Speak out - name it as genocide - and then act. End all arms sales, impose a wide range of sanctions and call for the arrest and trial of all those guilty of war crimes, including prime minister Netanyahu.

Public ownership ‘not the answer’ says Minister as Thames Water teeters. Wrong. After 36 yrs of market solutions. Result - sewage in rivers, unplugged leaks, customers fleeced, high dividends. Govt dithered. TW added another £3bn debt, spends £200m a year on advisers. Need public ownership now.

The smart thing to do would be to work on a NATO plan for a transfer of responsibility from the US to Europe. We risk getting fake spending targets to appease Trump instead and then a gap when the US withdraws forces.

OTD in 1997 Ukraine & Russia signed the Russian–Ukrainian Friendship Treaty in which we promised to "respect each other's territory". We have not broken this or any other treaties we signed so Ukraine should sign one now for peace cos we’ll totally respect that one. Lol.

Brexit = -4% to our economy, hitting jobs, inflation and travel. India trade deal = (upto) +0.1% to our economy over 15 years. BREXITEERS: Woop! See, Brexit benefits! Yay! (A few moments later) BREXITEERS: Oh no, more brown people will come here! Booo!

The Conservatives' "two-tier tax" claim over the UK-India trade deal is nonsensical. We already have such deals with numerous countries. It's only for some short-term workers. It means companies aren't paying into 2 parallel social security schemes at the same time. And the deal's reciprocal.

This Starmer quote on Churchill is utterly dreadful. We give Churchill a lot of credit in Origin Story, but he was unquestionably racist & imperialist & responsible for the Bengal famine. Many British people dislike him for entirely justifiable reasons. Questioning their decency is outrageous.

The government has responded to our demand for a Rejoin referendum. In exactly the same copy and paste bullshit way the Tories used to do. If they don't offer an alternative to Tory/Reform, people will just vote Tory/Reform. Simple as that. #RejoinEU

Every vote for the Liberal Democrats counts. It's a vote to elect a strong local champion, who will fight for a fair deal for you and your community. Kemi Badenoch may sneer at us for being the party that will fix your local church roof, but we are proud to be focusing on fixing local issues.

❗ 43% of Brits think the government should respond to Trump’s trade war by strengthening our ties with other like-minded partners, like the EU. Do you agree? Email your MP and tell them to attend the debate on the UK’s trading relationship with Europe 👉 buff.ly/8SDDegC
