A stonker of a night for us. Three huge wins, Reform nowhere near us and the Tories down to ten percent in Mel Stride’s own seat.

We are the only party taking Farage on and the only party beating him.

Imagine the Trump-inspired country Farage wants for Britain. No NHS, huge insurance bills, people denied care.

That’s Trump’s America. Don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

TEXT: BBC NEWS

Don't let Farage turn UK into Trump's America, says Ed Davey.

Davey tells the conference the Lib Dems offer a different change compared to the one offered by Reform UK and Nigel Farage.

Please don’t pick a fight with the Lib Dems- here in my ward it only served to let the Tory candidate walk straight down between us to take the seat. Yes we’re different but essentially will both be on the right side of history 🙏🏼

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Politicians from all parties must come together to condemn Elon Musk’s dangerous call for violence and make clear it has no place in our country.

“Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.” — Ed Davey.

If you are too scared to say this @labouruk.bsky.social then you’re not fit to govern

If you are too scared to act you are not fit to govern

If you fear the BBC & Sky etc will promote these thugs’ angle then you can get back some semblence of impartiality in the BBC but that means you have to ACT

It’s appalling to see police officers come under attack at the Tommy Robinson rally. Those involved should be held accountable through the full force of the law.

Ed Davey Tweet Quote Graphic:

TEXT: Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

Blaming migrants won’t fix this.

Tackling inequality will. Tax the super-rich. Fund public services.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.

That, right there, is the problem.

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

So (bear with me, O’level maths was a long time ago), if there are 224,000 asylum seekers in the UK and his plan is to deport 600,000 migrants…..
That can only mean some kind of ‘cleansing’…..
Don’t be fooled by him or the media supporting his nonsense, flags or no flags!
