Reform’s move to block local journalists from reporting on their work is straight out of Donald Trump's playbook. It's a cornerstone of our democracy that politicians of all stripes are held to account — but for some reason Farage's cronies think they can make themselves exempt.
Nice one 👍

Thanks for the update - the forecast where I am for the next few days is 35 degrees …. ( not the med but southern Germany 😱😱).
I’m away & the garden /plants need it 😱
Is it raining in Bristol tonight ?
Are you still supporting Labour ? Labour are as much to blame for Brexit - maybe even more so than the Tories/Farage etc .
Sounds like Darth Vader is in the Thatchers basket😂👍
What a prize fool .
Btw - you need to put the source of so called ‘shock horror! Stories .
I hope I have not ruined your Sunday . I can only speak personally - I am not ‘for ‘ - Ione section of society -I want to improve everyone’s lives/well being both here & the Planet - bringing people together - not dividing them - restoring nature .Thats pretty much in line with Lib Dem principles .
You really don’t understand politics & politically parties or political history . I guess that’s one of the reasons U.K. politics is a mess - too much projection - half truths - twisted facts - alternative facts - but hey I’m an optimist- perhaps you will reflect one day on your posts .
Truth can be alien to some. It’s the weekend- let these folks dream 👍
Abuse doesn’t change the truth my angry friend:
Corbyn doesn’t do compromise 😞 never has …It’s the People’s Front of Juda sketch played over & over.until Corbyn & his doppelgängers are finally gone history imo will keep repeating.

Sounds like discussing setting up Sunday schools with the Devil ref Reform /gamlbling.
Your tat is others gold dust ! Dont throw it away … 1000s of good homes for all of RD stuff 👍
I hope you read my posts - you appear to have fallen into a Labour MAGA fantasy history . I feel sad for you , but live I hope . Have a good Sunday Tony - love & Peace .x
Labour loved the Boris Johnson disastrous Brexit deal so much they vote FOR it … not against or even abstain. The Lib Dem’s ? Go & find out .
Hummm this is interesting! Labour supporting the Conservatives over Brexit - which would make the poorer poorer !!! Oh look … it’s the Liberal Democrat’s opposing the Conservatives… !
Did they oppose the Conservatives? Did the support the Conservatives ? Let’s take a look shall we …
Brexit made us poorer everyone sane (experts) knew this - as a country & individually especially those struggling to make ends meet … so what did Labour do ….
Now let’s move onto 2019/2020 …. Brexit …. Which has made the country & its citizens so much poorer …
Let’s move onto 2015 … did Labour say ‘let’s end austerity……of course not! They want even more !!
This would have MORE austerity if a Labour gov had been leading a coalition.
It must be remembered Labour would not accept any change in Prime Minister ( even though GBrown had lost ) & that any coalition (the MPs Lib/Lab was still well short of of majority) had to be agree to Labours manifesto (no compromise).
Labour would have cut MORE - MORE austerity.
Here is what each pleaded to cut & what the Coslition actually cut
At 2010 GE all 3 main parties pledged massive cuts (austerity) the bring the economy under control ..
Basically a Labout gov maxed out the UKs credit card. & massive borrowing was off the cards when the crash came . Vince Cable Lib Dem warned time & time again when Labour was spending madly this could happen.
G Browns massive borrowing on spending before the financial crisis meant the govt was likely to lose their AAA rating . This meant higher interest repayments if we borrowed heavily.
Pfis - look that up if you done understand .
Gordon Brown - remember him? As Chancellor he had his ‘golden rules ‘ - careful fiscal management of the economy. He broke his rules before he became PM by spending MORE than the record tax receipts the Government was receiving. On top of this massive £ PFIs
Okay - stop the abuse now - now learn something.
Labour were the problem - and still are . Can you remember what happened between 2008 & now ? Especially Labours shameful record of actions/in actions THAT is largely why we (UK) are in the mess we are now . Stop blaming others .
Are you British ?
Point ?
Corbyn will put an end to that .
Maybe an exodus of Corbyn left wing Green Party members will change the views
Femi - appears a nice bloke but a fool - totally fell for Labours line 100% - wonder if he has come to terms with that?
Bye bye so called Green Party.
Ok Keir Starmer, let’s see the RAF leading the way.
Lib Dems defeat Reform motion at @wiltscouncil.bsky.social Full Council meeting which would have ended action to tackle climate change. In 2019 a coalition of LDs and Tories declared a climate emergency.Today the Tories abstained #wrongsideofhistory
A sad irrelevant has been looking for some sort of importance - I never warmed to him despite person contact & never supported him in internal elections - he was never worthy imo.
#PoliticsLive What we're witnessing, right here, is exactly why Lib Dems leader Ed Davey has reported the #BBC to Ofcom. Constant promotion of Reform UK Ltd, with very little interrogation, unlike when Lib Dem of Labour guests are on www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/lib...
Senior advisor: I’ve called this meeting because our leader is horribly low in the opinion polls. Any ideas? Advisor: We could publicly shame some of our most principled backbenchers for sticking up for the people the party was created to defend. Senior advisor: Excellent idea!
Well said
Brilliant 👍
If the only way you'll ever hear someone call out Nigel Farage's destructive, divisive politics on the BBC is for me to do it, then so be it.
I just signed this petition calling for better cooperation with the EU on the environment. Will you add your name, too? www.europeanmovement.co.uk/uk-eu-enviro...

