Lib Demmer, Offshore Radio Anorak, vegetarian, supporter of animal rights. Long suffering West Ham fan and full of useful (or useless!) trivia. Finally left the right wing sesspit that is X. Final straw account was hacked.
I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.
There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British familiesβ energy bills through the roof.
In many constituencies across Scotland, we are on the verge of winning against the SNP.
But wherever you are, every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the second peach ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.
πΆCampaign Drop Ins: Reformβs council finance failuresβ¬οΈ
Reform have increased council tax in every council they run and have wasted millions on Trump/Musk inspired βDOGEβ projects attempting to cut council waste, only to discover there is hardly any waste to cut.

Off-roading in our chalk streams destroys our natural environment and kills wildlife.
The Conservative-run Hampshire County Council must listen and take decisive action.
I secured a meeting with the Minister to discuss ways to ensure this ecological vandalism is stopped for good.
I am proud that @libdems.org.uk introduced premium funding to ensure disadvantaged children - wherever they live - get more support at school. Ministers are proposing to "rebalance" funding and need to come clean as to who will lose out, and guarantee cash will always follow the child.

Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran.
Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.
Energy companies and networks should be far more transparent about the profits they make. Especially as this directly impacts bills - people deserve to see the breakdown. π
I asked Ofgem and the system operator: why is it so difficult to give bill payers a clear, accurate figure?

Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.
When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.
He then got detained by Saudi guards.

This is the Government literally celebrating the closing down of 'safe and legal' routes for some asylum seekers.
They say that 39% of asylum claims last year were from refugees arriving by legal means, as if that's a bad thing...

All I will say is that last year Greens lost 3 council by-elections in seats they were defending because they didn't field candidates.
