The Jenkinsite Group is an online network for #LibDem members and/or supporters who identify with the political tradition associated with Roy Jenkins: #liberal reform, #socialdemocracy, #internationalism, and serious #government.
The attempts by a handful of unelected peers to block the settled will of the House of Commons, and the expressed will of the public over assisted dying leads us into a difficult constitutional position.
LGBT History Month.
Today is the first day of LGBT History Month
LGBT+ people have always been part of our societies, but often their stories are hidden and go untold.
This month is an opportunity to celebrate those stories and continue to campaign for progress.
Narrator: Obviously, Starmer would not resign
"We honour the trailblazers who came before and stand with the next generation as they push for a fairer future.
Our message is unwavering: you belong, your history matters, and we will continue fighting until everyone is truly free to be who they are."

Just remember that both Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman believe the world benefits from Trump's leadership.
The Epstein Files are riddled with Trump's name.
Bets on "I've got dementia" being his excuse for not going to trial.
Great action day out with @ollyglover.bsky.social
working hard all year round!

What the heck are ICE doing in Italy?
Their role is supposed to be related to protecting the US border & dealing with immigration … 4000 miles away
Am I the only one confused by this?
"each and every death is a loss beyond words or measure."
With that in mind, Appleby's "report" claiming only 6 deaths looks like an attempt to cover up bad news.
And, as i told the PM a couple of weeks ago, making trans healthcare difficult or illegal to access doesn't stop people being trans.
A Jenkinsite case for welcoming #OneNationConservatives, on #liberal terms.
The argument is simple: welcome the break from culture-war #politics, and be clear about the settlement: the rule of law, equal dignity, civil liberties, and a social-market approach to dispersing power.
The @libdemvoice.org piece introducing the Jenkinsite Group has just been published!
It was submitted last week, so the membership count is slightly out of date (it says we have 94 members, but we're currently at 119).
It's great to see the group launch into the wider Lib Dem family!
Somehow Gorton & Denton makes me think of Dandelion and Burdock.
The arguments for and against a social media ban for under-16s offer a philosophical challenge for liberals, and @jackmeredithwrites.bsky.social outlines some of the evidence for and against… www.libdemvoice.org/ofcom-has-fa...
Reform UK is supportive of Donald Trump's blackshirts, aka, ICE.
ICE Operations have included executing citizens in broad daylight.
Nigel Farage believes we should relax Britain's gun laws.
For the love of God, please, do not let this man near power.
#Reform has 8 #MPs and has been mentioned by nearly every major #newspaper and #news station.
#LibDems have 72 MPs, and barely get any coverage.
Why on earth is Reform getting so much official coverage? They've got fewer members than it takes to form a #uni #society!
Frightening. Vaccines should be a no brainer. Seems we’re not just susceptible to disease, but misinformation and out right lies
And quite right too! @libdems.org.uk
ICE having a melt down.
#timeforabigpush
There's always a tweet
Suella Braverman has defected to #Reform.
The surprise isn't who left; it's when.
Kemi Badenoch promised "no more drama", but the defections keep coming. Which raises a serious question: if #Braverman is leaving, what is the #Conservative Party for?
Every masterpiece has its cheap imitation

If it’s Monday, it must be time for Mathew Hulbert’s look back at the events of the past week, featuring local elections postponement, prospects for the Tories and congratulations to Liberal Democrats in North Cotswolds… www.libdemvoice.org/mathew-on-mo...
Last year's autumn budget let down families & businesses
If this government was serious about economic growth, they'd follow Lib Dem policies on energy bills - not just three years of support, but a plan to halve bills by 2035. I'll keep fighting to bring down electricity costs across our community
"Defence Resilience Bonds" makes more sense imo, it's ensuring we remain resilient as a nation, and reframes defence as a public good.
I mean if they wanted to actually be somewhat accurate, there's an argument to be made that the weaponisation of the NEC (used by all Labour leaders, not just Starmer) is creeping on very soft Stalinism, but this is ridiculous from them.
On today’s doorstep:
“It’s just not the same anymore… we give them all our money, it should be for our own. They don’t speak English.”
Me ”People come because they DO speak English.”
Both mother, who said this, and her daughter, whom I know vaguely through dogs had the decency to look embarrassed.
Yes NATO
No PEDO
