Barrister. Dad. Lib Dem. Sunderland fan. Like a pint. One day I will make a load of pogs with Brian Noble’s face on them. You see if I don’t.
Went to my first Sunderland game this season (not as easy to get there as often as I like what with living in Chester) and what an awesome game! So impressive that we kept our heads and found a way to win in difficult circumstances. Really impressive football! Great to be there with my amazing wife!

Had a chat this morning with a chap who refused to acknowledge Brexit’s role in increased illegal immigration.

We shook hands and left as friends, which is important, but agreed to profoundly disagree.

Sometimes the facts can be terribly inconvenient for an argument can’t they?

Tories - wish they were Reform

Labour - terrified of Reform

Greens - as mad as Reform (pulling out of NATO Zack? Really?)

Lib Dems - Called out Reform’s lies whilst Farage bends the knee to Putin & Trump. Unapologetic in standing for principles that are truly British.

Stop Farage. Vote Lib Dem.

At first glance I genuinely thought this box was labelled “Christmas decs: not evil”

Great morning in Saighton Camp with fellow Christleton and Huntington Lib Dem
Team member Chris Ward asking residents what matters to them where they live. We’re going to be visiting the whole of the estate over the next few weeks so if you see us please come and say hello! 🔶🔶🔶

Shame on Chris Philp. Using the horrendous attack in Huntington as cover to promote his thinly veiled dog whistle politics is a disgrace. Last time I checked the East Coast Mainline wasn’t a ‘crime hotspot area’. Make no mistake, his reference to stop and search is because the suspect is a black man

How about Celtic stops wasting everybody’s time and just makes the sensible choice.

Cometh the hour….

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for Andrew without the Epstein files actually been published he’s managed it!

In PR terms I believe this is called ‘profoundly suboptimal’.

Whatever action the government can take to strip him of his remaining privileges surely they must take now?

Next time you get a Labour leaflet with a bar chart through your door remember that the good people of Caerphilly got this scientifically bob on literature during the recent by-election.

I don’t know how the populace weren’t inspired to vote by a picture of a man with a brolly. Inspiring stuff.

Zia Yusuf can spin this as much as he wants but that is not a close result. If you looked at the polls you may have thought this was neck and neck. A 3,848 majority is not neck and neck.

I'm no fan of nationalists but voting for change and against Reform. That I can get behind.

A lot to unpack.

My mate has just pointed out to me that the date they go to in the future in Back To The Future was exactly 10 years ago.

I find that fact both geekily interesting and profoundly upsetting in equal measure.

Love this from the #nokings protests in the USA this weekend

Swings and roundabouts innit Lozza?

The Lord giveth with the racists but taketh away with the paedophiles. Tale as old as the hills.

What a profoundly strange little man.

@safc.com you utter utter bastards. This is absolutely lush, I’m inevitably going to buy it and then I’m going to have to explain to the wife just how this constitutes a necessary purchase. I don’t need you to help me get in trouble. I can do that all on my own.

So what was it Nige? Were you incompetent, corrupt, complicit in borderline treasonous acts or a heady combination of all 3?

Personally I think he is obviously corrupt and probably an outright traitor but I might be wrong. He might just be negligent in his job.
October 10, 2025 at 1:55 PM
Oh my goodness this is really very, very, VERY bad isn't it? Like just SO VERY BAD!

lol.

There were a lot of The Thick Of It gifs that could have applied but I think this one captures the mood...

Contrast the headline in the Daily Mail (see last post) with the email that Lib Dem party members have just received.

Hatred, division and anger only win if we let them. Don’t let these liars tear us apart. Stand together with love, tolerance and respect. They cannot beat that.
