We are the only non-populist party left standing. We are the only party that can defeat Reform. Join us, and fight to build our country up rather than tear it all down. 🔶🇬🇧

You won't hear it from the media, but the Liberal Democrats just had an incredible set of results. We held off Reform, won more councillors than the Greens and trounced the Conservatives Right cross the country people are backing us to deliver the real change they deserve. 🔶

🚨 BREAKING: the Communication Workers’ Union just voted to back Proportional Representation at its annual conference in Bournemouth @cwunews.bsky.social 📈 Trade unions representing three quarters of Labour affiliates now back PR 🎯 We need a National Commission on Electoral Reform

This story needs way more attention. Farage and his acolytes have repeatedly claimed his home was "firebombed", to justify the £5m secret donation given to the Reform leader by crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne But the police report of the incident is a burglary. There's no record of arson

Hornsey and Friern Barnet Labour MP Catherine West tells the BBC she’ll challenge Starmer on Monday if the cabinet doesn’t move against him. Bizarre claim. She says she has ten backers. Under Labour rules she needs 81.

Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice - stability and strong government with Proportional Representation, or chaos with First Past the Post.

In West Surrey. yesterday was a long and tiring day at the count - after a long and tiring campaign. However, the result was overall control for Liberal Democrats, with a comfortable majority - and my ward of Haslemere, I was elected. www10.surreycc.gov.uk/electionmap/...

😡🇬🇧😡🇬🇧😡🇬🇧😡🇬🇧 From Threads. This is what Nigel Farage and his Hatefest politics has allowed to happen. If Keir Starmer resigns, he will *claim* it as a direct ‘result’ Of his campaigning. For that reason alone, he must stay.

The obvious way for Labour to survive and even thrive against Britain's insanely biased right wing press: Have policies so loud and so brash that the RW media can never drown the message out. Like rejoining the EU. Like implementing PR.

Without minimising the dire results for Labour, it’s extraordinary how chipper the Tories are. They’ve lost 500 seats from a low watermark, lost historic major councils to Lib Dems and Reform, show no signs of recovery in the esp LD areas they need to win. But MPs seem to think it’s going well.

It's Europe Day! Today, we celebrate all that Europe stands for. And we celebrate all of us, the citizens of Europe. Because all together, we are Europe. Happy Europe Day!

Lib Dems HOLD Orkney Islands 🔶 Huge congratulations to Liam McArthur - re-elected with 70% of the vote. The largest share of the vote in a constituency in Holyrood history.

🔶 Lib Dems HOLD South Cambridgeshire, winning 43 out of 45 councillors.

Peter Taylor has been re-elected as Lib Dem mayor of Watford for his third term 🔶

Lib Dems HOLD St Albans, winning 19 Councillors 🔶

10 GAINS in Huntingdonshire make the Lib Dems the largest party, winning 20 Councillors. 🔶

Lib Dems gain 4 councillors to HOLD Winchester 🔶

The one thing that would reset the whole political debate would be if Keir Starmer announced on Monday that he wanted to rejoin the EU. Reform would have a field day, but he would unite the left and make politics a binary choice between the two.

This is incredibly funny because "Labour" and the Tories colluded to gerrymander Surrey to keep the Lib Dems out. They split Surrey into east and west, abolishing all the borough councils, and now *both* halves have emphatically elected the Lib Dems! election.news.sky.com/elections/en...

We're on course for more massive gains, taking control of both East and West Surrey councils! So proud of all our activists who have offered a positive alternative to Reform and delivered another set of record-breaking results.

Professor John Curtice says that voting shows the Green Party are doing more damage to the Labour Party than Reform

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough Thank you for being a friend to all animals and for helping the world to cherish us x

“Nigel Farage should be privately worried. In last year’s local elections Reform won 41 per cent of all seats contested across England. On the basis of the overnight figures, this year’s tally is around 33 per cent” Peter Kellner

The morning results have certainly perked us up in Portsmouth ☕️ 8 straight sets of local election gains!!! I couldn't be prouder. With 1 million conversations at these elections, we're taking on Farage's divisive politics by listening and standing up for our communities.

Very concerning. "Reform UK candidates standing in this week’s local elections appear to have posted racist and Islamophobic views on social media, as well as support for far-right figures like Tommy Robinson and Nick Griffin."

What a complete mess... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/reform-nigel-farage-councillors-quit-local-elections-b2971185.html

Britain's broadcast media boasts of its strict adherence to impartiality rules. Mentions per MP. LibDems: 645 Tories: 5,116 Greens: 7,763 Labour (the actual govt): 27,438 Reform: 70,732 Anyone surprised they're ahead? bebroadcast.co.uk/politics-who...

For a year-and-a-half, I've been attempting to get to the bottom of a photograph showing Nigel Farage posing with far-right activists. Our new investigation casts fresh doubts on Farage’s claim that he refuses to associate with extreme elements of the populist right bylinetimes.com/2026/05/06/r...

His closest aide sentenced to 10.5 years for spying for the Russians. Failing to disclose £5m donation and how he bought a house in Clacton. A decade of school antisemitism and racism. Cavorting with Neo Nazis and planning mass deportations. What is the media love about Farage?

Zack Polanski falsely claimed to be British Red Cross spokesperson, charity says

MPs demand Reform suspend candidate over claims he celebrated rape of Sikh women

Just heard self-centred hypocrite Nigel Farage on BBC News say that no British politician has been physically attacked more than him. An insult to the memory of Jo Cox and David Amess, both murdered.

Badenoch is not fit to lead a political party:

how could anyone believe such brainrot

Vote Lib Dem or ‘regret it’ living under a Reform council, Davey tells voters

23% approval for trump's abysmal handling of cost of living. IT. CAN. GO. LOWER!

The second Conservative candidate whose far-right posts I exposed has now been suspended. The party failed to respond when Byline Times first reported their posts last month

Today, we announced $270 million of new military support to Ukraine. Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Their cause — freedom, democracy, sovereignty — is our cause. Good to see President Zelenskyy today in Yerevan. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

The UK joining in the EU's €90bn Ukraine loan looks like it is on the verge of being agreed - good news both for Ukraine and EU-UK relations:

Absolutely 👏

Great to have some good NHS news to flag up 😊 ! www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Zelensky: Met with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer. We in Ukraine appreciate all the steps taken by the United Kingdom to support our people and weaken the aggressor, in particular in the fight against the Russian shadow fleet.

A thousand times, yes. Passionate, brilliant article, deriding Farage for the snake oil salesman that he is, and the damage he’s done; and making the case for being back in Europe where we belong. bylinetimes.com/2026/05/01/n...

Landed in Yerevan, Armenia, for the 8th European Political Community Summit. This is the first time a non-European nation has taken part. Bound by shared values, Canada is working with our European partners to create more certainty, security, and prosperity for all our peoples.

news.sky.com/share/13538922 Yes, @skynewsrss.bsky.social 🚫15% to win🚫 "This could potentially be the most fragmented local elections in recent history" "We've not really got a 2-party system now at all - and that's what First Past the Post was designed for" So: @makevotesmatter.bsky.social !!

A couple of senior Republicans have grasped that Trump cutting US troops in Germany benefits Putin.
