Britain will only find its place in the world when we restore our place in the EU. Without #ProportionalRepresentation we are pawns in a political game. #GetPRDone and we will no longer be ignored. We will be heard!

Last month Lib Dem’s won more council by-elections than any other party (16)

Yet once again BBC Questiontime doesn’t have a Lib Dem member on its panel, so once again it is a boycott from me

Since BBC Question Time returned from it’s summer break there has been 9 episodes of #BBCQT

A representative/mouthpiece of Reform U.K. has appeared on 5 of them:

Kruger - Nov 13
Goodwin - Oct 30
Dorries - Oct 23
Yusuf - Oct 9
Tice - Sept 25

So there is a clear bias to Reform, with just 5 MPs 🤷‍♂️
Oh look! 👀Surprise, surprise! 🫢
BBC Question Time are once again platforming Reform U.K. , who have just 5 MPs, but couldn’t find room for the Lib Dems with 72 MPs 😳
#LibDems

Yes there is a bias on some BBC political programmes and it’s quite clearly a Reform / right wing bias!

"All those Reform voters - let them ask Nigel Farage why he wants them to pay a licence fee to Donald Trump.”

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey pushes back on Trump’s $1 billion threat to the BBC, accusing Farage of “egging him on.”

Norway, Iceland, Switzerland & Liechtenstein are in the Single Market but not the EU. Andorra, Monaco, San Marino & Turkey have customs unions with the EU for certain sectors. I'd prefer our first step toward rejoining to be more like Norway or Switzerland than Turkey. That means Freedom of Movement

💥 For a new report, @demos-uk.bsky.social interviewed 700+ teenagers.

72.8% agreed: democracy must be defended at all costs. But many weren't happy with the way it currently works.

"Change the voting system" was proposed as one of the solutions. We agree.

All PMs are flawed but I think if you have no coherent vision, no ability to make decisions quickly, no humour or charisma when addressing the public, no strong roots in your party, no talent for charming MPs and no control over your own office, then you are unlikely to be able to turn it around

A simple rule of thumb: Any politician who proclaims to be pro-EU while avoiding supporting re-entry to the Single Market is afraid of mentioning Freedom of Movement. Many have been playing that game for 10 years, and pro-EU voters are wise to it. Anything without Freedom of Movement is still Brexit

“Donald Trump is a very common name, there could be dozens of them across the country. Maybe even hundreds, if you include the ones who legally changed their names for attention”

Apparently Mar-a-Lago & Ghislaine are also common names” according to Leavitt

“There are no plans to explore reforming the way peers are appointed to the upper chamber — a gift that currently sits in the hands of the PM. Starmer has used that power liberally, nominating 47 Labour peers since taking office” As Tim says “SURPRISE”!

The transition to a green economy has stalled. Our reset with the EU has stalled. Democratic renewal has stalled. The country is going nowhere.

Exactly what we need!

It's NOT what we're NOT - it's what we ARE!

Britain is something worthwhile and good to be part of! Let's keep on saying that what we are is something special!
What Britain desperately needs is a vision of what we as a country, are aiming to build. Starmer certainly isn’t providing that vision. Not being the Tories isn’t enough. There is a desperation to appear patriotic, even though there is little consensus on what it means. We need to talk about it!

Starmer must act to stop super-rich individuals using their wealth to fund TV channels that serve as propaganda platforms for their favourite politicians. GBNews is the super-rich buying political power. It is antithesis of democracy, and it must be made illegal.

"This is the wrong choice...Gibb isn’t fit to serve on the BBC Board, & the BBC Charter gives the Government the power to sack him." PM should step in, she says.
