Nigel Farage Broke Britain.

I really couldn't give a tinker's cuss about Starmer, Badenoch or Farage. I'm still going to vote for the the 3rd largest party, the Lib Dems, at every by-election and general election, barely getting a mention in the media these days probably because they're too left wing and actually give a damn.

80 years ago the nation celebrated Victory in Europe Day.

Today we remember and thank those who fought for our freedom.

Soldiers, units and civilians from across North Shropshire contributed huge amounts to the war effort and we should all be immensely grateful.

Usually we meet politically but this was different. @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social, @cllralexwagner.bsky.social & I were, last Saturday, supporting a MND Gala Dinner organised by Nick Deane & Nick Jones & their wonderful team.
The event at @shrewsburytown.com raised over Β£15,000, a stunning result

How well do you know Shrewsbury? Test yourself with our new jigsaw that highlights the town’s iconic streets places. Of all the names, Pig Trough is my favourite! The puzzle is available to buy from the Card Stall in the Market Hall and also through our website - bit.ly/3E9oCDC #Shropshire

I genuinely don't think there can be many better ways to spend three quid in our county than taking a ride through the Severn Valley from #Shrewsbury to #Ironbridge on the 96 bus: stunning scenery, bone-shakingly life affirming, and usually driven at thrilling speeds! Recommended βœ…

Poor condition of Shrewsbury road ignored by local authority, says councillor Residents and a local councillor say they are being ignored by Shropshire Council over the severe deterioration of a busy Shrewsbury road.

Classic of the "pointing at potholes" genre @robwilson.bsky.social

True though, the road is shocking.

An excellent session calling on voters in Craven Arms with LibDem candidate for the May elections, Josh Dicken.
Really encouraging levels of support for Josh as a proven local campaigner. Not a single good word for the Conservatives running Shropshire Council.

Uncontrolled spending on the Tories' Β£200m North West Road in Shrewsbury Or Safer streets across the whole county with the Liberal Democrats

The endless unfunded spending on the Tories’ North West Relief Road has to stop.

The price tag, now approaching Β£200m, is simply unaffordable.

The Lib Dems will work with communities to make our streets safer for everyone across the county.

New year developments mean government deadlock on the EU can’t continue Shifting tides in UK-EU relations: new developments spark cautious hope for closer alignment in 2025

"A YouGov poll on 21 January asked β€˜Who would you rather have as a closer trading partner to the UK…?’

Of all adults, 53% said the EU, and 21% said the US. The younger you were, or if you were a woman, the more likely you were to say the EU. Even 20% of Reform UK supporters said the EU!"
