The United Kingdom is at its best when we’re true to our values: tolerance, decency, respect for individual freedom and the rule of law.

We can't let Nigel Farage throw that all away by turning Britain into Trump’s America.

Choose a brighter future with the Liberal Democrats.

Centrist ideas no longer wanted in Conservative party, says Kemi Badenoch Party leader tells MPs that one-nation Tories doubting her rightward direction ‘need to get out of the way’

Its no surprise that centrist, moderate people who once voted Conservative are now supporting the Liberal Democrats.

Illegal waste tip investigation near Sittingbourne in Kent The site at Basser Hill near Sittingbourne is being investigated by the Environment Agency.

Two further sites are under investigation in Faversham and Eastchurch on the Isle of Sheppey.

@timfarron.bsky.social is correct.

Illegal waste sites avoiding landfill tax has become as big a scourge of post #Brexit Britain as unlimited #RawSewage disposals in water courses.

Local sites: Hoads Wood (Ashford), Basser Hill (Sittingbourne), Raspberry Hill Park Farm, Borstal (Rochester).

Screenshot of an LBC News article with the headline: “Nigel Farage opens investigation into Reform candidate over ‘racist’ and ‘sickening’ social media posts.” Subheadline states that Mike Manning is Reform UK’s candidate in an upcoming by-election on Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council. Article is by Henry Riley, dated 29 January 2026.

Reform’s candidate for Redcar, Mike Manning, has hurled sickening insults at Jewish and Muslim communities.

Farage must kick his candidate out and make clear these kinds of awful views have no place in British politics.

We cannot allow #RefUK’s mini-Trump to turn the UK into mini-ICE UK.

Nigel Farage wants every police officer in the UK to carry a gun.

Don't let him turn Britain into his version of Trump's America.

Post Monday’s @ukhouseofcommons.bsky.social petitions C’ttee debate, the problem of #Russia’s interference in UK democracy and politics could not be more urgent or important.

We need the judicial public inquiry, ASAP.

Trump is a vile racist bully

We should all condemn this without hesitation. But something tells me Farage will find a way to make excuses for his best mate Trump. I hope I’m wrong.

Trump is a vile racist bully.

His actions should be condemned without hesitation.

“I've experienced racial abuse in all different kinds of pockets, and that’s the reality comments like Sarah’s help create.”

Watch @JoshBabarinde.bsky.social directly call out the harmful, racist rhetoric pushed by members of Reform.

This must be investigated.

A year ago I asked the government to release the full, unredacted Russia Report.

Security Minister Dan Jarvis declined.

Could Mandelson be the reason why?

Pie chart showing 34% of votes in the 2024 general election resulting in 63% of seats in House of Commons and therefore 100% of the power by Make Votes Matter.

More people are realising that First-Past-The-Post leads to unpredictable and volatile politics - if a party gets 34% of the vote, they should get 34% of the seats. We are campaigning with cross-party allies and other parties to change our politics for the better with Proportional Representation.

I am deeply suspicious of parties which court cryptocurrency donations, given the potential for money laundering, by organised criminal gangs and malign foreign governments.

Yesterday in Parliament, I rang the alarm bell at Farage's continuing closeness to wire fraud convict George Cottrell.

This Safer Internet Day, @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk, @MuniraWilson.bsky.social and @Victoria-Collins.bsky.social have written to Liz Kendall and Bridgette Phillipson to push for stronger protections for our children online.

We must protect our young people from the harms of social media.

The SEND system isn’t working, not for students, their families, or their teachers.

It’s time to stop tinkering at the edges and start transforming our education system.
