“We Liberal Democrats are fiercely opposed to a Chinese ‘super-embassy’."

“This is a really serious question about national security.”

It was an honour to meet the Ukrainian Speaker, Ruslan Stefanchuck.

I will continue to push the UK Government to strengthen and deepen our 100-year partnership, including on healthcare.

Liberal Democrats are steadfast in our commitment to support Ukraine.

I want planning reform. I think this planning reform is bad. It removes protection for the environment we actually have on the promise of cash to try and reclaim a whole new environment somewhere else at some point in the future. We won’t have an ecosystem left soon.

Also also not everything is a distraction

he’s always on so that wouldn’t really work but also they’re trying to attract attention to this story not deflect from it

Hey @newsagents.bsky.social @jonsopel1.bsky.social @maitlis.bsky.social the LGBT movement has been warning about right wing money flooding into the UK for years. Thought you might have mentioned it.

Surprised you didn’t see the direct parallel between what they’re doing with abortion & trans rights

Elon Musk is stoking far-right extremism on our streets.

The Prime Minister should order a security assessment of the threat Musk poses to our democracy.

Holden is fundamentally talentless and has done nothing for politics or the country.

No, the Tories started sending him to do the media just because he’s prepared to be a troll and shout at people.

The Tories have nothing left except trolling and he embodies that. He’s a symptom of their decay.

Morley football pitches vandalised three times in fortnight Tyre tracks appear across pitches used by Morley Glen Junior Football Club.

It’s so sad to see such mindless vandalism targeting a much loved club. These fields are a vital community asset for Morley.

It’s long past time for the police to actually get serious about the constant anti-social behaviour from these bikes

All the time. Had it for years. I have to put aeroplane mode on and off to make it search for a sign again.

I feel like ‘we need to do more than 1 thing’ was implied

I have worked with MMC for years and it feels like we haven’t moved an inch in a decade.

Omg yes.

I spend my life trying to get people to take the labour shortage seriously as a limiting factor on building and all I get back is planning reform talking points. Over and over again.

lol

Well said tom

The Council of Europe has warned that the UK gov’s treatment of trans people may breach human rights law.

This must be a wake up call.

We’ve seen an increase in hostility towards trans in recent years.

Everyone deserves dignity, safety, & respect - that includes trans people.

That is what planning enforcement is for. You can’t object to a scheme on the basis that it might not work out perfectly - we can only deal with with facts as they are

Thanks yes the one from the splc is interesting. That’s actually noting interference from 2015!

Why are we all posting old selfies today? Is it just to mourn the inevitable decay with the passage of time?

And Lib Dems. Don’t ask me what the venn diagram looks like

@garethjones.bsky.social can I just check because without a pic it’s not clear but are you the gareth that I actually know?

I don’t really know where to find this but I’d be interested to read some of that early reporting. Do you have a link to anything please or know where I should be looking? Feel like I’ve been trying to warn about American right wing money flooding into the UK for years.

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

I think you have overlooked the fact that abortion did not used to be an evangelical Christian position. They considered abortion rhetoric to be a romantic catholic issue.

It was a well funded and organised political campaign that created that religious fundamentalist movement in the first place.
