Mayor of Newark and congress members being arrested today. What are they hiding? What don't they want seen? When do we decide to group up & do something about it? When will they come for us?

I am going to have words with the press team. They didn't do visits like this when I was temporary interim provisional stopgap leader.

Fly-tipping is out of control thanks to years of Conservative failure. We’re calling for a Fly-Tipping Fighting Fund to help clean up our communities with tougher fines and stronger enforcement.

"The amount the government is seeking to cut from the benefits bill is colossal: £4.5bn every year by 2029/30. To put this in context, the government currently spends £48bn on health-related benefits, so this is a cut of just under 10%."

What next for the Lib Dems? I've done a pamphlet with @lintywilliams.bsky.social that has a go at throwing some evidence at answering that question, to contribute to the party's next strategy process and policy review: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Liberal Democrat MPs stood with hardworking carers at Westminster today, calling on the government to scrap the jobs tax on care providers and complete the social care review within a year. It’s time to give carers the support they need and deserve.

Donald Trump's stitch-up with Putin makes it is clear: we are living in a new and dangerous world. We must respond.

"We must support Ukraine over the Trump-Putin stitch-up. "It's disappointing that other parties, like Reform, have remained silent on this, choosing to lick the boots of President Trump." @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

The NHS primary care crisis is forcing millions to wait weeks in pain for a GP appointment, leading to unnecessary hospital admissions, more strain on A&E and costing the NHS even more money. It's time for urgent action.

It isn't only a culture war. It isn't only a class war. It's a war against empathy. Against community. Against everything that's helped our species to survive. Sociopaths are using technology to divide us by class, culture, race & religion. Simply put, it's a war against common humanity.

Social Care could easily be nationalised all staff switched from private providers to Government contracts. This would cut the cost by 40% overnight. Then Social care could easily be provided to all.

UK's regressive tax system. Poorest 10% of households paid 48% of income in tax; richest 10% paid 39%. Poorest 10% paying 12% of income in VAT; richest 10% pay 3%. Council tax: Poorest 10% paying 7%; richest 10% pay 1.2%. No govt plans to end inequity. equalitytrust.org.uk/news/press-r...

This is so sad. The Brexit report from LSE’s Centre for Economic Performance confirms all the warnings that were made before Brexit. Simply put, Brexit has thrown Britain's small businesses under a bus. So much so that over 16,000 of them have given up exporting to the EU altogether. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

James @mrjamesob.bsky.social nails it again: "Spluttering incomprehension". These words describe perfectly how we feel and what we think about the sale of The Observer and how it has been executed. Said in a standout interview with Carole @carolecadwalla.bsky.social today on LBC Radio.

A SHORT HISTORY of BREXIT. ▪︎The public was lied to. ▪︎Leavers broke campaign spending rules. ▪︎We got a rock-hard Brexit anyway. ▪︎No compromises were made for Remainers. ▪︎Brexit happened. ▪︎It's been a disaster. ▪︎Things will just get worse. ▪︎The public has changed its mind. ▪︎It now wants to Rejoin.

The tide has changed on Brexit. Even Leavers admit that Single Market membership and EU Freedom of Movement are things worth having. The only one standing in the way now is Keir Starmer. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺
