"Voters appear to be in a restless mood as Labour faces its first electoral test since its landslide general election victory. #ReformUK is surging in the polls and the #LibDems and #Greens are also seeking to capitalise on voters' apparent disenchantment with #Labour and the #Tories in English local elections."

I have long thought that, were I in the United Kingdom, I would almost certainly be a# LiberalDemocrat. The most recent failings of both the Conservative and Labour Parties have only solidified that belief. Thank you, #LibDems, for standing up for sanity, decency, and equality for all women. Yesterday's ruling by the Supreme Court of the UK will inevitably result in discrimination and violence against both cis women and trans women. #UKpol

Screenshot of a Facebook post from 16 April 2025 by the LGBT+ Liberal Democrats of the United Kingdom. A photograph of the building housing the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, overlaid with the colors of the flag of transgender pride, with overlaid text reading "Trans Woman = WOMAN" The post reads: " We are studying today's judgement by the UK Supreme Court. Nothing they rule will change our solidarity with the trans+ community and with everyone who seeks to live their lives under control of their own bodies, and free from poverty, ignorance or conformity. Trans women are women, trans men are men, and non-binary and intersex folks are just as valid just as they are. It's time this was reflected in the law of the land, and LGBT+ Lib Dems will be at the forefront of pushing for that change. Lots of love to our trans+ siblings and their loved ones today. "

I’m the Liberal Democrat candidate for Margate in the Kent County Council (KCC) Elections

If you live near me, I’d appreciate your vote.

Political messages must have a specific wording on them. In my case:

What you want to say, but are too afraid too, is "we need to undo Brexit, as it was a massive fucking mistake"

Starmer there, thinking like a child caught in a divorce and not a National Leader in a time of global crisis "doesn't want to choose between the US and the EU"

Don't you get it you slow mutherfucker, you don't make that choice, it's already been made for you, WAKE UP!

Shago 10.36 BST UK and other G7 allies should sideline US by deepening their own free trade links, says former Treasury minister Jim O'Neill Jim O’Neill, the former Goldman Sachs chief economist and former Treasury minister, has said Britain and other non-US G7 nations should respond to the Trump tariffs by deepening their own free trade links. In an interview on the Today progamme, he said that it was perfectly feasible for leading nations still committed to free trade to in effect sideline the US, and trade more with each other. O'Neill, who served as a Treasury minister in David Cameron’s government for a year and who is now a crossbench peer, said that G7 countries could take the lead in this, but that India and China should be included too. He said the government was right to carry on talks with the US about a possible trade deal. But he went on:
44 But I think our approach should be to slightly stand back and think, what does Britain want, and can it get from the rest of the world, and what can we contribute? And in that regard, it’s important to realise that the rest of the G7, except the US, collectively are the same size as the United States. And I would have thought a very sensible thing to be doing is having a serious conversation with the other members about actually lowering trade barriers between ourselves, especially for cross-border services, which is what the UK has a marginal advantage in, which would be very healthy for all of those countries because it’s the one area of global trade where most countries haven’t done enough in. ONeill said that the US was on a “kamikaze path” and that its tariffs were “rather insane”. But other countries had the clout to resist, he suggested. Asked if it was possible to just ignore the US, he replied: 44 The US is the biggest economy in the world still, but it’s not anything like as important for global trade as it is in global finance and global security.
So if the US wants to do this [impose global tariffs], then it’s perfectly within the bounds of feasibility for other large economies to structure themselves, stop this addiction to the US consumer, and start to consume more themselves, as well as between each other. O'Neill said, by turning his back on free trade, Trump was turning his back on “the major thing which has made the United States so prosperous over the last 40 to 50 or more years”. Other countries “shouldn't get sucked into the same game”, he said, because overall, “whether it’s life expectancy or wealth”, the whole world has benefited from this model. The Liberal Democrats and the Greens have both said Keir Starmer should respond to the Trump tariffs by strengthening economic links with countries like Canada and the EU. But Starmer has rejected this idea, saying it would be wrong to choose between being close to the US and being close to Europe.

Although Lib Dems going through the lobbies with the Tories to support austerity is hardly ancient history, credit where credit is due - Davey's approach would be so much better than Starmer's attempts to ingratiate himself with Trump.

Corruption in Westminster

Do we expect any less?

One example, and probably a less venal one given the HoL of how people get into the House of Lords.

I any reasonable society this would not be acceptable. But hey, #England, #Labour, #Conservatives, #LibDems - what do you expect