Enough is enough. ❌ I, along with my @libdems.org.uk colleagues from across the South West, have written to South West Water CEO Susan Davy, calling for her resignation. Ofwat's recent report found that South West Water was failing at both an operational and management level. #Devon
I met a Labour councillor today whose views on immigration, PIP, new housing being built on local greenbelt and taxing the wealthy were indistinguishable from the Tories. Labour are what they do in government. Don’t fall for all that kind and caring stuff they say when in opposition.
At last one of the party leaders says what everyone has been thinking. But it’s not just about the BBC. It’s ITV, Ch4, Sky etc Fair coverage now for ALL our parties not just over platforming of one. Sign our petition for plurality
No pressure 😂😂

Nice 👍👍👍
Today marks one year since I was elected as your MP for Harrogate & Knaresborough. It’s been a real privilege, and I’ve done my best every day to live up to the trust that you placed in me. There’s still so much more to do, and I’ll keep working hard every day to represent you.
One year ago today, I was honoured to be elected MP for #GlastonburyandSomerton. Since then I’ve helped over 7,000 constituents, fought for our farmers, pushed for better transport and demanded action on pollution, health and the cost-of-living crisis. I’ll never stop fighting for our community.
One year ago today, I was honoured to be elected as your MP. Since then, I’ve worked hard on the issues that matter to our community: improving health services, tackling the cost of living crisis & protecting our environment. I’m proud of all we’ve achieved. Thank you for your continued support.
Today marks one year since you elected me to be your Member of Parliament. Since then, I've been working hard to give you a strong voice in Parliament and to really champion our area. Here is my first annual report, looking back at what I've done and what you've raised with me.
Labour councillor Clive Pickering joins Lib Dems in Barnsley
The rump/environmental wing of the Green Party needs to join the Lib Dem’s to push green policies.
Hope beats hate 👍
Hope wins over hate 👍
"After months of delay, can the Prime Minister reassure campaigners that his Hillsborough Law will include a real legal duty of candour, as he promised?" #PMQS @eddavey.libdems.org.uk
“Securing additional funding for the PSNI and stabilising officer numbers is a top priority for the Justice Minister @naomilong.bsky.social," says Nuala McAllister MLA. Alliance recognises the vital work of our officers and will continue to push for the investment the PSNI needs.
Brexit was a monumental act of self harm and stupidity. That we have a government allowing it to continue is unforgivable.
Labour don’t do compromise - Liberals do 👍👍
The Green Party losing its hard left members would open the possibility of them merging with the Lib Dem’s 👍
PIP cuts and women: - Overlooking the experiences and support needs of disabled women with menstruation, incontinence, and personal hygiene - Vulnerability to economic abuse - Increasing the unpaid care burden We can’t let Labour get away with treating disabled women and their families like this.
I have been arguing at every GE since 2016 that a Labour vote is a waste if you are pro EU & anti Brexit . Remember Labour under KS not only failed to oppose Boris Johnson’s hard Brexit - they voted FOR it . Never forget .
Many people confuse greens with the Green Party .
Labour would have cut MORE - you don’t do honestly do you ?
Only ones going up babe
Regret Brexit? Return to Liberalism #LibDems
