Kemi Badenoch ignored the former Conservative voters who believe in the rule of law, protecting our home for future generations and human rights for all our people.

"Farage wants 'free speech'? You got it: that leaflet was racist. Condemn it. Apologise.

And to immigrants: Farage says 'go home'? I say, you 𝘢𝘳𝘦 home."

'affordable' is an absolute joke anyway, but not sure this sits well with me, sounds like developers will be just counting more profits...

Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Helen Morgan:

"Nigel Farage wants to impose Trump's dangerous anti-science agenda here in the UK. Peddling this kind of nonsense is irresponsible and wrong.

"It seems Farage would rather see pregnant women suffer in pain than stand up to his idol Donald Trump."

Picked up some Lib Dem stats at conference. Some of these surprised me (especially given media coverage):

1. The Liberal Democrats now control more councils than the Conservative Party

2. In May's local elections in England, the LDs elected more councillors than either Labour or the Tories.

Sure.

I left Twitter because I do not intend to legitimise an Apartheid-nostalgic, Sieg-Heiling, drug-fuelled narcissist by lending my weight to his right wing propaganda platform, knowing that he minimises my reach anyway.

Each to their own though, I suppose.

Our flag does not belong to one creed or to one race. It belongs to one people, the British people.

We will not let our flag be used to intimidate.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok.

They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post.

They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets.

“Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

If you have a problem with ABC's Jimmy Kimmel *correctly observing* that the guy who fired at Charlie Kirk was raised his whole life in a far-right—and eventually MAGA—family, but have no problem with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade saying that all homeless people should "just be killed," FUUUUUUUUUCK YOU.
