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 families’ 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.

πŸ”ΆCampaign Drop Ins: Reform’s council finance failures⬇️

Reform have increased council tax in every council they run and have wasted millions on Trump/Musk inspired β€˜DOGE’ projects attempting to cut council waste, only to discover there is hardly any waste to cut.

It’s #braintumourawarenessmonth. This week I spoke to Brain Tumour Research in Parliament about improving outcomes for everyone living with brain cancer and widening access to vital treatments.

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.

That it's a bad idea to get involved in a Middle East war with open-ended objectives is pretty hard coded in the public mind at this point.

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. πŸ“„

I asked Ofgem and the system operator: why is it so difficult to give bill payers a clear, accurate figure?

Andrew Tate held in 'detention centre' after pointless attempt to reach Dubai Andrew Tate has allegedly been held in a detention centre as he tries to get to Dubai, apparently to prove some kind of point.Apropos of nothing, controversial manosphere influencer Tate has seemingly...

And Tate reports saying to the guards, β€œI’m like, β€˜Do you know who I am?’.”
Entitlement.

I would now invite you all to look at the graphic on the left and the reality of the situation and ask you to join me in laughing your head off.

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.

King Donald the Mad says Iran has used up all of its missiles.

Anyone believe him?

Have you been affected by the backlog in the UK justice system? Chichester’s MP and other LibDems are proposing solutions.

Over Β£370 million saved in crackdown on asylum claims by tourists Almost Β£400Β millionΒ has been saved in asylum accommodation and support costs after a crackdown on tourists abusing the UK’s immigration system.

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...

I’m delighted that our parliament (and the media) has noticed the huge harms AI does to creativity and copyright. I just wish they’d pay similar attention to the huge harms it does to privacy.

Yet Lib Dems have a lower membership and win more seats. You really need to post this for balance.

Somewhat lost under the hideousness of Shabana Mahmood’s plans is the fact that immigration is a bloody good thing. We need more of it, not less.

The post is not correct. This is the 2nd loss for company with only 8MPs their first loss was to @libdems.org.uk

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.
