This, here, is presumably one of the big reasons the ECHR was introduced in Europe?

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Either that was interesting editing in the kitchen, or Joe Mahler already knows who the #celebritytraitors are, surely?

Liberal Democrats @libdems.org.uk · 17h

We will stand strong where others back down. We will not pander to Reform.

We will fight to protect our environment, stand up for decency and the rule of law, and stop Trump’s America from becoming Farage’s Britain.

If you share those values, now is the time to join the Liberal Democrats.

Ed Davey writes to disillusioned conservatives:
Dear friends,

Our country is at a crossroads.

The Conservative Party under Kemi Badenoch is becoming more extreme and out of touch, chasing Nigel Farage instead of focusing on the issues that really matter to people. Meanwhile, Reform UK is growing in strength - threatening the tolerant, decent values that hold our communities together.

I know many One Nation Conservatives are deeply concerned about the lurch to the hard right in our country and under Kemi Badenoch’s leadership. Her plans to tear up the Climate Change Act and withdraw from the ECHR show she is abandoning traditional British values of tolerance, decency and the rule of law.

So my message to the millions of One Nation Conservatives who feel let down by their party and reject the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage is to come and join us. Help us save our country and defend the values we all hold dear.

We will stand strong where others back down. We will not pander to Reform. We will fight to protect our environment, stand up for decency and the rule of law, and stop Trump’s America from becoming Farage’s Britain.

So if you share those values, now is the time to join the Liberal Democrats.

With best wishes,

Ed Davey

Our media lets us down badly :

Labours accomplishments - rarely mentioned

Nigel Farage’s house - dropped/ignored

Nathan Gill’s admission of working for Russia - zilch

Russia/Iran funding Reform/Farage - silence

Instead they spread lies on the Budget/MPs/anything to discredit Labour

Why????

This is probably one of the most important video's I will ever post.

Are we living in a Democracy?

The Labour Party, the Home Office and Keir Starmer have lost their idiotic zionist minds.

Arrested for holding the cover of a newspaper.

What is this country coming to.

Well done for staying away from the treasury role! And also for getting the website sorted.
Apparently AI can create a website in minutes, but getting a pro in seems the right thing to do (even if they then use AI to make it even better!)

This definitely seems to be the case!

Dr Caz 🌳🔶🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @drcj.bsky.social · 17h

And yet Badenough was saying only today that Tories are on the side of farmers?
Seems not so much...

Fantastic! Good luck tomorrow.

I have only had to do a CV for a contracting job within my own company, but it was good to update it.

I'm treasurer of 2 local community groups, but they just wanted someone who new their way around a spreadsheet, and were pretty desperate so didn't ask for a CV!

that must be really peculiar. a good excuse to do nothing, and, as you say, eat cake. Hope your tooth feels better soon too!

At least you'll be able to see the cake and custard 😜
Hope you can see fully soon.
Were the injections painful at all? Not sure I'd like injections in my eyes.

And presumably increasing stamp duty would increase house prices?
From a straw poll (watching prices in a holiday town I'd like to move to), it appears that since 2nd home stamp duty and council tax increased, house prices have decreased.
I think prices increased during the Covid stamp duty cut?

I think you have Badenoch rattled.
She didn't dare mention you or your party in the "who else is there?" part of her conference speech today.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Just when I thought I couldn't love Bob Ross more, the people who guard his legacy go & do this in his name. 🫶

Local media plays such an important role in informing people. Rupert Murdoch knew this. It's why he owns 99.9% of all in Queensland & much everywhere else.
