I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.
There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British familiesβ energy bills through the roof.
Outrageous that Trump is trying to bully Britain into handing over more NHS cash to big US pharma.
Keir Starmer should put the NHS and the interests of British patients above his attempts to cosy up to Trump. Scrap this bad deal now!
EAST DEVON DISTRICT COUNCIL - AWARD WINNING - TOP PERFORMING LOCAL AUTHORITY IN TERMS OF IT'S RECYCLING AND WASTE COLLECTIONS - 2023
EDDC is Liberal Democrats led.
It had jumped from 141st place to 5th place.
The @libdems.org.uk are committed to raising standards.

Not surprising Farage hasn't bothered to announce a health spokesperson - his entire team is populated by politicians who broke the NHS.
They've also forgotten about a foreign affairs spokesperson, but I guess they will take their orders straight from Trump's White House anyway.
By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe.
Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather
@mrjamesob.bsky.social James, rethink this, the Judge does not make the decision, the jury or the magistrates do. Your analogy about decision making does not work. Step back and rethink. I say this as a JP with 37 years experience
Once the world was run for customers, now the world is run for shareholders
If you hate the Trump Administration and condemn what he is doing in the USA, just remember that his protege in our Country is Nigel Farage. He must never get the chance to do to the UK what Trump has done to America.
The Prime Minister should be calling in the US Ambassador and telling him to his face what our country thinks of Trumpβs traitorous remarks and demanding a full apology.
π¨ NEW: The Lib Dems have called on Keir Starmer to summon the US Ambassador after Donald Trump βdenigratedβ British troops
Donald Trumpβs remarks about British/ NATO troops in Afghanistan are not, as described by Stephen Kinnock, βdeeply disappointingβ, they are downright disgusting, offensive and completely unacceptable. This man is beyond the pale. Our Govt, like Canadian PM Mr Carney, should say so loudly & clearly.
The speech of the Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, at Davos is well worth watching. An example of how to respond to the US President. Sir Keir Starmer, take note, Mr Carney has a lot to lose from Trump, but instead of appeasement, he quietly and succinctly showed the better way forward
βSpecial relationshipβ is and always was a myth we tried to convince ourselves was true.
Translation: time to try and keep my seat rather than stay in the Tory Party
In a world that has Donald Trump, be a Sadio Mane!
There is not a βdecisionβ to make by Denmark or Greenland about the islands status. The only decision required is for the USA to stop threatening NATO Allies.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social Compare and contrast the approach of Mark Carney and Keir Starmer to Donald Trump. One has the b*lls to stand up to him, the otherβ¦..
Oh dear Indy, is this what you now consider journalism, kindly get a grip before my subscription is due for renewal or I will be off.
Just about everyone, except maybe the last and this Government.
Robin, you know you will always be welcome at the Westy, you absolute legend. Merry Christmas and a Brilliant New Year!
MPs warn that UK agreements with Donald Trump are βbuilt on sandβ.
UK bullied to pay billions more for NHS drugs produced by US companies, importing US beef, accept steel tariffs and more, without any reciprocity.
Can't trust Trump. US wants dominance, not partnership.
Rejoin the EU.
A crying shame, a lovely man of principle, unlike the BBC Executives who forced him out.
I certainly wonβt be listening and really hoping Prof Cox and Robinβs fellow comedians will boycott it as well
I hope that no comedian goes on any Infinite Monkey Cage programme without Robin Ince and that Prof Brian Cox also decides he cannot continue. How the hell do we get these BBC Executives to resign instead and get βOurβ BBC back.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social I noticed my WhatsApps to LBC get delivered but are not read? Have you been listening to the Reith Lectures, fascinating stuff, could make a phone in? Great show as always.
Is this the Party that was in power from 2010 and failed to implement any of the proposed inquiry outcomes? Shouldnβt that be included in your headline?
So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"
I remember when the Independent was a quality newspaper, without embarrassing clickbait. I say this as a subscriber, not sure I will renew when it is due. There is a need for another Andreas Whittam Smith to bring decent journalism back to the UK.
