Imagine being triggered by Pride.

Disgraceful performance today.

One way or another, Farage and Reform are compromised.

The transition to secure, green and affordable energy requires action nationally, regionally and locally - and that's where community energy comes in. Lib Dems are calling for communities to have the power to buy and sell energy locally, and to benefit fairly when they host renewable infrastructure.

179 British soldiers died in Iraq, either because Blair lied, or genuinely imagined a god telling him to invade... which is even worse. Today the Tony Blair Institute is financially linked to Trump mega-donor Larry Ellison. No reasonable person would attribute credibility to a word he says. (1/3)

Suffering the heat this spring? Here's a reminder that the climate will never be more stable than this in your lifetime. It only gets worse from here. More deaths, more failed crops, more fires and more floods. An immediate global energy transition is an emergency.

A colleague regularly visits Moscow and is married to a woman described by MI5 as a Russian spy. A former associate is serving 10 years in prison for acting on Russian bribes. He hasn't explained meeting with Alexander Yakovenko at the Russian Embassy. Farage has given them every opportunity.

Recently I sat down with Mandy Garner to discuss the failure of the press regulator, to hold the printed press to account. IPSO should either step up, or stand down. This documentary was produced following our discussion.

This evening the Liberal Democrats will proudly force a vote on a new Customs Union with the EU. It is time to free ourselves of the annual £100bn economic burden that leaving is costing the UK. Every day we delay, hits working families in the wallet. Ask your MP to back the Lib Dems this evening.

The hidden cost of populism.

This is sensational.

I warned the government in September that its business taxation was crippling Tewkesbury's hospitality sector. Eight months on, pubs and breweries in my constituency have closed. If the government doesn't change course. I expect to be back with an updated list.

There is no greater mechanism to generate economic growth, available to this government, than a Customs Union with the EU.

There's tone deafness, there's denialism, and then there's whatever the hell this is.

Loved being welcomed to 2324 (Innsworth) Squadron Air Training Corps this evening. Congratulations to all of the cadets, and thank you to the committee, staff and volunteers who provide such great opportunities to our enthusiastic youngsters. Per ardua! 💫

Tewkesbury, the final frontier! 👨🏽‍🚀 Thank you to @airbus.com for beaming themselves up to Tewkesbury Academy this morning with their Mars Rover, so that Gloucestershire's younglings could get inspired for the future. 🛸 To infinity and beyond! 🚀

Months spent trying to get important meetings with ministers, and two of them have resigned only a week out. This government is giving its detractors everything they could dream of.

Today is Sir David Attenborough's one hundredth birthday, and my life would not have been the same without him. As we thank him for his lifetime of dedication to the natural world and its preservation, do you have any prevailing memories from across his incredible career?

Worth mentioning - frequently - that the spike in shoplifting over the last decade was caused, in part, by Conservative policies. 2014 Anti-Social Behaviour Act required that theft of goods valued at £200 or less be treated as a summary offence. That low threshold led to police not attending scene

This was hard to read, from Reni Eddo-Lodge.

🔶 LIB DEM WIN - CUTTING YOUR BILLS ✂️ The Government has finally listened to Ed Davey and announced they will break the link between gas prices and electricity prices. Electricity from solar or wind is now much cheaper than gas. But people aren’t seeing the benefit of cheap renewable power.

This week I gave an interview to Ukrainian journalist Taras Mokliak, regarding the effectiveness of Western sanctions on Russia. This is the article he produced.

Every day in our country, 22 women are diagnosed with Lobular Breast Cancer. Not statistics, but friends, colleagues and loved ones. It is evasive of traditional screening, it is resistant to traditional treatment. This must be the government which delivers hope to patients and their families. 💜

When it inevitably becomes about immigrants.

Not every MP is likely to be this helpful.

Just read Kevin Danso has been receiving racist abuse since yesterday. One mistake. He's been great for Spurs in those inconsistent opportunities he's had, and has twice the heart of a certain Argentine fraud. If you're giving Kevin racist abuse, you can fuck yourself and fuck off out of the club.

XAAAAAAAAAVVVIIIIIIIII!

No10’s account is incredible. I held Developed Vetting for nearly ten years and spent three years at the heart of the Cabinet Office. I have never heard of a Developed Vetting denial being overruled. Here’s why…🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The BBC is being attacked from within and without, by those who want to control the information we receive. It is running out of friends and will not save itself. The @libdems.org.uk must stand up for it, and so must the government.

Donald Trump's latest market manipulation scheme is having a terrible impact on UK heating oil customers. The government should implement a price cap.

Any chance JD Vance could come and give a speech in the UK ahead of the next general election?

Get out and vote, Hungary. Seize your democracy from Putin and his cronies.

Another weekend, another shit show. Sounds as though the group lucky enough to have forged a seating area from the bathroom beside me, are about to miss their connecting train. @gwr.com and I have opposing definitions of "good service".

Morally completely indefensible. Farage should sack Richard Tice immediately.

Liberal Democrats get things done. We don’t do division. We do potholes and police officers, church roofs and clean rivers. We focus on the local issues that matter to you. Vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May.

MPs must be given the chance to hold the Government to account and prevent the UK from being complicit in war crimes and breaches of international law. Air base access must also be withdrawn now.

This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world. Donald Trump is making wilder and increasingly concerning threats by the hour. If Trump follows through with this, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament.

Glad the government has listened and done the right thing by banning Kanye West from coming to the UK to peddle his hatred. British festivals should be a place for celebration, not a platform for someone who has praised Hitler and promoted vile antisemitic conspiracy theories.

You can still be shocked can't you, even after years of this shit. That sentence chilled me to my bones. To see an American president say that. To see him boast about it.

X is for people who get triggered by marmalade.

"April, May, June, July and August Fools". Rest in peace Charles Augins and Rob Grant.

For the uninitiated, Oakeshott is married to Tice, Deputy Leader of Reform. Reform hates Britain.

Reform launched its London election rally in Croydon yesterday. Meanwhile... here's Isabel Oakeshott

Welcome Kate! Councillor Kate Crawford was a Labour Councillor for 28 years. She has left the Labour party and joined the Liberal Democrats in Ealing.

🛰️✈️ So, using Russian satellite data, Iran destroyed American E-3G Sentry aircraft… Trump administration is putting pressure on Ukraine, lifting sanctions on Russia, and representatives of the Russian Duma are visiting the US. What can you call this? 🤔

BBC News - 'Public need to be better prepared for war amid urgent situation' - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Liberal Democrats are clear: the King's state visit should not go ahead. Keir Starmer must stop appeasing Trump and advise the Palace to cancel this visit immediately.
