"There are many people who haven't forgiven the Conservatives and they are dismayed by the decisions that the Labour government has made." "People are looking for alternatives and it's the Liberal Democrats that can offer the change that the country is crying out for." @LibDemDaisy.bsky.social

Liberal Democrats make 18 GAINS to become the largest party on Devon Council. We've knocked the Conservatives out of control of the council.

Liberal Democrats make NINE gains to win 14 seats in Warwickshire. šŸ”¶

… guys, someone just commented this under my witch book 😭 like, yes, that was the intention with the cover of two men close together. it is in fact a love story. i could not be any more clear about the direction of my romance book about true love between two immortal men. the title is their names 😭

With 16 fantastic GAINS, Liberal Democrats win 43 councillors to become the largest party in Wiltshire. šŸ”¶ We've kicked the Conservatives out of controlling the council.

"The EU are reliable, American under Trump is deeply unreliable" @adambienkov.bsky.social "I think the EU will occupy a crucial role in the years ahead" @peterjukes.bsky.social Adrian Goldberg, "Both Labour and Conservatives refuse to condemn the key policy that Farage has brought"

Sometimes Trump comes up with things so extra monumentally stupid even I’m at a loss for words. He wants to take away Veterans Day. He thinks WWII ended on May 8th. This is all so ridiculous. At what point do Republicans admit Trump is insane?

Warwickshire Result #LE2025: RFM: 23 (+23) LDM: 14 (+9) CON: 9 (-33) GRN: 7 (+4) LAB: 3 (-3) LOC: 1 (=) Conservative LOSE to No Overall Control.

Labour losing one of its safest seats shows what happens when a government cuts disability benefits and winter fuel payments, keeps the two-child benefit cap, and panders to anti-migrant rhetoric: Reform wins and always will. This isn’t the change people voted for and it shows.

The Lib Dems are becoming more appealing by the day

So he’s been shooting up fluoride ?

THE GUARDIAN: Tactical voting surge threatens Farage's Reform UK in local elections as centrist Conservatives shift allegiance, igniting fears of a formidable anti-Reform coalition. - by Peter Walker

Is there a high level of Fluoride in the water supply at the Whitehouse? šŸ¤”šŸ¤£

RFK Jr: "We found that there's a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure and low IQ in children. So the more you get, the stupider you are."

Not a word of this is true. Literally not a word.

Everything about this scene -- the obsequious lickspittle kissing Trump's ass, the wildly optimistic Fox News chyron, even the stupid little hats promoting Trump's saddest achievement of the first hundred days -- feels like a Make a Wish event for a dying presidency.

This is a prison cell in CERCOT. Sending people there is a brazen violation of the 8th Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment.

"America will be richer if Americans have a lower standard of living"

I basically don’t watch or listen to the news on TV or radio anymore, as every five minutes they cut to some ā€˜live’ bollocks from Trump.

Yes, this is a real tweet.

Why is the UK spying for Israel?

Americans - listen up! At the Bylines Network in the UK, we've taken on a new project to amplify (non-MAGA!) American voices at a time when there's so much damage to people's lives that the US media can't or won't keep up. But we do citizen journalism - we're collecting the stories. Take a look. šŸ‘‡

Downing Street forces Tony Blair to row back from net zero strategy criticism

Reeves’ ā€˜economics’ is actually neoliberal ideology which has been followed by UK governments for decades, helping the perpetuate austerity and poverty. There is plenty of money! šŸ’·

Exactly!šŸ‘‡

Look at this video: a *huge* crowd of Vermonters swaying alongside Mohsen right after he was freed, singing "We Shall Overcome" Signs reading "Hands off our students" & "free speech" are peppered in between large Palestine flags

Why @skynewsrss.bsky.social just why?

Why do the BBC and Sky show these Trump cabinet press calls? There’s no news, we’re not the US. These are just pure Trump propaganda shows. Lie after lie, no comment from the broadcaster, no fact checking. This is mainstreaming delusional facism. They need to stop showing these. #BrokenMedia

Vile stuff & the saddest thing; many who post this stuff believe it. It’s radicalisation en masse Groups set up by Reform UK officials contain posts calling for Muslims to be lynched, suggestions Jewish people are trying to ā€œdilute out country with foreign invadersā€ @bylinetimes.bsky.social

What a surprise ... I actually feel sorry for those taken in by Reform. They are snake oil salespeople preying on the ill-informed and vulnerable. It will be interesting to see, if they gain any councils, just how they actually help ordinary people.
