Next time they do just point out that membership is not the same as ground organisation. Last years the Greens lost 3 local council byelections that they were defending because they didn't field candidates.

My Lib Dem feed exploded with Greens mindlessly attacking Lib Dems in a way that used to be pretty rare on here. It was obvious they’ve just absorbed all the tankies. When they brag about their membership numbers I just cringe

I could understand it if they had the Tories on or even the Lib Dems... but Reform are nowhere near as big, nor are they likely to become the opposition. It's ridiculous.

Something doesn’t add up. Either way, we must do more to protect our democracy from threats - whether they’re from inside or outside the UK.

Now Nigel Farage has set his sights on a loophole to allow political donations via cryptocurrency, making it harder to know where money comes from. When he’s quizzed about failing to declare his massive second (& third) job payments on time, he says he “doesn’t do computers”.

Interference in our democracy, foreign or domestic, is something we must move quicker on. Recent cases, including disgraced Reform politician Nathan Gill working for the Russian government and Peter Mandelson sharing information with Epstein, are two examples of where current processes failed.

Here we go again - UK in a changing Europe Anand Menon argues that while the UK government speaks more freely about the economic impact of Brexit and its ambitions for closer ties to the EU, its red lines will limit what it is able to achieve.

Talking about the economic impact of Brexit is one thing. Doing something about is something else entirely. Me for @ukandeu.bsky.social ukandeu.ac.uk/here-we-go-a...

The “we all are going to die” lady-on her way out of Congress-wants to send troops to Iran so they can fight in an illegal war to cover up claims in the Epstein files that Trump is a pedophile

Seven troops have now died and there’s still no evidence showing Iran was an imminent threat to the US

Sincerely I hope Magyar and allies throw Orban and his criminal cohorts out of power in April. Hungary is an anchor around EU's neck currently. Hungary deserves better than Lard Orban.

Hungary’s Orbán claims Ukrainians ‘threatened’ his family as election campaign ramps up Prime minister makes claim as accusations mount that he is using row with Ukraine for political gain in run-up to elections

Knowing that the Kremlin has sent its political strategists to help him, I’m afraid Orban may soon start pushing even more deranged nonsense, things like a “Ukrainian terrorist attacks” in Hungary or a “Ukrainian assassination attempt” against him.

The Kremlin-linked Social Design Agency has developed a disinformation campaign backing Orbán ahead of Hungary's elections, targeting opposition leader Péter Magyar, the Financial Times reported. The campaign portrays Orbán as a sovereign leader and Magyar as a "Brussels puppet." #Europe
