The UK can secure significant growth of 1.7% - 2.2% through a policy of deep alignment with the EU on goods and services, while staying within Starmer's red lines. This is the approach to push for: peak ambition within the constraints Labour has set. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Donald Tusk has expressed his hopes for a #Breturn. If you'd also like this to happen why not sign/share this petition. It can't do any harm to officially express our wishes and hopefully swing a debate. #Brexit #RejoinEU petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe. That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US. This is the second verified incident I've heard about. We were here 1st. #ICE

These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models. We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.

There is something hugely revealing in the rage that her kindness has provoked. A real “HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME LOOK AT MYSELF?” vibe. And something immensely powerful in her continuing to show them up, by insisting on being kind. A beam of light piercing through. Great interview, @maddow.msnbc.com.

Incredible from Bishop Budde: "We don't have to go to the highest extremes of contempt when we are in a position of disagreement. I think if we could get that back as a country, we would go a long way in being able to work together to address the many problems that we face." ~AA @maddow.msnbc.com

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has called Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde “nasty” and demand she apologize for her sermon yesterday at the National Cathedral that called for justice for the poor and marginalized. REPOST if you stand with Bishop Budde against Donald Trump’s hatred!

Leviticus 19:33-34 33 When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God. Rev. Budde did her job.

This takes real courage and conviction. True compassion. My full respect to Bishop Budde.

Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is being celebrated as “fearless” and “bold” after pleading with Donald Trump to show Christian mercy to immigrants and members of the LGBT+ community. Meanwhile, in an unhinged rant on TruthSocial, Trump wrote that Budde owes “the public” an apology.

If you've ever wondered how you would have reacted in 1930s Germany, it's pretty much how you are reacting right now. Bishop Budde shows the way.

The late-night tirades have begun. Now he’s targeting Bishop Budde for calling for compassion toward those fearing what lies ahead. It seems time away did little to thicken his notoriously thin skin.

He’s back . And he’s doing exactly what he said he would . Executive orders to expand drilling in the Alaskan wilderness , the guise of a ‘National Energy Emergency’ to slash red tape and regulation for fossil fuel companies , and the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement .

Strong, sensible, progressive move from Davey. It's time to really increase pressure on Labour from the Remain side. They musn't go into negotiations thinking the danger is only on the Leave side.

In early 2020, a pandemic was spreading. The UK’s PM went on a 10 day half-term holiday during which he was uncontactable and the government went into panic mode, focusing, as Hancock related to the COVID enquiry, on buying enough body bags. 1/8

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

Conservative attempts to block the May local elections in #Surrey are part of a worrying trend of concentrating power and silencing local voices. Liberal Democrats are standing up to this undemocratic move but we need your help to ensure all of our voices are heard ✍️ www.change.org/p/let-surrey...
