🔴 Reform UK’s Crypto Donations Put Under Spotlight as Experts Warn It’s ‘Impossible to Trace’ Foreign Cash Anti-corruption campaigners raise the alarm over loopholes that could allow large sums of untraceable money to slip past checks bylinetimes.com/2025/09/26/r...

As a lifelong Guardian reader I'm heartily sick of their undermining of Labour and their boosting of Farage. @kiranstacey.bsky.social Example below. Headline half true And fixed.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

Tice knows nothing about pharmaceuticals.

Precisely. Can we trust future governments with this level of control?

Digital ID? Liberal Democrats cannot support mandatory digital IDs People shouldn't be criminalised just because they don't want to hand over their private data

BREAKING: Lib Dems say they 'cannot support a mandatory digital ID'

Nigel Farage claims his mass deportation plan would save the UK hundreds of billions of pounds over the coming decades. New analysis of official statistics, forecasts and Reform's own figures suggests it would actually *cost* the UK hundreds of billions over the same period

If you are fed up with the two old parties letting you down. If you are scared of the rise of racism and extremism. If you believe in decency, tolerance and the rule of law. Join us. Because we believe in the British people. We love our country. And together, we can change it for good.

Millions of people are still trapped in England’s broken leasehold system - overcharged and powerless. And nearly a decade after Grenfell, the cladding crisis continues, rogue developers exploit loopholes, and government reforms have failed to deliver real change.

I'll have more to say on Reform's proposals to scrap ILR at some point but for now I'll just note this - anyone telling you this is a popular idea doesn't know the polling. Overwhelming majority of public back giving people who work and pay taxes most or all rights after 5 years or less

Imagine spending years proving you belong here, paying thousands, following every rule - only for Nigel Farage to threaten to tear up your status. This is not policy - it’s cruelty, it’s showmanship, and I for one, am sick to the damned back teeth of it.

It's a huge mistake by Labour to rule out electoral reform. This was probably the only change they had to prevent FPTP from being leveraged by authoritarianism in the UK.

Our plan will restore Britain’s place as a trusted European partner and boost our defence and economy – increasing trade, strengthening security, and unlocking new opportunities for people and businesses. Read more from @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

Nearly five years on, the Conservatives’ botched Brexit deal continues to hold back British people, businesses and our economy. While Labour’s recent ‘Reset Summit’ made some progress, it lacked the ambition needed to rebuild our economic and security partnership with Europe.

Finally, somebody speaks the truth. 🙏

I'm seeing a lot of adverts for Jumpspeak. Had anyone tried it? Is it any good? Any other recommended language apps?

A trip to Tesco, and an encounter with Reform supporters By Jeremy Hoad on Facebook www.facebook.com/share/p/1DEZ...

👏👏 Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has told Sir Keir Starmer it is “time to look at rejoining” the EU to ease the country’s economic woes and get a grip on small boat crisis. Kinnock, led Labour 1983 to 1992, said UK could no longer afford the “huge self-inflicted losses” created by leaving EU

I want to ask if we can join the EU. Please?

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Farage has resorted to threatening to sue people who talk about his Stamp Duty avoidance via his girlfriend suddenly finding £885,000 out of thin air to buy a house. Let’s keep talking about it, he can’t get away with his corruption & threats will not work! #NigelFarage

Didn't Reagan have an idea much like that when his dementia was getting worse?

Not that it's my news to announce but back in July 2024, the new Government promised 2 million extra NHS appointments by now. To date they've notched up more than 5 million. Bet you won't hear that on the BBC any time soon.

Don't know about anyone else, but for me Ed Davey is turning into something of a national treasure.

I’m old enough to remember when Conservative Party leaders believed in law and order.

BBC promoting Reform as the 3rd party again In reality, Lib Dems are the 3rd party and Reform are the 7th party

I seem to recall the right storming the Capitol on January 6th and beating police officers with the U.S. flag.

They had kids, too.

Charlie Kirk was the 18,533rd American shot and killed in 2025. Why is he the only one people are talking about? What about the 18,532 before him? What about the roughly 400 hundred who were shot and killed since then? Does anyone know any of their names?

Buttigieg: "We are not getting the leadership we need to bring this country together from the White House ... in order to deprive political violence of its power, we have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence. The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down."

The far-right mob in London paled into insignificance compared to our Remain marches. Especially the one in 2018. Between 700,000 and a million people turned out. The Labour front bench stayed away. They also ignored its message. But the voters who took part in it haven't disappeared. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Tenk at vi er her. Igjen.

I bring you the beauty and culture of Ukraine. I show you what I see and share what I learn. Thank you for listening. Not everyone can.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

When 100k far-right supporters march through London it's all over the news. When 1.5m marched, also in London, for a new #PeoplesVote we had to bring our own TV screens. #Brexit

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law. These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

This post that a friend of my partner's shared on FB potentially explains the Kristin Chenoweth thing, and is frightening.

"Farage said Brexit would fix our borders — instead, it’s made things worse.” @MaxWilkinson.bsky.social

The whole flag thing in the UK is just dogs pissing on lamp posts to claim their territory.

It might be a hot topic, but the amount of misinformation & ignorance about immigration & visas is staggering. As a fmr 🇦🇺 Family Migration Officer & part of a 🇩🇪🇬🇧 family, I was particularly happy to find this video. It explains spouse migration. Because spouses 'can't just come & live in the UK'.

Amazing how we couldn’t do what Brazil did: Bolsonaro Sentenced to 27 Years in Prison for Plotting Coup www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/w...

This is how you protect your democracy. The US is a demonstration of what happens when you don't. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Throw the book at whoever killed Charlie Kirk—no matter who it is. And throw the book at whoever helped enable what Jeffrey Epstein was doing or profited from it personally, professionally, or financially—no matter who it is. I’m a rule of law guy, like any responsible citizen.
