"We've got to talk to young people where they are, we've got to hear what they're saying, and we've got to make changes as a result of it." @joshuareynoldssl6.bsky.social

Reading some comments on a couple of posts about Councils struggling to balance the books. Lots of the writers want lower tax, fewer civil servants, but more services. And most of them don't even seem to know which council does which.

Interesting that overnight, Russian trolls have been busy. Lots of comments on various social media posts, so many of them just variations on 4 or 5 themes. Makes it easy to block them.

I planted 2 trees today. It's unlikely that I will live long enough sit in their shade.

The planet is being destroyed; and there are obscenely wealthy people that could stop it. But they won't. And it's because they are not frightened of the potential destruction, but they are frightened of having less wealth.

A stark reminder that we need to change course. Chaos under the Conservatives left people struggling with the cost of living - yet Labour's failures are causing the misery to drag on. It's time for a rethink, starting by reversing the disastrous jobs tax & securing a better trade deal with Europe.

Any normal country would put all of Thames Water's management in jail, repossess the lot, and not pay a penny.

I called for better UK-EU relations over Defence + Ukraine & I visited the incredible team at Combat Stress It was a pleasure to open Nationwide's branch in Leatherhead & I look forward to meeting more local businesses soon! Sign up to my newsletter: http://buff.ly/40fFNu3

🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸 Seen several posts querying the point of solo protests after the #notmypresident rallies yesterday I do solo protests. Yes, they might not change the politics. But they stop the politics changing me. Never give up. #trump #musk #brexit #protest #humanrights #freespeech

Great to welcome @eddavey.libdems.org.uk to Norfolk today & visit one of our county's many hard-working family farms 🚜 🐄 I'm doing all I can to ensure the government #ScrapTheFamilyFarmTax and choose to #BackBritishFarming instead.

When did you last see one of the 72 Lib Dem MPs on the BBC or Sky? When did you last see one of the Reform UK Famous Five on the BBC or Sky? They're beginning to seem like a prominent force in British politics because they're never off our screens.

Do you want to see Andrew Tate locked up by Romania, not freed like Donald Trump wants? I do.

“As a party willing to break a Westminster taboo and take on Trump, the Liberal Democrats are honing a distinct political identity. The MAGA worldview of course, is an anathema to the liberal democratic values Davey’s party champions.

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better. RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.

Nothing says the ‘NHS is for sale’ like dusting off old finance initiatives that bankrupted NHS hospitals…🚨 👉https://open.substack.com/pub/jujuliagrace/p/nothing-says-the-nhs-is-for-sale?r=2654ap&utm_medium=ios

How many more? "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" (Probably not Einstein) We can apply to #RejoinEU at any time. Not sure what we're waiting for...

At Revo on the beach at WsM. Watching the amazing Marvin Muonoke. Singing a lot of love songs. A load of people that have walked their dogs on the beach, dropping information a quick drink.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social "Generation Zed" Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! (It makes me shudder when I hear people say "Generation Zee")

I think it's quite right that journalists should question Rachel Reeves CV & expenses. I just wish the same journalists had been as asiduous in questioning Boris Johnson's finances; or perhaps Nigel Farage's.

Just caught the early part of Tom Swarbrick on LBC. Interviewing Richard Tice; Reform, again. But he chooses not to interview the Greens, or Liberal Democrats. So I've turned off LBC. Would rather sit in the quiet.

From childhood I have wanted things to be fair, and this situation clearly isn't. Greedy @thameswater took our money for certain tasks, then reneged on their responsibilities. They are a corrupt company that does not deserve any more chances. #PublicOwnership now!

A YouGov poll this morning. 70% saying that the UK should focus on strengthening ties with Europe. Rejoining the EU is inevitable; it's just a matter of time
