Ed Davey: “I worry that the populism we’re hearing from all types, whether it’s former Liberal Democrat Mr Polanski, whether it’s the SNP, or whether it’s Nigel Farage, it seems to be they want to divide people. They want to blame people. And I don’t think that’s a way you build a strong society.”

What dastardly schemes will this evil council conjure up next in its mission to.... checks notes... stop people getting killed by bad drivers

Liberal Democrats are leading with young voters. People who are disappointed and frustrated with Labour are switching to back the Lib Dems.

Taking a podcast and making it into a theatre show - life is varied for the Fun Kids team

Someone just said this to me mid-conversation: “OMG, you’re just like Phil Collins” Please respect my privacy at this difficult time

Next week we’re being taken over by REBELS AND LEGENDS! 🏹 Our participation showcase features our 100-strong choir, dancers, actors & participants of all ages in one incredible evening. Come & celebrate a year's worth of creativity! 🥳 nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk/events/rebel...

The people of Iran have suffered under a brutal regime for far too long. But a US President planning regime change in the Middle East feels like 2003 all over again. We’ve seen where that path leads and it does not end well.

Liberal Democrats will keep fighting until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are.

This was simultaneously hilarious and depressing - and that’s quite the talent

The inevitable result of Pride committees being stuffed with Labour partisans: - "we have to ban Labour this year cos they're so transphobic!" - "Fine! Well nobody can possibly be BETTER than Labour so we'll ban ALL parties!" It's fair to punish the bad but rewarding the good is important too IMHO

As someone who started improv in their 60s, and is usually the oldest person in the room, never mind onstage, I really appreciate @lloydiejl.bsky.social’s article! Thank you, because I sometimes wonder if I really belong! improvchronicle.substack.com/p/how-old-do...

Nottingham Labour don’t seem to be able to run themselves let alone our city www.nottinghampost.com/news/news-op...

Well, that was the most satisfying improv show I’ve done in a long while

Stunned, proud and extremely happy today as Fun Kids bags four nominations at the ARIAS - the Oscars of UK radio

Liberal Democrats proposed to use this tax to enable us to increase defence spending while protecting the foreign aid budget. Labour apparently plan to cut it to appease Trump - all the while cutting benefits for the most needy. Grotesque.

Left: Nigel Farage says medicine shortages after Brexit is, "Utter tosh.. It's complete and utter rubbish.. Project fear.. It should be utterly completely totally disregarded" Right: "Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages in four years"

Right now, Kemi Badenoch is doing more to defend JD Vance than the US is doing to defend Ukraine.

Really sad to hear about the death of Henry Kelly. He was a brilliant radio and TV presenter. I worked with him briefly in my first ever full time job and he was incredibly kind to me. Rest well Henry

Today he wants to curl up on my lap and purr as he snoozes. I shall allow this

I remain concerned about the ratio between time spent looking for something to watch on a streaming platform vs the amount of time watching it

Across the country, thousands of people in hospital are fit enough to go home, but are stuck awaiting care packages. You can’t fix the NHS without fixing social care. @alisonebennett.bsky.social

Labour’s failure cost so many people and companies dearly. Not a single councillor has resigned nottstv.com/failed-robin...

Wordle 1,328 2/6 ⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I’ll take that!

They can’t even govern themselves properly. It’s no wonder they’ve made such a hash of the city www.nottinghampost.com/news/notting...

OR, it IS the right starting point for us, and the government is being very silly

Today I bought a tiramisu. It “serves six people”. So far I am two and a half people. I may be four people by 8.30. Maybe more..

Maybe their next job could be in cyber? www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Surely the highlight of my political activism to be nominated for @assoclibdemcllrs.bsky.social Leaflet of the Year - vote Nottingham 🗳️

On the 6.49 @eastmidsrailway.bsky.social to London. 7 car train instead of 10 so no seat reservations. The heating isn’t working in one of the carriages. There is never not a problem of some sort.

Today, Yoda has been very busy chasing string and looking out of the window. He’s having an early snooze before his regular late snooze. Entirely understandable

I’m having to listen to the entire “Wicked” movie soundtrack “for work” today - I have some undoubtedly unpopular opinions

Your talent could be put to great use on a national radio station. Looking to move into audio for kids? We’re looking to find a presenter who gets what we do and wants to add their unique voice think.funkidslive.com/2024/11/21/f...

Today, I recommend listening to Kornfeld and Andrews: The Radio Plays. In part, it’s because I’m their producer, but mainly because they are incredibly talented. Check out the live episode first (Maternity Ward) which was recorded at the Magnet Theater, NYC Podfollow.com/kornfeldandandrews

Someone wants to stay warm

Protecting spending to write reports about independence - a "red line" for the Scottish Greens. Protecting a pledge to cut carbon emissions by 2030 - not a "red line" for the Scottish Greens, even when they were in government. Priorities.

A real treat to play to an incredible crowd at Improv Fest Ireland - a great festival that has grown without losing its sense of community. Really fun “Brand New Musical” show with Katy Schutte and Sam Marshall on keys - Dublin, you’ve been glorious

In 1925, King George V used a Marconi PA to address 90,000 people at the British Empire Exhibition. Here we are nearly 100 years later and UK train companies still can’t make a PA that is audible to a few hundred passengers

Hello Bluesky - a little about me: Work in radio and improvised theatre / comedy, passionately liberal (in the UK / Mill sense of the word), love travel and believe a good hand lotion can be transformative

I’ve been mainly doing Threads so far. Is this the cool place to be instead? I need a definitive answer
