Absolutely colossal night of success for the Lib Dems.

In the 10 byelections, the LDs have gained from the CONs, GRNs, INDs and LAB, with a narrow loss to REF by 31 votes in Babergh.

Scoreboard: LD 7, REF 1, CON 1, IND 1.

I assume the media will cover this as breathlessly as every opinion poll?

Torsten Bell, if using such poor language, is just a poor attempt to be dismissive of a Ed now perceived as a threat.

I live for the day we have collaborative politics rather than school yard behaviour

Roll on electoral reform!!!!

At #libdem conference and proposed an amendment to F8 policy that means that 111 calls made to the #NHS would never take longer than three minutes to get through.

The guarantee is an important reassurance, especially during times when demand for 111 is at its peak.

Today marks International #DemocracyDay.

Democracy matters - and it cannot be taken for granted.

Our voting system leaves swathes of people feeling powerless and fuels disillusionment, which can have dangerous consequences.

Change can't wait. We need #PRnow.
On International Day of Democracy I'm calling for Proportional Representation.

100% agree. Free speech thrives when it coexists with accountability, ensuring that no voice causes harm to the broader social fabric.

It becomes intimidation when it escalates to incitement to violence, hate speech, harassment, or the creation of a hostile environment that causes distress.

It’s appalling to see police officers come under attack at the Tommy Robinson rally. Those involved should be held accountable through the full force of the law.

I despair, this type of rhetoric is so dangerous.

Child vaccination rates have dropped in the UK, leading to increased outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases like measles and polio. Factors contributing to this incl. disruption from the pandemic, a rise in vaccine misinformation and hesitancy

So many Labourites on here, saying that if you disagree with Rayner's actions it's solely because you hate women and the working class...

I don't hate women. I'm a gay man. I abhor misogyny and any form of bigotry.

I'm working class.

Weaponising her gender and supposed social standing is rubbish.

Read the room, then lead the room.

I will not be dragged to the right by media hysteria over immigration. It remains an issue which demands respect and compassion.

The government must take care not to join the Conservative Party and Reform UK in the abyss.
