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

Don't add 10% to USA imports, agreed, it just hurts us. But immediately call off trade deal talks. Immediately call off state visit. THE biggest thing we can do to hurt Trump and Putin, is to immediately apply to join the EU. So pls Sign & Share this... petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink
