I asked Gemini AI to fact check an article about Katie Lam. It told me I was wrong to call her a Shadow Minister and she was a Tory and Labour were the opposition. Maybe not quite ready to take over the world yet

Trump's America

At a LD meeting on innovation and growth last night I was struck by how much support criticism of our slow and imaginative policy process is - and how concerned people were about our absence of anything interesting to say on the economy. Its why we need new blood on FPC

I am running for Federal Council on the basis of my experience - in 3 years it has only called in 2 things - both organised by me - Use of Non-Disclosure Agreements and Presidential election expenses

If you think the Lib Dems need our own Think Tank, Vote Simon McGrath for FPC

Is there anything better than a Lib Dem gain from Reform

Fantastic by election results last night - strong hold in Tunbridge Wells and GAIN from Reform in Bromsgrove. No sign of a Green surge either - their vote down in all but one contest

Traffic nightmare !!! 20 new homes. NIMBYism on steroids

There just is not enough popcorn www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Sometimes Karma is a wonderful thing

Great to get back from walking the dogs and find this has been delivered

Here is my manifesto for Federal Policy Cttee

I am really cross about the Tory Plan to deport millions of people and have written an article about it www.libdemvoice.org/from-now-on-...

We can expect a lot more of these sort of lies from Labour

we can expect to see a lot more of this sort of outright lying by Labour that 'only they' can stop Reform in the future.

What a lovely headline www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-...

I combined dog walking with delivering New Voter letters this morning and had a really good chat with a French map who was delighted to hear he could vote in next May's local elections and that he would have 3 Pro EU Lib Dems to vote for

Brilliant

Vote share changes in last week's by election - Lib Dem Plus 7.2%. Green Minus 3.4%. Greens lost 1 seat to Lib Dems. Seems like leaving NATO and wanting to break up the UK is not popular.

This is really really awful www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

A reminder that not using Jeremy Clarkson was among the ( many ) incompetencies of the Remain campaign

Great canvassing yesterday in Wimbledon Village: the last ward in Merton with 3 Tory Cllrs - that wont be the case after next May judging from yesterday

Allowing Councillors to take part in the Local Government Pension Scheme is an excellent idea - and important in enabling more people to consider becoming a Councillor www.local.gov.uk/about/news/c...

Really impressed that within 24 hours of Starmer announcing the return of ID cards, the Campaign Team at Lib Dem HQ had put together and sent out a full campaign pack

With Lib Dems about to start our Conference great to see that Ed Davey is the most popular Party Leader

Popcorn time

Great news ! www1.politicalbetting.com/index.php/ar...
