I just said "it's good that Man City are beating Liverpool bc it means that point against Arsenal keeps us in 4th" and it just feels ridiculous that it's actually true #safc

Seaham Harbour's 'Tommy' by local sculptor Ray Lonsdale, sits overlooking the North Sea on the Durham coastline of North East England. I doubt there could be a more poignant focal point for today's act of remembrance. #remembrance #seaham #durham #sunrise

Great morning in Saighton Camp with fellow Christleton and Huntington Lib Dem Team member Chris Ward asking residents what matters to them where they live. We’re going to be visiting the whole of the estate over the next few weeks so if you see us please come and say hello! 🔶🔶🔶 #chester #CWAC

This is why I joined @libdems.org.uk. It isn’t just policy geekery. This is vital and so many problems in our democracy come back to the fact that the voting system fails us and stifles genuinely bold political ideas. It needs changing and there is only one party you can trust to change it.

The UAE statement that the latest UN Report “makes clear that there is no substantiated evidence that the UAE has provided any support to RSF” is, if one is being generous, stretching the interpretation of their findings. tinyurl.com/ynu3v73d news.sky.com/story/genoci...

If only I'd known how big a market it was going to become, I'd have invested heavily in shysters peddling hyperbolic bullshit.

Shame on Chris Philp. Using the horrendous attack in Huntington as cover to promote his thinly veiled dog whistle politics is a disgrace. Last time I checked the East Coast Mainline wasn’t a ‘crime hotspot area’. Make no mistake, his reference to stop and search is because the suspect is a black man

🎉 The countdown to the CSJ Awards begins. Who better to hear from than former Award Winner, and now our Chief Executive, Andy Cook. Every year, we celebrate small charities tackling the toughest issues in Britain. ⬇️ Watch Andy share what makes these Awards so special.

I’m hearing that talks are underway to make Ryan Giggs the Duke of York until the end of the season.

Liberal Democrat MPs 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 Trump's America. We won't let him.

How about Celtic stops wasting everybody’s time and just makes the sensible choice. Cometh the hour….

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for Andrew without the Epstein files actually been published he’s managed it! In PR terms I believe this is called ‘profoundly suboptimal’. Whatever action the government can take to strip him of his remaining privileges surely they must take now?

BREAKING - Liberal Democrats have overtaken Reform to become the largest group on Cornwall Council. We are the only party that can stand up and win against Nigel Farage, Reform and their divisive, populist politics.

Next time you get a Labour leaflet with a bar chart through your door remember that the good people of Caerphilly got this scientifically bob on literature during the recent by-election. I don’t know how the populace weren’t inspired to vote by a picture of a man with a brolly. Inspiring stuff.

In Sunderland, North East England, a brand new pedestrian/cycle bridge across the River Wear called 'Keel Crossing', now links the centre centre directly to Monkwearmouth's Sheepfolds and the Stadium of Light. #england #sunderland #stadiumoflight #bridge #photography

Come here and give me a kiss Wilson lad

"Yers avint playad enywun yit...", aye reeto 2-1 at Stamford Bridge and up to 2nd 😎

I bloody love this club! YES! YES! YES! HA’WAY THE LADS!!!

If you’re a neutral today then this is a helpful guide to who the baddies are

Of course he is 🙄 #safc #sunderland

Reform UK in Wales's press officer limbering up for a press conference after last night's result in Caerphilly. Nathan Gill's training lives long in the memory.

Zia Yusuf can spin this as much as he wants but that is not a close result. If you looked at the polls you may have thought this was neck and neck. A 3,848 majority is not neck and neck. I'm no fan of nationalists but voting for change and against Reform. That I can get behind. A lot to unpack.

You can talk the talk about growth all you want but unless we fix the avoidable harm caused by the hard brexit we got then talk is all it will be. Sign this petition and make your voice heard. www.libdems.org.uk/trade

My mate has just pointed out to me that the date they go to in the future in Back To The Future was exactly 10 years ago. I find that fact both geekily interesting and profoundly upsetting in equal measure.

Watching the last 15 mins of the West Ham v Brentford game. West Ham look every inch a team that will be going down. Fans look like they are checking out as well. Never a good sign. West Ham, Wolves and …?

Love this from the #nokings protests in the USA this weekend

FRIEND: It's called cauliflower. It's not ghost broccoli. ME: [taking a long drag on my cigarette] Listen kid, I know what I saw.

Women across Britain will be horrified to see Nigel Farage siding with Trump to roll back women’s rights. We’ll fight every attempt to turn Trump’s America into Farage’s Britain and undo decades of progress.

Hope is catching on 💛 Across towns and cities, people are showing that unity, care and community spirit still matter. Thank you to everyone taking part. #WeekendofHOPE

“Go home”? The Ukrainians already *are* home. This war stops overnight if the Russians, and the Russians alone, go home.

Swings and roundabouts innit Lozza? The Lord giveth with the racists but taketh away with the paedophiles. Tale as old as the hills. What a profoundly strange little man.

How it started vs How it's going. More details: buff.ly/GbIKw4P

@safc.com you utter utter bastards. This is absolutely lush, I’m inevitably going to buy it and then I’m going to have to explain to the wife just how this constitutes a necessary purchase. I don’t need you to help me get in trouble. I can do that all on my own.

Bradford, York and Toulouse in the new expanded Super League. Nice! 🏉

@restispoliticsus.bsky.social just listened to Friday’s episode and god it made me sad. I grew up admiring America and now it just seems to be descending so quickly. Is there any room for optimism or is that just naive?

2 years too late but good! I do not accept the argument that this flies in the face of English property law. These people have all been complicit in a criminal regime. They have forfeit their right to successfully object to this.

I’m a Wigan fan but fair play to Hull KR. Good to have another name on the trophy.

Got kicked out of my work’s holiday party planning committee for suggesting the theme be “man’s inhumanity to man”

A stonker of a night for us. Three huge wins, Reform nowhere near us and the Tories down to ten percent in Mel Stride’s own seat. We are the only party taking Farage on and the only party beating him.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

So what was it Nige? Were you incompetent, corrupt, complicit in borderline treasonous acts or a heady combination of all 3? Personally I think he is obviously corrupt and probably an outright traitor but I might be wrong. He might just be negligent in his job.

Memo to Trump: If you are a head of state and you want a Nobel Peace Prize probably best if you don’t rename your defence department The Department of War and then deploy troops against your own citizens. What a total doughnut.

@thehistoryguy.bsky.social listening to the History Hit episode on William The Marshal. Richard I’s response to King Philippe II that he’d better make good on his promise to show up with an army at Vendôme and if he didn’t he’d come and find him is the most baller message sent this side of Sparta.

I did a few years ago after leaving a Conservative Party that I’d come to find increasingly odious. I have never looked back. I second @eddavey.libdems.org.uk’s message. Come and join @libdems.org.uk, come and fight for real British values not populist bile and snake oil. @jamiegreeneuk.bsky.social

Heseltine at the Tory conf: "Fascists of the 30s are back... Trump's language coincides with words here... The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem. We must make clear we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Farage... We don't need Trump's mouthpiece anywhere near No. 10.”

Just when you think the Tories' most unintelligible nonsense of the day was failing to spell the name of the country they recently so roundly shafted, and profess to hope to do so again, enter Robert Jenrick MP! Trust me, abolishing the Sentencing Council would be moronic. tinyurl.com/5988tmk3

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges. The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.
