Cameron Thomas MP 🔶

Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…

I attended the protest outside of Rockstar North in Edinburgh this evening to stand in solidarity with the more than 30 workers across the UK, including a number of my constituents who have been sacked.

Congratulations Harry!

Congratulations to @Victoria-Collins.bsky.social - newly elected Vice President of the Liberal Democrats.

Every time Trump has sued the media after he threatens $1 billion BBC legal action BBC chair Samir Shah called the American leader a ‘litigious fellow’

Trump’s latest attack on the free press...

Donald Trump has now sued The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Walt Disney, which owns ABC News, CBS News, and CNN.

This is unacceptable.

The BBC is tearing itself apart to appease publications and politicians who want to see it die.

An absolutely kamikaze approach to running a media organisation. I can't see it ending well.

Great to know one of the world’s biggest social media platforms is run by such a level-headed guy who definitely wouldn’t use his influence to poison our politics or divide the country.

Nothing to worry about at all.

An honour to take up my second annual Parliamentary Poppy Ride this week, representing Tewkesbury constituency in support of Royal British Legion.

Ministry of Defence to spend £9bn renovating military housing The poor state of military housing has been a consistent complaint among serving personnel in recent years.

I really welcome this. Scaling up our military strength is not just about tanks and ships.

It is also about morale.

Our troops could be asked to put their lives on the line to protect us. The least we can do is give them somewhere decent to live.

Elon Musk Is Gaming the Internet for Fascism The billionaire X owner is accelerating his AI-driven assaults on reality and Europe had better harden its defences, argues Heidi Siegmund Cuda

"Musk’s Grok is among the AI models pushing Russian state propaganda, actually citing Russian state media sites, when prompted about the war in Ukraine."

For the millionth time: Why in the name of all that is good is the Government still addicted to X?

We just stopped Nigel Farage’s plan to drag Britain out of the ECHR and tear up people’s rights. Farage wanted to scrap Churchill’s legacy and bring us closer to Trump's America.

Today Tewkesbury voted to protect your human rights.

Thank you for the honour.

So proud of my fellow Liberal Democrats this afternoon, along with those members of other parties who have defeated Farage's latest attempt to undermine Britain's place in the world.

I'm so proud to have registered Tewkesbury's vote against this damaging, populist twaddle.

We just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.

Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into a version of Trump's America. We stopped him.

"The Ross and Rachel of Bolshevism".

"The shit that comes out of your mouth".

Outstanding.

If racism has no place in his party, then Nigel Farage should prove it by withdrawing the whip from Sarah Pochin immediately.

Political parties that deny climate change exists are no friends of farmers.

They are paving the way for deeper losses and long-term damage to British farming.

Over the weekend, the Shadow Home Secretary showed how spineless the Conservative Party has become by failing to immediately call out Pochin’s racist remarks for what they were. It’s about time they stood up for the traditional British values of decency and tolerance, rather than bowing to Farage.

Sarah Pochin’s remarks were blatantly racist. Decent MPs from across party lines should now come together to condemn this disgraceful behaviour and show the public that this will never be tolerated by Parliament.

ICYMI on Sarah Pochin's remarks to Talk TV on Sat, where she complained that “adverts are full of Black people and Asian people”, Lib Dem MP Max Wilkinson said:

"Nigel Farage keeps insisting that racism has no place in his party. Now is his chance to prove it - he must withdraw the whip."

I went 7 wins in a row from the off, but the second half of the night was humbling. I reckon I won around 50% of the games.

There's some real talent around here!

This week I collaborated with The New Plough in Tewkesbury, to raise money for @prostatecanceruk.bsky.social.

Our "Beat the MP" pool competition raised £165 for this excellent charity.

Reform UK MP says seeing adverts 'full of Black people' drives her 'mad' Sarah Pochin was responding to a question about whether her party will do anything about the 'representation of demographics in TV adverts', and claimed white people were 'demonised'

Didn't take long for "Stop the boats!" to become "Stop the blacks!"

It's only three wins in a row.

Not long ago they took shit from Grimsby.

Reform UK MP says seeing adverts 'full of Black people' drives her 'mad' Sarah Pochin was responding to a question about whether her party will do anything about the 'representation of demographics in TV adverts', and claimed white people were 'demonised'

I'm assuming this was the interview for that vacant TalkRADIO slot.

Do we know when she starts?

Reform UK MP says seeing adverts 'full of Black people' drives her 'mad' Sarah Pochin was responding to a question about whether her party will do anything about the 'representation of demographics in TV adverts', and claimed white people were 'demonised'

A far right politician with credibility is dangerous: they dog whistle rather than speak their racism aloud, and they speak calmly and clearly.

We're sure they're racists, but it's hard to prove.

I'm really grateful when the likes of Pochin say the quiet part out loud and prove it for free.

Wrongly-released migrant 'tried to return to prison 4 or 5 times', witness says The driver says Kebatu returned to the prison 'four or five times' and was eventually sent away in a 'stressed' and 'upset' state.

I didn’t think this story could get worse, but the Prison Service had several chances to fix it and failed. The Government now has serious questions to answer and major work to do to make the system fit for purpose. It certainly isn't at the moment.
