Tied with the Tories and three points behind Labour…

Torsten Bell, if using such poor language, is just a poor attempt to be dismissive of a Ed now perceived as a threat.

I live for the day we have collaborative politics rather than school yard behaviour

Roll on electoral reform!!!!

Labour, triggered.

Sad news

Former LibDem leader Menzies 'Ming' Campbell dies aged 84

Former LibDem leader Menzies Campbell has died aged 84

At #libdem conference and proposed an amendment to F8 policy that means that 111 calls made to the #NHS would never take longer than three minutes to get through.

The guarantee is an important reassurance, especially during times when demand for 111 is at its peak.

Can the Lib Dems escape obscurity? Ed Davey on charges that he’s not cutting through and why he’s “obsessed” with politically homeless Tories.

'Countless' BBC staff have told Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey that they agree with the party’s petition to “balance the BBC" away from Farage's party (as reported by Byline Times) he says in a pre-conference interview with the NS today

On International Day of Democracy I'm calling for Proportional Representation.

Today marks International #DemocracyDay.

Democracy matters - and it cannot be taken for granted.

Our voting system leaves swathes of people feeling powerless and fuels disillusionment, which can have dangerous consequences.

Change can't wait. We need #PRnow.

100% agree. Free speech thrives when it coexists with accountability, ensuring that no voice causes harm to the broader social fabric.

It becomes intimidation when it escalates to incitement to violence, hate speech, harassment, or the creation of a hostile environment that causes distress.

Ed Davey Tweet Quote Graphic: TEXT: Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law. These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

It’s appalling to see police officers come under attack at the Tommy Robinson rally. Those involved should be held accountable through the full force of the law.

Amazing

YouTube video by Times News How Dangerous is the UK? #shorts

Well, well! Look who's brightened my day. It's Fraser Nelson and the Times!

I would never have predicted that in a million years.

Thanks Shyamali, it is a fabulous TED talk - well worth a listen should anyone chose.

The #BBC would do well to listen to this TED talk on the danger of a single story to represent, rather than the complexity that really exists 👇👇👇

I despair, this type of rhetoric is so dangerous.

Child vaccination rates have dropped in the UK, leading to increased outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases like measles and polio. Factors contributing to this incl. disruption from the pandemic, a rise in vaccine misinformation and hesitancy

Doctor uses Reform conference speech to link king’s cancer to Covid vaccine Aseem Malhotra claimed ‘eminent oncologist’ said jab was ‘significant factor in the cancer of members of royal family’

It’s clear there is no lie too low or dangerous for Farage and his acolytes. Let there be no doubt: Reform are a threat to our health. We cannot let them get their hands on our NHS.

So many Labourites on here, saying that if you disagree with Rayner's actions it's solely because you hate women and the working class...

I don't hate women. I'm a gay man. I abhor misogyny and any form of bigotry.

I'm working class.

Weaponising her gender and supposed social standing is rubbish.

English water firms spend £16.6m on legal fees over environmental breaches MPs on Commons committee describe figures as a waste and say money should have been used to fix infrastructure

English water companies spent £16.6m fighting legal action against regulators and campaigners over environmental breaches.

Abuse of bill payers.

Companies pay lawyers instead of investing in infrastructure to prevent sewage dumping.

Read the room, then lead the room.

I will not be dragged to the right by media hysteria over immigration. It remains an issue which demands respect and compassion.

The government must take care not to join the Conservative Party and Reform UK in the abyss.

🧵 Reform UK are truly a bunch of 🤪as a political party….they’ve invited a known conspiracy theorist who’s currently under investigation by the GMC to speak to their conference next weekend…

What an utter disappointment this @teamlabouruk.bsky.social Government are.

They know exiting or to use Straw’s weasel words ‘decoupling’ from the ECHR would breach the Northern Ireland agreement.

Is there no depths they won’t stoop too?

Good luck to everyone getting #GCSE results today.

Good luck to everyone receiving their A-level, BTEC and T-level results today.

Tax in the UK is rather average

Given that this is a fact overlooked by the media, it’s worth pointing out

In terms of spending that Tax less goes on health & social care than most G20 nations

But the media/rich cry & the sheep people believe
