confident that "1.5 million uzbeks are eligible to be lap children" is a sentence that has never been uttered before in english

i love my party

Wishing Jewish communities across the UK a happy and sweet Rosh Hashanah. Shana Tova!

Pretty disgraceful for Mason to call Davey’s criticism Trumpian given his disastrous coverage of the Reform conference among other things. Maybe do your job better instead of shooting the messenger?

The era of "2015 election, '16 referendum, '17 election, '19 election, COVID interregnum, year of three PMs and 4 chancellors, 24 election" has a LOT to answer for: particularly that a big chunk of the political class & media coverage seems to have forgotten that... the business of governing IS news

It just straightforwardly *insane* how much political chatter in the United Kingdom is about the next general election, an event that is a long way in the future, and how basically none of it is about 'uh, this policy agenda doesn't look adequate to the scale of the inherited problem'.

remember when the same woman got hospitalised with severe dehydration and food poisoning and they made her discharge herself against medical advice so she could ride an elephant through the jungle. and then she had to pose for a photoshoot on top of an elephant in the middle of said jungle

Bit of insider news here; the gambling adverts are rationed per day, per channel, but if they mention their “gambling awareness policy” or “tools to help you stay in control” they don’t actually count as gambling adverts.

More and more people are turning to the Liberal Democrats and our positive vision. We are standing up for Britain as a decent and caring country, and taking on the divisive politics of Nigel Farage and the Conservatives. There is no limit to our ambition.

this is one of the funniest things i've ever read

Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine.   My statement: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

bold words from a GPEW member

I do not think that “conference exercises its long-standing and well established sovereign right to set the conference agenda by a 90%+ vote margin” is in any way a “row”.

Seeing some of the reactions to Lib Dem conference (which, so far, I think is a comms success for the party) and realising that a lot of people moan "what's the POINT of the Lib Dems?!?!" when they in fact mean "I disagree with the position they have in fact adopted"

Golden rule: KMT-TPP (never forget KMT alone doesn’t have a majority) can screw up as much as they want, at the end they’ll end up blaming the DPP (and a majority of KMT and TPP voters are fine with that)

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

it would be really funny if ao3 had a sort by controversial option

no end to the depths of my loathing for the british media

Very pleased to have summate this amendment today at #LDConf , and seeing this, the other two amendments and the motion as a whole passed with an overwhelming vote in favour! Thanks again to the work and supportfrom @libstemm.bsky.social ‘s Chair, Chris Lomax

Also pleased to announce @liberalreform.bsky.social and @youngliberalsuk.bsky.social emergency motion on the OSA has been selected by members for debate on Tuesday morning. Huge opportunity to make a statement that the OSA implementation is not working and the party is willing to ensure it does

crazy how many MLs claim to stan vietnam but seem to never have heard of đổi mới

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

Lib Dem Tim Farron MP tells party conference Reform UK "spent a lot of their time [at conference] giving a platform to people who think that the Covid vaccines gave the royal family cancer, to self confessed convicted racists, and worst of all, Lembit Opik"

bold words from a rightist deviationist and capitalist roader

please don't try and pit israel and vietnam against each other. we have great respect for bác hồ and the vietnamese resistance against western imperialism

For too long, weak regulation has let the gambling industry profit from addiction, debt, and family breakdown. Liberal Democrats will hold the gambling industry to account and put people before profits, so that gambling in the UK can be safe, fair, and free from harm.

yorp borked

Reassuring start to Lib Dem Conference as yet another attempt to hijack our values by a tiny handful of vicious bigot entryists was instantly rejected by a massive majority for about the thousandth time. Pushed heavily by the media, but transphobes have next to zero support in the Liberal Democrats.

a fourth faction has hit yorp

We have a system of justice which is secretive, known to be flawed and unfair, and week-by-week lands very vulnerable people with harsh criminal convictions And we have a government which is content for that to keep happening www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/t...

Man people on here get so weird about Sarah McBride

North Korea has removed nearly 2 dozen anti-aircraft artillery sites from around Yongbyon, possibly as part of a shift to a more modern air defense system. My latest for @nknewsorg.bsky.social

Rare proof of Galilee’s forgotten 4th-century Jewish Revolt revealed in hidden coin hoard https://www.timesofisrael.com/rare-proof-of-galilees-forgotten-4th-century-jewish-revolt-revealed-in-hidden-coin-hoard/

i can't think of a video i want to click on less

i don't even know what you're trying to say here. the calendar doesn't exist without the people. the jewish people are indisputably autochthonous to the land of israel, the place where our ethnogenesis occurred, and it's ridiculous to try and downplay/deny that?
