A “progressive” recently shared this with me. I don’t like it
I dislike right wing populism because it “others” immigrants and cultural elites
I also dislike left wing populism, which “others” people due to their economic status
Both are equally nasty perspectives. That is why I am a centrist.

So proud to be a Geordie
Newcastle says no to fascism.
The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance.

It's 10 months since I introduced a Bill into parliament for a youth mobility scheme with EU countries.
Since then we've had warm words but no action. Again we're short of detail.
I hope this isn't another damp squib because our young people deserve better.

Liberal Democrats are the only party standing up for Britain as a decent and caring country and taking on the divisive politics of Nigel Farage and the Conservatives.

We must all, regardless of political leaning, stand in joint condemnation of his comments.
No one, no matter how wealthy or powerful, should be allowed to get away with using their platform to incite violence.

The private family life of twice divorced Nigel Farage, who had children with both of his ex wives.... and now lives with his girlfriend.... is none of my business... just as the private family lives of everyone else are none of his.
Nigel Farage:
"Children who have two stable parents have a better chance in life... The most stable relationships, the ones that last the longest, tend to be between men & women... There's an awful lot of kids in the country not getting the kind of start... they deserve."
Farage has two ex-wives.
