An atmospheric evening in London after late votes on the budget including voting against the stealth tax from frozen personal allowance and taking a stance against the family farm tax.

Walk-outs, in-fighting, acrimony, two founding leaders fighting it out every day in public…. And that’s all before the first party conference concludes! This is not Your Party, this is Your Pantomime!! What a farce #YourParty #Corbyn #Sultana #libdems www.bbc.com/news/article...

As Gulf countries push to become AI powerhouses, weak regulatory guardrails and state-led control risk reinforcing authoritarian governance and undermining fundamental rights, writes Dima M. Toukan.

This is real leadership and deserves proper media coverage. Instead we are still going to get a media obsessed with 5-MP outfit Reform. It’s a disgrace #libdems @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Some won’t like me saying this! But Trump’s behaviour at the Mamdani press conference yesterday was his finest moment. Gracious, graceful, open to another view, witty and more. If only that Trump was there all the time! I was positively surprised. #Trump #Mamdani #NewYork

Boris Johnson was a failure as Prime Minister. But I feel frankly that the Covid Inquiry is too harsh. The whole pandemic was so unexpected and unprecedented, it’s easy to look back and judge every move. I think Boris and co tried their best in a very difficult situation. Hindsight is 20/20.

In a battle between the BBC and Nigel Farage, I stand with the #BBC

As a proud member of the LibDem party, I call on our leadership to do all they can to bring back Nick Clegg to frontline British politics. We need him more than ever. All in favour, please reshare. #libdems #NickClegg @libdems.org.uk @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

Of course, the awful Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch are standing with anyone against British interests and institutions. But the good news is that the #BBC will be there and thriving long after #Farage and #Badenoch are seen as tiny fascists that never stood a chance against the good ppl of Britain

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk is being absolutely heroic in standing up for the #BBC. Sure mistakes were made. But this is a great news organization that all Brits must be proud of. It has screwed up. But the attack on it by politicians that have broken all lying records in history shd sway no one!

I’ve never supported socialism but it’s clear that #ZohranMamdani ran a campaign that electrified the youth of NYC and beyond with its positive message and its focus on ethical issues like Gaza. The attacks directed at him are the worst in the modern era. Islamophobia unhinged and unabashed.

In this uniquely dangerous moment in British history, is it time for a Yellow & Green Alliance? The #GreenParty under #ZackPolanski is an exciting prospect and it’s appealing to younger voters. #LibDems are also on the march. Should we consider a strategic and long lasting alliance to stop #Reform?

What on earth is Elon Musk doing endorsing this racist thug. Tommy Robinson is on record with the vilest statements against Muslims and all sorts of incitements towards violence against Muslims. What is Elon saying to his Muslim customers around the world ? This needs an urgent answer.

Spot on. Everyone can speak and protest. But when those people choose to do it under the banner of #TommyRobinson, a convicted criminal and a raging racist/Islamophobe, then they have a lot of explaining to do. Yes let’s have an open discussion on immigration and identity but never ever like this.

I’ve seen some pathetic political sights in my time, but nothing quite reaches the lows of the #Reform party conference. It looks sad, hollow and terrifying in equal measure. #NigelFarage is patronizing and totally charmless. How anyone votes for this circus is beyond me.

With the Gaza massacres escalating, and economic challenges on the rise, this whole Angela Rayner story is a distraction. She has a complex family situation. Leave her alone and focus on ppl literally dying on our watch. To quote #NickClegg, politics shd not be for “monks and robots” only. #libdems

Hear hear ! You can keep him America! I’m sure #NigelFarage would love a job shining Trump’s shoes every day!

Well done to US Congressman Ruskin for standing up for #Britain, while our possible next Prime Minister compares the UK to North Korea!!! If this is not treason, then I’m the King of China ! #Farage #treason

The Voice of Hind Rajab gets 23-minute ovation at Venice film festival

The #Tories are turning outright fascist against anything Arab and #Palestinian. They think it’s a good election strategy to be openly racist and heartless. Shame on you all!

Let’s see what the ethics adviser says, but maybe instead of all this jumping up and down, now would be a good time to discuss how we look after disabled children and build a more caring country.

The most ethical leader in the country. Let’s make him Prime Minister in the next election.

It seems slimy Tony Blair isn’t satisfied with starting the most unethical war in human history. Iraq war still contributing to chaos in the region. It seems #TonyBlair wants that little icing on the cake in his cv of immoral foreign achievements: Ethnic cleansing of #Palestinians. Awful human.

Congratulations to London Liberal Democrats for an incredible result in West Hampstead last night. Janet Grauberg will make a fantastic local councillor. Bring on the local elections next year!

If you r a voter angered by status quo, by complicity in Gaza Genocide (Labour) or encouragement of it (Tories) or mad support of it (Reform).If you dream of an ethical foreign policy. Choice couldn’t be clearer. Only party with a real chance of power standing for what’s right @libdems.org.uk

Tony Blair needs to come before Parliament to give evidence about his discussions with the Trump administration about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Trump has a unique power to end this war. We must leverage all the information at our disposal to make him do the right thing.

Just listened to the first few minutes. Very interesting exchange. Don’t agree with Rory that Lib Dems have avoided national issues especially post election. But if he’s thinking it, others are too. The question is what can be done differently today to shed this perception.

An interesting discussion by @rory-stewart.bsky.social and Alistair on the LibDems in the opening ten minutes of this. What are your thoughts ? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

How wonderful. Watching BBC give 90% of its political coverage to an opposition party that has 5 seats, while ignoring 100 % an opposition party with 72 seats. The media and the far right are lovestruck bedfellows. When we have Nigel Farage as PM,we know full well who to blame. Nonsense #libdems

Hear hear ! Very well said. Our party has the most moral position on Gaza. History will be kind to the LibDems. It will be unkind to Labour and downright brutal to the Tories’ horrid anti-Palestinian rights’ stance. All those in favor of an ethical UK foreign policy should join the #LibDems

Since I rarely get to NYC these days, I figured I better take this picture before it disappears

A profile in courage. History will remember extraordinary people like #KitMalthouse x.com/nicholasguya...

Every single day, the bloodbath continues. Fellow humans, children with lives and dreams just like our own. Killed in an uncaring world. This will haunt humanity for a very long time

The amount of racism, lies, hatred and thuggery this man faces every day …. It’s enough to ruin anyone with decades of experience and wisdom, let alone a young man of 33. His courage inspires me. May God bless and protect you @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social . A living legend. #zohran

The #LibDems need a new strategy to go well beyond the 14 percent national vote share we seem stuck at. We are doing well against the Tories in various seats. But we are not yet proposing an exciting, engaging and smart set of policies to counter the rise of #Reform. @libdems.org.uk

“There is a risk our societies are growing apart, that our young people do not know each other & may end up as strangers, at a time when international events remind us on a daily basis of our common future..Let's fix it" Emmanuel Macron President of France👏

Hear hear. No better way of saying it. Let #Reform occupy the space for overreaction, hate and extremism. We are firmly in the corner of love, hope and progress. #libdems

Really good result. Well done team #LibDem

Proves what we all know. The #LibDems must lead on this point and push for a new framework with the EU. The majority of Brits want that.

It’s the first time since the early 80s that a third party leads in the polls. And it’s not us #LibDems. Nothing clarifies the need for us to have a clear and aggressive national message than this. People are looking to us. We need to counter #Reform on the broad national stage.

The level of nastiness is truly appalling and yet he continues his fight with such grace…He’s going to need all the support he can get.
