LibDem because I believe in equal opportunity for all regardless of just about everything. Like Rugby, Food, Cycling, my kids and grandchildren. I also trust science because science is always open to change if facts prove otherwise. Rejoin EU. PR.

Starmer’s biggest mistake was not sorting out the media as soon as he came into office sweeping out the Tories/Reform management at BBC revoked GBNews licence and made it a criminal offence to lie in public office and the media. Then sorted out Farage. He should be behind bars.

Really odd that Ed Davey is talking about this way more than Labour, who (you'd imagine) have far more access to any damning evidence (if such a thing exists).
What's to stop Starmer from simply asking the Security Services for the full dossier on Farage/Banks et al?

Brexit.
A prejudiced moronathon that will continue to damage our country until we’re brave/sane enough to admit it, demand accountability from those who insisted upon it and then, finally, start to fix it.

The Farageists are on 25%, while the two parties most clearly opposed to them, and most likely to take votes from Labour, the Greens and LibDems are on a combined 31%. That's a very important political story which has barely been noticed.
