Waiting for the Mainstream Media to run wall to wall, 24 hour rolling news about @eddavey.libdems.org.uk electoral success, rather than endlessly fawning over Nige.

‼️Internal Liberal Democrats Election Post - I'm running for Fereral Conference Committee. 🗳️𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐄 #𝟏 🧡I'm hoping to build the first time experience, look into ways to make conf more accessible and bring more of our local voices forward.

I'm so happy to back Josh for Party President, we need to build on all the hard work already done, and turbo charge our party towards 100+ seats.

Voters need to know what the Lib Dems stand for: what three key things would be different under a Lib Dem government. Today, no-one really does.

The entire board of Liberal Reform writes for Lib Dem Voice - and I agree with it.

Are we underestimating the Lib Dems? Not only are they popular they have popular policies too...votes are seeing them as an alternative to the major parties. They are likely to push further on the Environment, stealing climate conscious voters from other parties. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtdW...

Without fixing social care, this NHS plan could be the most expensive sticking plaster in history. It appears Labour are borrowing from the Conservative playbook - ignoring the social care crisis because it’s just too hard.

Lib Dems claim deeper trade deal with EU would raise £25bn of tax revenue www.theguardian.com/politics/202... #libdems

Piece by me on why the sudden departure of Reform chair Zia Yusuf is both symbolically important and could hamper Nigel Farage’s big project of Lib Dem-ising his party’s election machine. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"My fear is that Starmer stops there." Lib Dem leader Ed Davey welcomes the EU reset deal but stops short of backing a return to free movement. @maitlis.bsky.social | @jonsopel1.bsky.social

CITY AM: Lib Dems surge past Tories as party faces unprecedented crisis, raising questions about the future of leadership and the rise of a radical right alternative. - by Fonie Mitsopoulou

Lib Dems overtake the Tories in today's YouGov poll 🎉🎉

Lib Dems overtake the Tories in today's YouGov poll 🎉🎉

🚨 NEW: Conservative Party slumps to fourth behind Lib Dems, new poll shows Shadow foreign secretary Priti Patel said the new YouGov survey for Sky News/The Times is not “at all surprising” Full story ⤵️ www.politics.co.uk/news/2025/05...

Liberal Democrats won second in local elections (2nd-largest number of councillors elected, 2nd-largest gains, 2nd-largest vote share, 2nd-largest number and one of *only* two parties with councils in outright control) …Opinion polls are catching up with reality, as Lib Dems overtake failed Tories.

The most interesting thing about this advert is that Labour now feel the need to acknowledge Davey as a serious competitor. It suggests they believe the recent Lib Dem polling boost is real.

On #TransDayOfVisibility we celebrate trans people and stand with the trans community against hatred and discrimination. To all our trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming members, supporters, friends and followers: We respect you, we value you - today and every day.

Lib Dems take aim at Tory place as ‘party of Middle England’ in local elections

Still tone deaf then!

The UK must talk tough and not cower in the corner hoping that Donald Trump isn't mean to us. That starts by preparing for retaliatory tariffs and, in trade talks especially on services having other options on the table to show we're prepared to walk away. Daisy Cooper MP #bbcqt

Build HS2 to Manchester and HS3 to Leeds and Newcastle, then. Tinkering around the edges won't solve the fact that it took me 2.5hrs to get to Harrogate last Friday from Manchester compared to colleagues in London who took 3hrs. Typical crumbs for the North, patronising! @politlcsuk.bsky.social

Last night, I was proud to tell my story during a council debate on Violece Against Women & Girls. Domestic violence is a plague that affects long after the initial violence. I'm especially proud of @joshbabarinde.bsky.social work in Parliament to make domestic violence a criminal offence.

Why would you cut a popular, well running service? The price of Red/Blue failure for our health services is becoming a reality. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

Trafford Health tonight was grim. Cuts are on the way to our health & well-being services. Claiming the ICB cuts will be admin only will have implications for services that won't be able to function without the support they get currently. @alisonebennett.bsky.social @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social

Lib Dems sorting out the mess left behind by the Tories

Yesterday YouGov gave Lib Dems highest rating since Nov 2019. Today More in Common gives Lib Dems highest rating since they started polling. Which technically means it is true to say: BEST LIB DEM RESULT SINCE DINOSAURS ROAMED THE EARTH.*

"Lib Dems are nice people that actually do things for their community" the Tory leader has a problem with this why?

On LBC this morning, I spoke about why we should be far more worried the power Elon Musk is accruing, especially in light of his Open AI moves. The normalisation of his actions and activity by quite a bit of the US and even UK media is a big part of the problem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGnt...

I am seeing this first hand, 60p of every pound in council tax paid in most councils is being spent on social care, councils can't afford it! ❗ Daisy Cooper: "Our social care sector is on the brink of collapse" - www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2005...

🚨🚨 Characteristically astute analysis by David Gauke reflecting on how the recent interventions by Ed Davey and Kemi Badenoch suggests that the tide is turning against #brexit.🧵 www.newstatesman.com/comment/2025...

The radicalisation of the right is a danger to us all. The politisation of our legal structures should worry everyone. The foreign influence on our politics should anger us all. The descending nature of the Tory party, grabbing at hard/far right populist issues, is worrying.

Wishing Orthodox and Coptic Christian communities in the UK and across the world a happy Christmas today.

For some reason, I asked ChatGPT to give me the plot for the new James Bond film if the main character was cast as a Liberal Democrat politician. Chapeau to the AI. This is what it came up with...

PMQs: a mixed bag this week, for everyone. Are we going to be seeing a lot more noise about electoral reform this parliament, as Ed Davey and Nigel Farage make common cause? Yes. Yes we are. www.newstatesman.com/politics/the...
