I literally spent 10 min translating Lula’s speech about Palestine to English. I just need every single one of my gringo friends to listen to this man in order to maybe restore their faith in politics. This right here is a politician. This is why we voted for him. And personally, I’ll do it again.

Ed Davey, "It's so frustrating, so infuriating that Nigel Farage gets such an easy ride from the media"

"As he lies, as he divides, the BBC and others given Farage so much time and attention"

"But they never hold him to account for all the damage he has already done"

"The damage of Brexit"

Lib Dems: We have 12x Reform's MPs, can we have the same coverage?

BBC: But Reform has 2x your poll rating. If there were an election tomorrow, they'd be running the country.

Lib Dems: So you're putting their people and policies under scrutiny, right?

BBC:

Lib Dems: Right?

‼️ ‘We need to try to understand why they believe the far right’s lies, counter those lies, and offer a genuine alternative for ordinary people; otherwise, we will be in the US’s shoes with Farage at the helm.’
