Farage: “The original agreement was shocking, and it’s been an uphill battle ever since.” I'm old enough to remember Farage standing down his party to step in 100s of Tory constituencies in 2019 to ensure Johnson gov't was in a position to deliver this "shocking agreement".🧐~AA

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

The real tragedy is that Island of Strangers would have made a perfectly decent title for a Booker -nominated novel and they've spaffed it on nativism instead.

If the Government doesn’t introduce a higher Carer’s Minimum Wage AND get on with reforming social care this year, both their plans for social care and immigration will fall apart. Our country deserves a comprehensive plan to fix social care - not half-baked proposals.

Nigel Farage has made it clear that Reform wants to do to our councils what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing to America. On behalf of local people, our new team will shine a light on what Reform councils are up to, scrutinise their actions and fight to protect local services.

Absolutely this. The Green Party & Lib Dems have had hardly any media coverage on their gains from the local elections, just like always in fact. The media obsession with Reform is aiding their rise. Yes, people are crying out for change, but just one option is being rammed down our throats!

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Liberal Democrats have overtaken the Conservatives at these local elections. Now we're on track to replace them next General Election as well. People have put their faith in us because they are appalled by the Conservatives lurching to extremes and cosying up to Nigel Farage.

I am increasingly disappointed that the concerns of the #LGBTQ+ community over what the Supreme Court judgement means for them are not yet being addressed. I have written to the Government asking them to make clear how trans and non binary rights will be protected.

I have found the past 24 hours difficult. Too many people I know are now afraid of what the Supreme Court judgement will mean for them. We need clarity and we need it quickly and we need to know that their rights will be protected, with a compassionate solution.

The Supreme Court judgement has caused concern and left people unsure what it means to them. The government must now provide further clarity and clear guidance that ensures everyone’s rights and dignity, including protecting women and trans people’s rights, as the ruling makes clear. #LibDems

The wait for family-size social housing is more than 100 years in parts of England. Failure of govt policies for the last 50yrs. Jobs and housing not in the same place, ideolology blocked social housing, profiteering, low wages, poverty. Let councils build houses. Need people centered policies.
