With the One Nation grave dug, sealed and steamrolled over by Jenrick & Badenoch, this is hardly surprising. (Notwithstanding LD average is still 3-4% below Tories.) But Green membership is growing at over 1,000/day… and Labour are currently polling at 17-22%.
There are people right across our country, who have voted Conservative all their lives, but are now switching to the Liberal Democrats.

I may be wrong but I’ve not seen anything at all from Starmer on the Peacehaven attack, certainly not on this platform where he has been keen to share condemnation of other attacks and hate crimes.
The UK’s paper of record, @thetimes, didn’t report on a hate crime against a UK #mosque — yet America’s @nytimes did. The firebombing of the #Peacehaven Mosque in Sussex was newsworthy abroad, but apparently not at home.

This is grim & dangerous over reach. This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent. Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.
NEW: Police forces will be granted new powers to put conditions on repeat protests, Shabana Mahmood says. The new powers, to be brought in asap, will allow senior officers to consider ‘cumulative impact’ of previous protests - and move them elsewhere. Home Secretary will

Daniel Levy on the plan that Palestinians must accept by Sunday. "Where granularity is needed around the specifics of timelines, withdrawal maps, verifications and guarantees for implementation, there is instead the same preposterous, vacuous notion of ‘trust Israel and

Diplomatically phrased, but nonetheless a stark warning to allies of the US direction of travel to brutality & barbarism under Trump and Sec of War Hegseth. “The UK also has a habit of egregiously copying US language in the mistaken belief it confers familiarity and influence.”
'Partners will need to be prepared for the use of US military power in a way that is deeply uncomfortable' writes @MTSavill in the latest #RUSICommentary.

Attacking a synagogue on Yom Kippur is not an attack on Zionism, it’s an attack on Judaism itself. There is no excuse and no forgiveness for killing innocent worshippers. Ever.

I repeat, and will keep repeating, the question: why is anyone listening to this lobbyist for tech billionaires and dodgy oil regimes? He's been that far longer than PM https://t.co/EO0UsmCbPE

Who really benefits from the former PM’s tech evangelism?
