one of a million little ways that Brexit has ruined our politics

Maybe the answer to political apathy, trust, and populism is for everyone to be a local councillor for a few weeks.

yet their conference main hall was our exhibition hall 🤔🤔🤔

remember when polling didn't matter for bbc coverage, only seats

two local icons in one shot

We simply refuse to build dense in most of this country and are paying the price www.theguardian.com/environment/...

BBC now running stories entirely predicated on talks with Zia Yousef, whose position now is....running an internal policy group within Reform? Trying to think of the last time the head of the Lib Dem Federal Policy Committee or internal figures from other parties were used as the basis for a story.

One day, a real-life journalist will question the British right's desperate need to be victimised rather than just regurgitate it for them

Tony Blair should be disqualified from any part of a peace deal in the Middle East for his illegal war in Iraq.

A remember when this guy had a pretty unblemished reputation and significant cross-party respect as late as... last year. And then threw it all away to burn his reputation down publicly as a foot soldier for Starmer.

I’d rather a “fat bloke in a wetsuit” than a wet bloke with no spine

I’m all for party’s doing surveys, but for the Green Party of England and Wales to claim it is a “confidential survey” when they process your personal data and use it for their campaigning is straight-up dishonesty and surely must be a breach of data protection legislation.

Back in Bristol for a wedding and I missed living here so much – truly nowhere else in the world like it

this is an extraordinary canary in the coal mine

So there's money for a second runway at Gatwick (high emissions) but not for better trains (low emissions). In a climate emergency. Make it make sense!

highlight of conference was, of course, singing We Shall Overcome holding a giant trans flag at Glee Club 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Liberal Democrats will not see our animal welfare standards sold out in a race to the bottom of dodgy trade deals with Donald Trump's administration. youtube.com/shorts/zJyJh...

I hope Tim Farron’s speech at Lib Dem conference last night goes viral. I think it will speak to a lot of the country.

The media - no, we're not going to report on serious Lib Dem policies The media - yes, we will report on fun stunts The media, also - the Lib Dems need to show they've got serious policies

In the Polanski row

lovely sight to see in bournemouth…

A large part of the 'plan' for Labour was to grow the economy to boost public services, and in part of how they were going to do that was by getting building. A complete failure. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Starmer has pulled out all the stops to flatter and impress Trump, but still hasn’t managed to get him to drop his damaging tariffs, take on Putin or tell Netanyahu to stop waging genocide. It’s time for the UK to stand tough with allies who share our values.

Come and work with me! Winchester Lib Dems are hiring a new Senior Campaign Organiser ahead of the inaugural Hampshire Mayoral election next year -- working alongside Danny Chambers MP, 32 City Councillors and 4 Hampshire County Councillors. Job advert here: www.winld.org.uk/work-for-us

Why is Ed Davey the only party leader calling out the absolutely insane fact that a foreign billionaire is trying to incite violence on our streets? Are we really this cucked as a nation? Also, why are our 'patriots' so eager to become America? We have the term 'flag shagger' for a reason.

They really have it all at Lib Dem conference… … at the same time apparently.

BBC Newsbeat just described Tommy Robinson as “an activist who is very anti-migration” which is a very understated way of saying white supremacist…

I don’t know when it became socially acceptable to put your massive bags on seats on trains where people are left standing but it’s become endemic!

who ever decided to give train platform staff mega phones deserves a swift kicking to the hague

The BBC must balance their political news so it doesn’t boost Nigel Farage’s dangerous, divisive politics.

People expect fair coverage from the BBC – not just endless coverage of Farage www.libdems.org.uk/bbc

I wonder if we’re in the golden age of the great grandparent. Past generations lived shorter lives and future generations are having children when they’re much older.

There's an interesting clash between the main thrust of this article: the party has professionalised, it's ready for government, and the actual content of the conference: health spokesperson claiming the covid vaccine gave the king cancer.

It’s crazy to me how close you can get to central London with these low density houses being the norm – no wonder so many people are forced into cramped HMOs at the mercy of rouge landlords well into their 30s. 📍 less than two minutes by train from Victoria Station

Seems an odd thing to hang your hat on when the youngest voter in the 2029 election will have been four at the height of Corbynmania in 2017… www.politicshome.com/news/article...

On the same day in the Telegraph:

The BBC liveblog can't even report what Ed Davey has to say without mentioning Farage...

not quite watergate is it

You know, the BBC's description of his former metier could have been a lot worse.

Next election the Greens will poll 80085 votes

Zach Polanski has beautiful and well-rounded opportunities just in front of him. A real chance to bust open British politics and rack up political wins. A full-breasted advocacy on environmental issues and a twin-pronged approach to growth. Let the door-knockers spring forth.

Never more thankful of Mark Pack for keeping in short and sweet when announcing leadership election results than when watching other parties. No offence but nobody wants to hear from this random Green Party lady!

this is some of the worst graphics I have ever seen

quotes that definitely won't appear all over his opponents leaflets...

A miserable day for the last 61 bus from Winchester to Eastleigh via Colden Common. Rural buses are a lifeline for individuals who do not drive - they are vital to allow people to live independently and get to hospital appointments or work.
