I have now deactivated my account with the right wing sesspit that is X. On top of everything my account there was hacked. That was the final straw. Could I please apologise to anyone who received a hacked email from me.

Liberal Democrats are proud to fight for British farmers who are essential to Britain's food security and to our environment.
Today, the Chancellor must axe the appalling family farm tax AND stop the cuts to farm incomes after the Conservatives botched the new payments scheme.

Today’s Budget is a chance to put people first.
The Liberal Democrats are calling for an emergency plan to give immediate help to households and high streets.
We’ll be scrutinising every line of the budget to ensure it delivers the fairness and support people need.

I've just signed the Liberal Democrats' 'Fix Britain's Trade' petition and think you should too.
They want to turbocharge our economy by forming a Customs Union with the EU, tearing down the trade barriers and red tape holding us back.

Cutting schemes like ECO with no plan to replace them will not help the 6.1 million households living in fuel poverty.

Another Budget.
More stealth taxes.
Still no plan for growth.
Local families, businesses and farmers across Ely and East Cambs deserved better. I’ll keep fighting for fairer funding for our services and real investment in our local economy.

Steady hands on a sinking ship. Today’s budget was for two audiences: fractious backbenchers and our fiscal overlords. A few progressive tweaks, but ultimately, a missed opportunity for substantial reform and the change this country needs.

The Lead's budget verdict: technocratic tweaks to a broken system
Lifting the two-child benefit cap is welcome, but Rachel Reeves' tax and spend plans fall far short of the financial shake up this country needs

Some of those Campaigners being the Lib Dems. Let’s acknowledge that the Labour Party was embarrassed into the change by a broad decency consensus.
