GCs are out in force in my timeline. Their inability to see beyond "there are only 2 sexes" is quite remarkable. They want to retrofit science and society to fit their own prejudices and can't even see they are doing it.

You know what? I don't care if Kristi Noem's husband cross-dresses. It looks like he only interacted with consenting adults. Seems much preferable to protecting paedophiles, terrorizing US citizens, using $$$$ of tax payer's money to advantage yourself and all the other stuff his wife did

surely even the idiot sycophants around Trump are going to realise at SOME point that he is not mentally capable of being president?

I've got a feeling this broke a day earlier. Got to be an April Fool!

It's Trans Day of Visibility, and it's time to update the Equality Act! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ We believe it should do what its drafters intended from the start. Sign our petition here 👇 lgbtlibdems.org.uk/civicrm/peti... #transrights #tdov #ea2010 #equalityact #LibDems

I understand why people are turning to the Green party in the hope of something better than Labour, just like they turned to Corbyn. But also just like Corbyn, the Green party can't deliver, because reality will get in the way (and their plans are sketchy at best). Cue even more disillusionment.

Residents across Wokingham have been hit hard by Thames Water bill increases, while the company continues to pump raw sewage into our rivers. This cannot continue. That’s why I’ve signed a Lib Dem motion calling for the Government’s Water White Paper to urgently reform England’s water industry.

all these GCs in my timeline going on in various ways about how there are only 2 sexes and stopping dangerous men going into women's spaces. Well, science contradicts the first, and yes, completely agree with the second - except the risk is overwhelmingly from hetero cis men not trans women!

Having a cold and hay fever at the same time is not fun

I am not a Labour voter but even so, I admire Gordon Brown. Not that good as PM, but seems like a very decent human being.

This is what GCs fail to understand, when they go on about their beliefs being protected. It is their beliefs that are protected, not their behaviour. They are not immune from the rules that everyone else has to follow.

L'etat, c'est moi

Well done Clive, curtailing juries is the wrong thing to do

So why don't we have bank notes which start with a picture of someone's nose on the £5, add a bit more of their face for £10 and so on all the way up to £50 when you get to see the whole of Frankenstein's monster?

why on earth does anyone think the King going to the US at the moment is a good idea?

Seems to me that right now would be a good time to invest in renewable energy

I don't think Trump is knowingly working for the Russians. It's just that his whole life has been about getting his own way, selfishness and greed, without a single thought about consequences because he's never had to face any. He thinks he controls reality and can do whatever he wants. So he does.

Uh oh looks like I may have triggered the snowflakes over at GB News ❄️

To mark International Women's Day, ALDC spoke to Cllr Samia Haq, Lib Dem Leader of Oadby and Wigston Borough Council about her journey, the importance of representation, and encouraging more women and people from minority communities to step into public life. www.aldc.org/2026/03/intern...

Happy International Women's Day. Today would be a good day for men to ask themselves whether they have done a good job being in charge of everything.

By now the US founding fathers must have rolled so much in their graves that they need re-interring.

A lot of Americans like to share their food on here. I'm sure it's tasty but I keep wondering why it looks strange. Today I realised. Almost no green on the plate. What happened to Green vegetables guys?

The Festival of Colour brings light and festivities to many communities in the UK and around the world, and I’d like to wish everyone celebrating a happy and joyous Holi.

Hegseth is treating this war like a video game. Real people have died. He should be regretting that, not celebrating that the US can obliterate whoever it likes through force. This isn't Hollywood.

It’s time to change FPTP voting system in the U.K.

I know many people are worried about the Government’s new “earned settlement” rules and what it means for them and their families, especially if the rules are changed for people already living here. That’s why I have signed this letter to the Government alongside other Lib Dem MPs.

Wokingham Town Council put on a wonderful celebration to ring in the New Lunar New Year yesterday, and I was delighted to celebrate alongside residents and Lib Dem councillors including Andy Ng. I’d like to wish a happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate – Kung Hei Fat Choy.

look, is it just me, but does $400 million for a ballroom seem just a bit expensive? How many elementary schools could you build or refurbish for the same money?

I wonder if the Americans who are pro bombing Iran have ever considered how they would react if Iran bombed them. Maybe they have, but just don't consider any nation should have any rights but theirs?

well I guess all the Commonwealth and Irish citizens won't be voting for Reform then

I still try to avoid Tesco because of Dame Shirley Porter

The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President.

Ffs. Being reported that genes show male Neanderthals mated with female home sapiens, not other way round, because women found Neanderthals attractive. Have these people never heard of rape?

don't think Ann Coulter thought that through. George Washington wouldn't have qualified under her rules.

'The public want to know why the former Prince Andrew was appointed to this very privileged position' Lib Dem leader Ed Davey tells #BBCBreakfast why they will call in Parliament for documents to be released on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's appointment as a UK trade envoy

Reform is threatening to deport all sorts of people they don't consider "British" or should have a right to be here, and this is being supported by people who come into that category but are members of Reform. What is the matter with Braverman and Yusuf? Are they just useful idiots to Faraga?

not sure what to make of the Schools white paper. It seems like it is going to change everything, until you read the detail, when it becomes really unclear how they are going to do any of it in practice.

took me a moment.....

I suppose we ought to be grateful that Robert Kennedy Jr thinks germs are a thing.

Laptop has gone in to get bigger C drive and more RAM. Feel like that man in the TV ad pining for his dog to come back from the vet

Yes. That is a cottage pie. A Shepherds pie is made with lamb. In UK anyway. But enjoy! Both ate good

I wonder how Manchester United 's foreign-born players are feeling this morning?

How can vetting be considered vetting if it relies on the word of the person being vetted? Are our security services so antiquated that they think we are living in the Victorian era when a gentleman's word was all you needed? Or is it that they have no resources to investigate anyone properly?

I'm sorry, what?

what would be really useful would be to have two words for "we". One which means "us including you" and one which means "us not including you". So if you tell someone "we are going on holiday" it would be clear to them whether you meant they were coming with you or not

McSweeney = Cummings.

So I have a question? Does anywhere other than the US go in for covered bridges?

To all the Americans posting their food choices here: It's like everything has to go one step more in terms of colour, calories, taste, sugar and sauce. Please tell me some of you are happy with a lamb chop or a piece of bread and cheese.......

Most expensive car park ever? £600,000 project resulted in the opening of eight car parking spaces - six of which are reserved for senior officials. The decision to charge more junior staff has been proposed within Reform plans to raise £1 million per year
