Shouldn’t @libdems.org.uk stop using the platform? It would be a good place to start.
Ed Davey urges regulator to go after Musk over X 'crimes' - Musk has backed the far right here and across Europe, he’s also called for the overthrow of the British government. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk is right, time for action.

With Labour and the Conservatives both having let people down and failed to deliver the change our country needs, it comes down to the Liberal Democrats or Nigel Farage. Two visions for the future that couldn’t be more different.

This'll be very telling when he comes to speak. If Farage uses his appearance in front of that committee to encourage a foreign state to bully his own country, he'll have crossed a very specific line.
Politico: "The Sun has seen evidence to [a US] committee submitted by Nigel Farage in which he suggests the White House should use “diplomacy and trade” in the free speech battle, which sounds like calling for Britain to be bullied into a law change."

Is Farage calling for sanctions AGAINST the UK?

If you want to interview someone….
You are talking about Kinship Carers. They look after children who would otherwise end up in care. They don’t get the support that foster or adoptive parents get.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq
