The attempts by a handful of unelected peers to block the settled will of the House of Commons, and the expressed will of the public over assisted dying leads us into a difficult constitutional position.

Today is the first day of LGBT History Month LGBT+ people have always been part of our societies, but often their stories are hidden and go untold. This month is an opportunity to celebrate those stories and continue to campaign for progress.

"We honour the trailblazers who came before and stand with the next generation as they push for a fairer future. Our message is unwavering: you belong, your history matters, and we will continue fighting until everyone is truly free to be who they are." -Ed Davey www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

Just remember that both Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman believe the world benefits from Trump's leadership. The Epstein Files are riddled with Trump's name.

Bets on "I've got dementia" being his excuse for not going to trial.

Great action day out with @ollyglover.bsky.social working hard all year round! 🔶🔶🔶

What the heck are ICE doing in Italy? Their role is supposed to be related to protecting the US border & dealing with immigration … 4000 miles away Am I the only one confused by this?

"each and every death is a loss beyond words or measure." With that in mind, Appleby's "report" claiming only 6 deaths looks like an attempt to cover up bad news. And, as i told the PM a couple of weeks ago, making trans healthcare difficult or illegal to access doesn't stop people being trans.

A Jenkinsite case for welcoming #OneNationConservatives, on #liberal terms. The argument is simple: welcome the break from culture-war #politics, and be clear about the settlement: the rule of law, equal dignity, civil liberties, and a social-market approach to dispersing power.

Lib Dems win the only UK by-election yesterday Bearsden South in Scotland under multi-stage alternative vote system INTERESTING: The Labour vote dropped out on stage 4 mostly transferring to Lib Dem not Greens HT @electionmaps.uk

The @libdemvoice.org piece introducing the Jenkinsite Group has just been published! It was submitted last week, so the membership count is slightly out of date (it says we have 94 members, but we're currently at 119). It's great to see the group launch into the wider Lib Dem family!

Somehow Gorton & Denton makes me think of Dandelion and Burdock.

The arguments for and against a social media ban for under-16s offer a philosophical challenge for liberals, and @jackmeredithwrites.bsky.social outlines some of the evidence for and against… www.libdemvoice.org/ofcom-has-fa...

Reform UK is supportive of Donald Trump's blackshirts, aka, ICE. ICE Operations have included executing citizens in broad daylight. Nigel Farage believes we should relax Britain's gun laws. For the love of God, please, do not let this man near power.

#Reform has 8 #MPs and has been mentioned by nearly every major #newspaper and #news station. #LibDems have 72 MPs, and barely get any coverage. Why on earth is Reform getting so much official coverage? They've got fewer members than it takes to form a #uni #society!

Frightening. Vaccines should be a no brainer. Seems we’re not just susceptible to disease, but misinformation and out right lies

And quite right too! @libdems.org.uk

ICE having a melt down. #timeforabigpush

There's always a tweet

Suella Braverman has defected to #Reform. The surprise isn't who left; it's when. Kemi Badenoch promised "no more drama", but the defections keep coming. Which raises a serious question: if #Braverman is leaving, what is the #Conservative Party for?

Every masterpiece has its cheap imitation #Reform #JDVance #NigelFarage #SuellaBraverman #ErikaKirk #politics

If it’s Monday, it must be time for Mathew Hulbert’s look back at the events of the past week, featuring local elections postponement, prospects for the Tories and congratulations to Liberal Democrats in North Cotswolds… www.libdemvoice.org/mathew-on-mo...

Last year's autumn budget let down families & businesses If this government was serious about economic growth, they'd follow Lib Dem policies on energy bills - not just three years of support, but a plan to halve bills by 2035. I'll keep fighting to bring down electricity costs across our community

On today’s doorstep: “It’s just not the same anymore… we give them all our money, it should be for our own. They don’t speak English.” Me ”People come because they DO speak English.” Both mother, who said this, and her daughter, whom I know vaguely through dogs had the decency to look embarrassed.

Yes NATO No PEDO

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk has the right idea, but I disagree with calling them "war bonds". Doing so implies a permanent state of emergency politics, and romanticises war. I believe wording matters, even more so in this case, which is why this should be a "Defence Resilience Bonds" scheme.

The Jenkinsite Group is now on #Substack! Please consider subscribing if you are #ProEU, #liberal, #socialdemocratic, #internationalist, and a believer in #fairness and #equality.

Our country faces a grave threat from Farage and Reform, backed by the Conservatives. The Lib Dems have a moral responsibility to win more elections than ever before to protect and serve British people.

45 years today, four politicians came together to change #British politics. David Owen, Bill Rodgers, Shirley Williams and Roy Jenkins came together to form what was initially the Council for #SocialDemocracy, later becoming the Social Democratic Party (SDP). (1/3) #PoliticalHistory

Let all ICE agents - and all federal or any other officials who enable their actions and impunity - know that at some point in the future they will be held to account, under the law, for their actions today.

Execution in the streets! I’m sorry but I watched the video and a few minutes later found myself crying.

Even Gemini thinks the US is descending into fascism: "An exhaustive analysis of the current U.S. government’s behavior against the theoretical and historical benchmarks of fascism reveals a high degree of correlation." At what point are we prepared stop making excuses and say what is happening?

A question I would quite like #LibDems Foreign Affairs spokesperson @calummillerld.bsky.social to ask the Foreign Secretary is why the Foreign Office Travel Guidance hasn't been updated for the USA in light of the paramilitary death squads attacking anyone who is or looks foreign in US cities.

12 days on from this conversation with @libdemalex86.bsky.social, The Jenkinsite Group exists and it has 94 members. To my fellow #LibDems - join us. #Liberal #SocialDemocrat #RoyJenkins #Jenkinsite #LiberalDemocrats The group: www.facebook.com/groups/98719...

Reform’s policy to scrap ILR would deport pensioners, including army veterans like the Gurkhas. Farage’s only response when challenged… “why should they get pensions” Because they paid into the system and served their country Nigel - that’s how it works.

What on earth is Orban's country doing in the EU other than olding it back whilst leaning towards Putin?

@vikkislademp.bsky.social, once again not shirking from difficult issues and standing up for our troops, past and present as well as our international responsibilities and alliances.

Brexit is a confidence trick. Let’s bring the fraudsters to justice and let’s apply to #ReJoinEU

Policing is a trust and information business. To be effective, it needs the public to tell it what they know, and it needs to then interpret and act on that information.

The police need intelligence to be effective. Which means relationships with the community. But government's tendency to centralise, both within and between police forces, damages these relationships.
