Nadhim Zahawi would be frightened to live in a country run by Nigel Farage.

The Liberal Democrats have long backed electoral reform and support bringing in a form of proportional representation, which they feel would more fairly reflect people's votes. 👍👍👍

I'm no fan of this 'Labour' government, but the blatant media bias is really worrying.
The wrongful release of prisoners happened 800 times under the Tories.

The media bias and lack of reference to any past is just hideous.

Thames Water is now controlled by two US credit powerhouses: Silver Point Capital and Elliott Management.

Their game - asset stripping, profiteering, slick PR, devour; to get high returns.

Govt can put an end by bringing water into public ownership, but refuses. People's misery to deepen.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

"Lib Dems plan to force vote on replacing Lords with elected upper chamber"

On Wed Labour has a vote on finally getting rid of the 92 places reserved for hereditary peers AT LAST.

But LibDems want an amendment to abolish the ridiculous House of Lords and replace with an elected chamber
