I am so proud of our whole team of 72 Liberal Democrat MPs - working tirelessly to deliver real change and stand up for our communities. Today I've expanded our frontbench team to take the fight to Nigel Farage and stop him turning Britain into a version of Trump’s America.

While Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are puffing themselves up in front of the U.S. military leaders at Quantico, I would like to remind everyone of an important historical detail: “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

In a speech with many great parts, this is my favourite. Do you hear that Farage? He means you. We've had enough of you. Enough of Reform. Enough of the Johnson's, the Truss', the failed Tories who caused chaos. No more lectures from you. Labour is, and always has been, the patriotic party!

Snowflake. Farage doesn’t like to be held to account for his racist policies, his divisive rhetoric and his grifter politics - well bad luck because there is lots more to come www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

"I hope Starmer wakes up tomorrow morning and feels ashamed about what he has done," says man who unveiled this poster the day Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right terrorist.

Starmer: “Controlling migration is a reasonable goal- but if you throw bricks and smash up private property that is thuggery…if you incite violence that’s criminal…if you graffiti on a Chinese takeaway telling them to go home, that’s not pride that’s racism.”

Hugged a self-described racist jailed for inciting racial hatred at his party conference. Threatened to ‘don khaki’ in the event of Brexit being frustrated. Disseminated the racist lies of an alleged rapist & stayed silent as racists responded by setting fire to buildings full of foreigners.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

If, like us, you're frustrated with inauthentic vapid MSM - -then do back the Bylines Network to bring a new type of grassroots media into the landscape, with monthly 300,000-400,000 article reads & millions of social media + search engine impressions. 💪

Seeing him and the conference finally rise to this is quite something. You can see the surge of confidence in the speech as he realises, hey basic antiracist rhetoric is popular and I believe it too! Glad the message has sunk in.

Look at that huge jump in Trump's wealth in 2025. Americans can't afford groceries or health care. But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Unlike Farage, we're proud of Britain. Britain has problems that need fixing, but we must never forget our strengths, our people and our values. They are what make this country special.🇬🇧

Moldova's ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) has secured 55 out of 101 parliament seats. In a country haunted by Soviet memory and threatened by Russian influence, ordinary voters chose the path toward Europe.

‘So the rumours are true … time to ask some serious questions about Reform and Russia’ My column on Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales, admitting taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia while a member of the European Parliament www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Reform can win the next election on around 30% of the vote. Starmer clearly hopes that most people will vote tactically to keep Reform out so that Labour wins on around 30% of the vote. Risky and cynical. We need #PR BEFORE the next election!

Here is Nathan Gill in 2014 blaming the EU for Russia advancing on Ukraine Nathan Gill pled guilty to accepting bribes from Russia to promote a pro Russia anti EU position He started in UKIP, joined the Brexit Party, then Reform UK Here's what he said at the European Parliament

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social: "Nigel Farage wants an insurance-based system for the NHS." "That's a system that would check your pockets before your pulse."

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

The ECHR is essential to safeguarding the Good Friday Agreement but Nigel Farage wants to walk away from it. 🚨 Hilary Benn MP: "I cannot think of anything more irresponsible. It's wrong, it's reckless, and we've got to make sure it never happens."

I’ve seen despair at the Labour conference, but Starmer’s battle for Britain’s soul is one he can still win | Polly Toynbee

Reform ‘proudly embracing’ anti-abortion politics as experts warn issue faces US-style politicisation in UK

Imagine the Trump-inspired country Farage wants for Britain. No NHS, huge insurance bills, people denied care. That’s Trump’s America. Don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

Promotion of Self-harm, grooming and sexual exploitation is all happening on Elon Musk’s watch. He must be held criminally liable.

In her Labour conference speech, Chancellor Reeves announced that the Government has so far recovered nearly £400m of funds from Covid fraud, and launched a new "hit squad" to investigate and recover money from fraudsters who exploited government contracts

The Liberal Democrats are calling on the Intelligence and Security Committee to launch a new probe investigating Russian interference in British politics, after Reform’s former leader in Wales Nathan Gill admitted to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia

Former Brexit Party Member of Parliament Nathan Gill has confessed to making pro-Russia statements in exchange for money. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

‘Who said he’s as honest as the day is long?’ @mrjamesob.bsky.social poses a question about Reform’s ex-leader in Wales, who admitted making pro-Russian statements to the EU Parliament for cash.

Zia Yusuf says that Nigel Farage can't be held accountable for Nathan Gill who was a UKIP MEP and Reform's Welsh leader for taking Russian bribes Gill served alongside Farage as an MEP between 2014 to 2020 He initially represented UKIP and later joined Farage's Brexit Party in 2019

I'm sure Calgie, Cole, Pogrund, Swinford, Wickham, Hodges, Riley-Smith, and Hope are ALL OVER IT. <waits> <waits more> <reads story on donkey field> <waits> <has wotsit sandwich> <waits more>

I’ve made allies, friends and connections that I’ll always treasure there - but when a platform rewards homophobia, racism and abuse with visibility and cold hard cash, then it’s time for me to go. My time being complicit is done.

Yvette Cooper: "While we are standing up to Putin, Farage calls him the leader he most admires. "While we are strengthening the NATO alliance, they trot out Russian propaganda claiming NATO caused the war "While we opened our hearts & homes to Ukrainian children, their policy is to turn them away"

"We should not cut young people off from opportunities that my generation took for granted." Standing ovation for Reeves promising "as well as making it easier to trade with Europe," to secure "maximum economic and cultural opportunities through an ambitious agreement on youth mobility." ~AA #Lab25

Moldova’s vote is a clear yes to a European future. Despite Russia’s massive efforts to spread disinformation and buy votes, no force can stop a people committed to freedom. We stand with Moldova on their path to the EU.

🇲🇩🗳️ With almost 100% of the ballots counted it is clear: A landslide victory for the ruling Party for Action and Solidarity (PAS) of president Maia Sandu. PAS wins between 54 and 56 seats in parliament (out of total of 101). #moldova #alegeriparlamentare2025

Tried to persuade my mum and sister to get their UK citizenship over lunch (both on settled status). They both couldn't believe there would be a risk, and that they've been here for 50+ years. Even though they admit Farage said what he said, they couldn't take it seriously. I think they should.

The major political parties, broadcasters, and institutions should all leave X. It's an extremely dangerous disinformation machine, and staying there only legitimises it and the chaotic agenda of the richest man in the world. Who is a raving fucking lunatic. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Back our petition against Labour's Mandatory Digital ID: www.libdems.org.uk/NoDigitalID

Imagine if the Government devoted this much money and focus on getting waiting times down, or fixing care, instead of pursuing Labour’s decades long obsession with ID cards and state control. We will fight this mandatory scheme tooth and nail - just as we successfully did against Blair’s ID cards.
