I wonder what advice the Foreign Office would give to trans people visiting the United Kingdom? I'd say there is more or less zero prospect of the police here taking action.

Sarah Everard was murdered five years ago today.

Brits living in Dubai are not doing a lot to disabuse us all of the notion they are a bunch of unmitigated arseholes are they?

Was feeling really tired, after an active morning. Crashed. Listening to Tom Swarbrick going mental st @eddavey.libdems.org.uk over tax redistribution and well, I’m back in the game lads

Got a green in my mentions telling me to leave the lib dems because I'm criticising the leadership and... it's part of lib dem culture to criticise the leadership. And I've read the greens' membership code of conduct. Couldn't do this as a green. Now I can understand that not everybody looks on...

Guys. I’m proper WARM.

Darren Jones as Starmer's Chief Secretary making the government's position clear: we're caught between the shattered remains of international law, British interests, and fealty to an increasingly deranged Donald Trump as he transforms the US from global policeman to global hit man.

Keir Starmer refused in the Commons yesterday to agree to a parliamentary vote on UK military action over Iran. He said this “convention” applies only to “offensive” not “defensive” use of force. 😂

Donald Trump just became the first US Commander in Chief since 1991 to have three American fighter jets shot down by another country… and somehow, it wasn’t even an enemy.

Ed Davey, "We rightly expect our armed forces to protect British citizens around the world in crisis like this" "But that includes tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes here"

Feels like yesterday when I saw all this play out before. Has Trump shouted Shock and Awe yet? Sigh!

It is because of people like president trump I am unable to be a pacifist

The implicit argument of so much of this stuff is that there is no legitimate role for Muslims in public life.

Following in the footsteps of the much missed Charles Kennedy.

Considering the number of international laws Labour has broken or threatened to rewrite I am going out on a limb to say it is a tough call to say that Starmer has a "blind obedience to international law", even by the Telegraph's standards.

I think most people’s enjoyment of Mad Men is directly correlated to how much they want Don Draper to be a likable character

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey: "Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

“Moved to Dubai for tax shelter and now I’m in a bomb shelter,” says someone quoted in the FT. UK Inland Revenue and wealth tax proponents glued to their screens...

Aside from anything else, Noel Gallagher absolutely does not have ‘broad taste in music’. I don’t even think he likes all of REVOLVER.

The Home Secretary is chasing Reform to get headlines while failing on the bigger problems of dangerous small boat crossings and use of hotels. This measure is a red herring that will only add more bureaucracy - which they won’t be able to cope with! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The UK says Iran must “never” acquire nuclear weapons. But Britain helped Israel develop nuclear arms several decades ago and in effect supports its nuclear force now by supplying equipment for its submarines. www.declassifieduk.org/britain-is-a...

As a Liberal Democrat warning against Labour backing Middle East intervention *the first time* - I am so tired, immune to being gaslit the first time round. In 2026 will be different in that we know the public is against this position and we can be even bolder in calling this out.

That sound you hear is irony dying.

One Week till I see him 😭

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

You've killed Ayatollah Khameini, the leader of a theocracy, in the middle of Ramadan........

Leeds fans booed stopping the match for those fasting for Ramadan? I know their fanbase can be annoying but holy shit. Not really surprised because Man United fans booed last season

So... we're sending more missiles to Israel but NOT Ukraine? I support a free, democratic and SECULAR Israel- but they don't need more weapons Ukraine does- and could end that war *Also, if Biden or Harris were prez, this would be the time they could force Netanyahu into a corner Trump won't
