Tonight, in a House of Commons vote, Labour and Conservative MPs failed to back our plans to protect customers from footing the bill for water company bailouts. Liberal Democrats forced a parliamentary vote to ensure it is creditors, rather than customers, who pay when water…
“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it. I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people…
Genuinely unbelievable - “We’ve totally stopped taking referrals and if you’re already on the waiting list it’ll be 18 years soz”
Some of us have always thought of Nigel Farage as a first-order backchannel.
🚨 NEW: Tony Blair’s Foreign Secretary Jack Straw says Labour should consider using Nigel Farage as a backchannel to Donald Trump’s administration [@theipaper]
"Hello, we're putting your contents insurance premiums up by 25%" "What what what what what the-" "It's the global inflation shock, just the way things are, very sad" "Are you also increasing the amount I can claim by 25%?" "lol no"
I love that we've taken computers - a machine designed exclusively to do math - and taken away the ability to solve gradeschool math problems and all it cost us was the amazon rainforest
Had it confirmed Lord Davies of Gower is a member of the shadow cabinet, and this is a genuine account.
The treatment of junior doctors in the UK seems to be some sort of grand social experiment, in which the objective is to understand exactly how desperately people want to be doctors even if you treat them like absolute dross.
After an undergrad in Durham & postgrad medical degree in which she gained several academic awards, my wife has been RANDOMLY ranked in the bottom 6% of UK med students. Off we go to another country away from our flat and my London-based job. Cheers @UKFPO @wesstreeting @TheBMA
Wendy is absolutely right. If people need help they need help, regardless of how many children they have. You cannot imagine a parent being turned away at a hospital if their third child was ill. It is time the government saw sense and scrapped the limit.
Yesterday on @LBC I spoke about lifting the two child benefit cap - disappointed it wasn't included in the King's Speech. Scrapping it would lift 1000s of children out of poverty & help break down employment barriers for parents who can't afford childcare with the cap in place.
Oh, and don’t believe anyone who tells you they are serious about net zero while regularly opposing wind or solar farms, or the networks required for the energy generated to get to where people and industry are. So fed up of this nonsense 👇
Have to say when Cameron became PM of a majority govt in 2015 on 36.9% of the vote I don't remember quite so much concern about vote shares.
And properly monitoring Scottish waters!
Liberal Democrats have a plan to end the sewage scandal for good. ⬇️
Climate change is the biggest existential threat we are facing, and yet, the Tories seem to be set on taking us backwards in our progress towards net zero. The Lib Dems would prioritise insulating homes up and down the country, improving energy efficiency and lowering bills.
Deaths in the English Channel are a direct result of a lack of safe and legal routes for refugees. We need to create more avenues of safe passage to the UK to those who need it, this will help us to solve the backlogs and stop the trafficking gangs.

Double by-election win for @LibDems in Oxfordshire. Note that the Tories were close in the county seat. Yet in the campaign we found very few who would admit it. This shows yet again if you want the Tories out you need to vote Liberal Democrat where we are the main contenders.

I suppose it's a punishment of sorts for Hester to see his £15m wasted on one of the most inept campaigns in electoral history, but the fact remains that every single one of Sunak's directionless ads, weird memes and clumsy photo-ops was funded by a racist theguardian.com/politics/artic…
"We are extremely bad at getting value for money, but many of our candidates have not yet been exposed as Hitler admirers, please put us in charge of the government"
Reform paid a vetting company £144k to carry out candidate checks. Not a single piece of work was delivered. Colin Bloom has links to the Tory party & has very serious questions to answer. Lawyers have been instructed. We do not rule out police action. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
Yes more reason to get rid of this chaotic Tory Government. Businesses don’t invest as much when there is such uncertainty. Vote @LibDems for a fair deal for our economy.
