Are you fucking kidding?

Have we forgotten what we stand for? I joined the Liberal Democrats six years ago. I was 16, I’d just finished my GCSEs and I wanted to make a difference. I believe in Liberalism, and the party’s preamble spoke to me. After all, who woul...

Please see below my article for Lib Dem Voice titled 'Have we forgotten what we stand for?'.

In it I talk about why so many young and diverse members feel disillusionment with the party and what I believe needs to change.

It is truly insane the lengths that the Lib Dems will go to piss off their own members and drive them away. No wonder party membership halved

It is simultaneously true that Reform are very likely to make significant advances at the next election and that candidate selection is going to be wild.

One of the freeing things about the fact that it isn't my country is that you can enjoy this story for just how funny it is and how many people are disgracing themselves by saying things like this screengrab.

I love that bluesky is less addictive than twitter but omg so I miss days like this

HOW

I just ???????????

Oh? My? God?

Average Tory leadership hopeful: we should re-establish the Raj. Let's have a fifth Anglo-Asante war. I do not think that Romanians count as people on a legal or metaphysical level.

Labour response: after 14 years of Tory mismanagement only Labour can be trusted to strip Romanians of their souls.

Wait he has nazi tattoos???? Pls tell me this is a joke????

This is definitely one of those things that people would’ve called you hysterical for predicting a year ago.

Trump is going to destroy the East Room of the White House without even asking Congress and build a ballroom with funds from private companies that are seeking favors? Settle down, lib.

This is a crucial point

And why the ‘stay on X/Twitter so you don’t cede the public square’ is such a nonsense argument

It isn’t Hyde Park, it’s a billionaire controlled algorithm *designed* to spread far right ideologies

Brendan Clarke-Smith - a former government minister and ex-Tory MP for Bassetlaw - regrets that the journalist was asked to apologise for suggesting the British-born Muslim leftwing MP be deported (along with "Zarahs" in general). Says its "faux outrage" to object to deporting minorities/opponents

new "self-driving by the end of the year" just dropped

It took less than three episodes before they were invaded by holodeck lobsters.

Thought you were gonna say "don't sit on a chair like that"

This is very My Mother coded

anarcholiberal-transatlanticism. my favorite ideology

Generative AI presents a huge challenge to democratic politics in creation of disinformation - but there also needs to be focus on the platforms that enable and encourage the spread of this disinformation. Politicians should condemn disinformation in all its forms.

In a sense, there are a lot of easy things they could do to appeal to this bloc, but they don't seem to want to. I think a Cameron type leader could win a lot of those voters back quickly. I'm not sure a Cameron style leadership candidate makes it past the first round of MPs votes in this Tory party

Love to repeat the main claim of my opponent campaign and also put a disparaging word next to our candidate's head in a huge size

Zohran Mamdani is a trained performer who has an extremely disciplined and laser-focused ability to recite on-message talking points in response to any question, and yet voters overwhelming praise him as being especially "authentic" compared to other politicians. There's a lesson here!

This should lead to Calgie being exiled from any decent journalistic circle.

It won't, of course

I'm just confused by why you'd phrase it like that. Clearly they mean other titles. But why phrase it like that. So much BBC News is so badly written now.

This is exactly it! The average uk viewer only sees the smiley telly version of some of these people
