🔴 NEW - At the same time that Nathan Gill was taking Russian bribes, the British far-right was travelling regularly to Moscow.

Paul Golding even met “Vladimir Putin”…

The time when Britain First met Vladimir Putin*

The far-right has long flirted with Russia

The best way to defeat Reform is for millions of people to hear a version of this message:

"Farage's Brexit made you poorer. Don't let him do it again"

Cafes, restaurants across Chicago put up signs barring immigration agents

This is how Farage and Tice reacted at PMQs when someone raised the issue of one of their politicians accepting bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Apparently it’s funny to be a traitor.

40% of hospices in England are preparing to cut services or stop end of life care in 6 months. They're at breaking point.

I’ve seen this first-hand as our own Dorothy House faces a severe funding shortfall.

That's why we Lib Dems are calling on the Government to support their vital work.

Over 55,000 people have called on the government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights, standing against a reckless push to repeat the mistakes of Brexit. Today their names were handed in, a reminder that this country still believes in cooperation, justice and the rule of law.

Today @willierennie.bsky.social and I have written to the Scottish Government to express our deep concern over reports that the NICUs at Ninewells Hospital and Kirkcaldy’s Victoria Hospital could be downgraded or closed.

We’re urging them to rethink these plans.

It's good to take stock and realise mortality is real and deal with each day as it comes.

It's strange really! About 10 months ago I reckoned myself a healthy guy in my 70s. I did bowel screening. Within a few days I was no longer healthy but on the cancer pathway.
Afraid? Yes. Calm? Yes.
