It's election time and the Conservatives are trying to shift the blame for their own failings. Over successive years central government has given local authorities a fraction of what it costs to maintain the roads and now they want to blame @libdems.org.uk @eddavey.libdems.org.uk ...

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives now

Brexit has been a disaster. We urgently need a reset of our trade relations with EU. How about SM/CU? “UK goods exports to the EU between 2021 and 2023 were down by 27% while EU goods imports to the UK were down by 32%.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Finally. Ceasefire. So many feelings. Still can’t quite believe it. We’d been so close before. But also why did it take so long. Thousands of innocents dead. So much devastation. Let’s hope this lasts and the bombs don’t start again.

Five weeks on and no clarity yet on how long the pause on processing Syrian asylum and settlement claims is going to last for, leaving thousands in limbo.

Turns out that a man who entirely baselessly and bizarrely calls a British minister a rape genocide enabler and tweets random conspiracy theories day and night might neither be the most stalwart nor reliable political ally.

Reporting on grooming gangs tends to focus on minorities, however, as Home Office's own report showed, offenders are far more likely to be white, British. This isn't an immigration issue. Playing to racist tropes means majority of perpetrators are ignored. 1/ #r4today www.gov.uk/government/p...

Well yesterday was a fascinating turn of events in the House of Commons. The MPs voted, but a majority of just two, that the House could introduce a bill to legislate for Proportional Representation for Westminster elections. 🙌 Amazing. This is a very different parliament to the last.

YouGov has just done a poll on whether Brits are happy or unhappy that Trump was elected US president: Unhappy: 60% Happy: 16% They then asked them to say why, in their own words, they felt this way. Leading "unhappy" reason: He's a criminal Leading "happy" reason: He's not Harris/Biden/Democrats

This! As a white (Eastern European) migrant my privilege does not escape me, but even I have to justify my existence/value in terms of economic and tax contribution, even to people I call friends. It’s wrong and exhausting

I get the political calculation here. I'm just gonna point out that the predominance of research into European parties' efforts to outflank the far right like this has found that they merely legitimised the far right's political framing and led voters to opt for the "full fat" version.

These are some of the jobs people told us they did before fleeing to the UK for safety - jobs they're banned from doing while making an asylum claim. Lifting the ban would give people back their dignity and let their communities benefit from their skills. Agree? Join our coalition at bit.ly/3ZnbAKG

Over 100 councils joined us for our recent thematic session on housing for people in non-priority need. Newcastle City Council, a long-standing Council of Sanctuary, showcased an impressive set of services put in place to mitigate growing refugee homelessness. Well worth a watch 👏👇 #refugeeswelcome
