We are deeply concerned by reports of a violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester today. We unequivocally condemn this act of violence.

Richard Tice during an interview "Keir Starmer literally used the words: take up arms and go for the enemy" What a lemon Firstly (& most importantly) he DID NOT say that. Secondly you can’t wang on about language you don’t like AND parade Lucy Connolly like a mascot. Make your mind up.

Four people have been injured in an attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur. A major incident, being investigated as terrorism, with suspect/perpetrator reportedly shot at the scene. Updates www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

Horrified and appalled by the attack outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. My thoughts are with the victims, our brave emergency services and the entire Jewish community.

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

Owen Jones has been banned from 'Labour' Party conference - but Maya Forstater is welcome. And they wonder why progressive voters are deserting them in droves.

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Doing Putin’s bidding? That is Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain. We need a new inquiry by the Intelligence and Security Committee into Reform and Farage's links to Russia.

I just checked the BBC news website. Eventually, at the bottom of the politics section after the negative Labour stories...

Anti-rights activists and hate groups have already made claims and suggestions on usage to restrict access to spaces via a digital locking system on doors of single-sex spaces.

If you are fed up with the two old parties letting you down. If you are scared of the rise of racism and extremism. If you believe in decency, tolerance and the rule of law. Join us. Because we believe in the British people. We love our country. And together, we can change it for good.

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

Former Tory MSP - and now Lib Dem MSP - Jamie Greene tells LD conference the Tories have "abandoned any decency that they had left in them. They are in a race to the bottom...That's not a race I was willing to participate in a minute longer" The party told him "good riddance" when he left, he says

a) Labour rules against dozens of motions about Palestine being debated at party conference b) The Lib Dems have declared that a genocide is taking place c) Resign your Labour 🥀 party membership d) Join the Lib Dems 🔶 libdems.my.salesforce-sites.com/LiberalDemoc...

Once again, it is the political satirists I feel sorry for.

Millions feel powerless when witnessing the horror in Gaza. Ed Davey has used his voice to ensure that it is part of the conversation during Trump's state visit.

It helps to understand modern politics if you understand that parts of the new right are as dedicated to overthrowing modern democratic societies as much as the communist left of old. They believe society has become corrupted. What is different is their media and business support.

Whether or not a #Genocide is happening in #Gaza is a legal matter and needs to be decided in the ICJ in due course. However, the immediate issue is not what we call the appalling slaughter happening in Gaza but how we stop it. 1/3

Apply the same rules to Elon Musk as to others is a good thing to keep pressing. He & his platform both act as if they are above the law. We need the rule of law for all

This shouldn’t be hard. Or rare. But well done all the same.

Is it time to hold Elon Musk and his incendiary politics to account? youtube.com/shorts/n5J4D...

Netanyahu is no Zionist For all his bluster, for all his claims to be “Mr Security”, Netanyahu is now a liability to Israel, to Zionism, to Jews and must go.

“The protests in Israel are only about the hostages, not Palestinians in Gaza.” Lets talk about it 🧵

Again, I really do have concerns about exactly how Justin Webb is acquiring his knowledge of US politics or what prompted him to make this exact point.

Sick of the BBC acting as a mouthpiece for Farage and Reform? Us too. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

@libdems.org.uk wade in on the demand for fair coverage. But it’s not just about the BBC! all our PSBs are overplatforming. We need fair coverage now. @greenparty.org.uk @snp.org @plaidcymru.bsky.social should also join campaign for fair coverage of all our parties. Our petition nearly 17k sigs

Back our campaign today to balance the BBC 👇www.libdems.org.uk/BBC

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

BBC coverage of Reform is becoming increasingly problematic. And goes beyond the usual white noise. Continuous soft balling is not balance, it is a fundamental abdication of duty. Farage's tax issues, cranks given platforms at their conference, climate change denial. All need coverage. Most haven't.

broadcasters seem determined to bang the drum enough to get Farage over 40% in the polls legitimising their over platforming. Self fulfilling prophecy. They’re also obsessed with framing all as left v right. We’re not USA. Keep signing for fair coverage petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

The TUC has today warned that insecure work is “pervasive” in every corner of the UK, and that it is holding back workers and the economy The union body says the Govt's flagship workers’ rights bill will tackle Britain’s 'insecure work epidemic' TUC: 4 million people are currently in insecure work

You have to keep pointing out this ridiculous, obvious, weapons grade absurdity, moral corruption & hypocrisy. Even - no, *especially* - when you’re wondering whether it’s even worth it anymore… It’s *always* worth it.

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.
