We lost Charles Kennedy ten years ago today.
A decade on I will campaign with his spirit in my heart
I/we WILL stand up for liberal values, even if it’s to stand up to our own in the process, and I/we WILL change hearts and minds via the grassroots and up.

It is a weird moment. To walk past the places I had historically slept on.
It’s one I’ve never really processed. So this is bloody lovely to be seen by those who know and love me, because I wasn’t even allowed to discuss it.
Finding my voice now. For those who want to listen

Happy birthday Andy Partridge, 72 today
One the best songwriters & performers of pop. Even though we only got to sample a tiny percentage of his talents as he was forced to discontinue due to his mental health.
Despite his shortened tenure AP has given us a technicolour palette of wit for decades

Final call reminder for anyone who's a member of the Liberal Democrats: this is the last evening for voting in the internal elections!
(Relief on the horizon for non Lib Dems as I'll soon stop posting about internal election cycles for another three years).

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

Absolutely can’t wait to hear the Labour Party take a fair position on the BBC
I’ve just heard Farage defend Russia, and call the bbc woke fascism. Can’t wait to hear the “left” government take a grounded and appropriate response

14 - Erling Haaland has 14 goals in 11 Premier League games this season - the second-most any player has scored in their team's first 11 games of a season in the competition, behind only Haaland himself in 2022-23 (17). Unstoppable.
