Bloody hell!!! The #LibDems WANT moderate #Tories to join their party??? 😮😮

Looks like they've become part of the establishment too, along with #Labour & #Reform.

Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey has written an open letter to One Nation Conservatives who feel abandoned by their party urging them to join the Liberal Democrats, following Kemi Badenoch’s conference speech today

Full text of the letter:

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

Ahmad Khdeirat, a 22-year-old Palestinian detainee, has died in at the hands of Starmer's Israeli handlers after months of hunger, low blood sugar, and scabies. Rights groups say he’s the 78th Palestinian to die in Israeli prisons since the war began.

I grew up in Lozells, just a stone’s throw from Handsworth.

Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.”

This is white-supremacist thinking dressed up as “legitimate concerns”.

I grew up in Lozells, just a stone’s throw from Handsworth — where much of my family still live and where I went for sixth form. It’s a proud, diverse, working-class community.

Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.”

This is white-supremacist thinking dressed up as “legitimate concerns”.

The political and media establishment normalises this racism, but we won’t stay silent. We stand with all our communities and against the far-right.

This 👇

All the establishment parties have shifted towards the #right, some further than others.

And it's because of this we MUST stop voting for them.

Thank god for the #GreenParty, giving us hope under #ZackPolansi.

The Tory Party is currently morphing into the Reform Party whilst Labour has already morphed into the Tory Party!!

This is the establishments answer to a demand for change in British politics…

Parties are discredited, therefore they just change their names and lurch to the right a bit more???

Indeed, the Tories first & now Labour. Both unpopular.

Agreed, but not only is it dishonourable, it's deceitful too. Why hide the fact it's Labour??

Kevin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺💚 #VoteGreen @kevbro1969.bsky.social · 12h

I'll leave you to your view, as we'll not agree. Some independents could be centrists or r/w. I'd not want to take that risk when there are genuine l/w people out there.

Kevin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺💚 #VoteGreen @kevbro1969.bsky.social · 12h

Exactly!

Kevin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺💚 #VoteGreen @kevbro1969.bsky.social · 12h

Same, plus Turn Left, Left Foot Forward & The Canary for me too. I still read The Guardian, but they're a bit wishy-washy these days. The rest of the MSM is an absolute no-no, unless you want r/w propaganda!

Agreed, my mother (83) is staunch Labour - but old school Labour. She disagrees with Starmer 100%. However Welsh Labour are not as bad as the national party, but bad enough IMHO.

Agreed, definitely shady - but that is what to expect from the establishment parties. There is nothing on this leaflet tiny or otherwise to indicate who their party is.

I think you're absolutely right, but we must keep fighting where there's hope. And with #ZackPolanski, that's exactly what we have. 💚

I went to @greenparty.org.uk conference - and unlike Labour, didn't get the boot.

But will the Greens succeed in convincing Labour voters - and what about the threat of Farage?

This channel should never be allowed, but no doubt the useless & weak #Ofcom will continue to turn a blind eye the lies & #FarRight bias it spews.

#GBNews is nothing other than a propaganda channel.

Ofcom is now facing calls to impose sanctions on GB News

Interestingly, my local #Labour MP, #AlexMcIntyre, has distributed leaflets in a #Green colour. Conveniently, he seems to have omitted any mention of the party he represents! 🙄

Didn't the #Tories do the same before the last GE? It's a bit decietful, IMHO.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social

A leaflet from Labour MP, Alex McIntyre in a green colour similar to the Green Party's colour. He fails to mention which party he represents.

The #Tories could have saved money by hiring a portaloo for their conference.

Well, they talk enough shit....!

People aren't flocking to the Tories' conference...
