Please @lisanandymp.bsky.social can you identify for me when anybody voted to leave the Customs Union? EU yes (marginally) but single market or customs union was never on a ballot and in fact Brexiteers suggest we would remain in those institutions. If just 2% had been swayed by this misinformation…

Oh. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Donald Trump is taking money away from our hospitals & GP surgeries, and Nigel Farage is cheering him on. We can't let Trump get away with extortion like this, Parliament must be given a chance to vote this deal down.

The OBR is run independently from Government. It literally was somebody else's fault. You'd think Kemi Badenoch would know that given her own party created it in Government, but apparently not

I love @classicfm.com and I love Christmas carols, but on Thursday afternoon I had to turn off ‘White Christmas’ and this afternoon I had to turn off ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’ - it’s one of my favourites, but NOT in November - please, no, no, No!

Less than a minute into the budget and Rachel Reaves uses that disgusting phrase ‘brightest and best’. Presumably these are not the people who keep our health service and social care going. These are the people to who I am grateful

You have to feel sorry for all those MPs who can’t believe their luck to be called in what is normally a PMQs with a huge audience watching BBC 2 for the budget only to find that BBC2 abandoned PMQs immediately after the LOTO’s questions to discuss the budget which has not yet happened.

Who remembers that Brexit campaign slogan from 2016? 🤔

Nathan Gill has been sentenced to 10.5 years for endangering national security and taking Russian bribes. Nigel Farage and Reform are a danger to national security, the Liberal Democrats will continue to hold them to account and defend our democracy.

www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n.... This is weird. Maybe, just maybe some anti- loony right bias got through but this is surely insignificant compared to the worship of of the right by episodes of Kuenssberg and Question Time which only occasionally fail to feature a Reform panel member'.

What do five former HMI think of Ofsted's new school inspection framework? This chat reveals some positives but quite a few negatives. With the launch tomorrow, we hope it proves helpful for schools and inspectors. Let us know what you think. youtu.be/ZTV5dK13UpM

🚨 Brexit was sold on sovereignty. No one said 1,500 people a year would die. Time to rejoin. #Rejoin #BrexitReality #NHS

This is brilliant!

Gotta love Private Eye. Always cuts through the crap.

The Chancellor is blaming Brexit for the mess we're in but not making the changes needed to fix it, can you really call that a strategy?

political pressure to deal with illegal migration across the Channel is real. But a policy of redefining millions of people’s neighbours, friends and family as illegal migrants … should disqualify the party proposing it from debate in a civilised democracy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Here’s a thought. In 1975? 67% of voters supported continued membership in the European Economic Community (EEC), reflecting significant public backing for the UK's role in Europe. By 1994, the Referendum Party was campaigning for another referendum. Therefore, the Brexit promoters have

Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick. At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division. The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.

The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

This is the kind of thing Kemi Badenoch apparently wants to emulate in the UK...

An expert in the Tory party speaks...

Not to make light of the editorial failure, but look how far Twitter lies now permeate in to normal discourse. We think we know about the racism but the utter contempt for truth since Musk bought the platform is deliberate & very dangerous. You can’t foment racism with fact checkers in the building.

BBC: "we have taken the episode off BBC iPlayer while we edit the relevant section out. We apologise for this unintentional editorial oversight."

Doing Putin’s bidding? That is Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain. We need a new inquiry by the Intelligence and Security Committee into Reform and Farage's links to Russia.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

How is this not front page news? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Long term colleague of Nigel Farage and Former Leader of Reform UK in Wales Ex-Reform politician admits Russia-linked bribery charges www.bbc.com/news/article...

I am so pleased that the UK leaders of my Church (Salvation Army) signed the letter from church leaders condemning the misuse of Christian symbols at the Tommy Robinson rally in London a couple of weeks ago. .

Nigel Farage wants to drag Britain down the same road as Trump’s America: chaos, division and fear. Our NHS, our rights and our communities are at risk. Do not let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

Ed Davey, "It's so frustrating, so infuriating that Nigel Farage gets such an easy ride from the media" "As he lies, as he divides, the BBC and others given Farage so much time and attention" "But they never hold him to account for all the damage he has already done" "The damage of Brexit"

Don’t let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain. Where gun laws are rolled back, and schools have to teach children what to do in case of a mass shooting.

Ed Davey, "Nigel Farage is on the side of Elon Musk, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump" "The LibDems are on the side of the British people" "Unlike Farage I love Britain, I'm proud of our country"

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

More and more people are turning to the Liberal Democrats and our positive vision. We are standing up for Britain as a decent and caring country, and taking on the divisive politics of Nigel Farage and the Conservatives. There is no limit to our ambition.

Donald Trump is in the UK for his second state visit. We spoke to protesters at the “Trump not welcome” rally to hear their thoughts on the US president. Take a look.

Elon Musk is a deeply irresponsible man and all party leaders should call him out.

A new law could give millions of us better rights at work, but corporate lobbyists & politicians are trying to gut it. Tell the Government: protect workers, not profits! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/uk...

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey: “I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. “As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.”

Politicians from all parties must come together to condemn Elon Musk’s dangerous call for violence and make clear it has no place in our country.
