Nice to see Michael Heseltine’s hair back in the Commons.
First the likes of Farage said we needed to leave the EU. Now they’re coming for the ECHR.

Paul Kohler MP: "It feels like Brexit déjà vu with the same hollow promises of taking back control, the same disregard for facts, the same blindness to consequence."

Well thanks guys - good to know you don’t give a shit about wildlife.
Last night, Peers voted against Swift bricks: rejecting a simple, proven way to help one of our fastest declining birds recover. ❌

We share @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social's disappointment & frustration.

The vote came late, but with government refusing to back it, its fate was already sealed.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.

At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

‘This isn't like a criminal defence lawyer defending a bank robber in court. It's like a lawyer threatening witnesses with defamation claims if they report that a robbery is happening’
NEW: Britain’s top libel firm, Carter-Ruck, acted for OneCoin - a $4bn crypto-fraud.

The firm threatened whistleblowers, journalists, regulators, and even the police.

Carter-Ruck's work helped the fraud continue as long as it did.

Was that a crime?

#BBC and most #MSM are culpable.
Ed Davey, "It's so frustrating, so infuriating that Nigel Farage gets such an easy ride from the media"

"As he lies, as he divides, the BBC and others given Farage so much time and attention"

"But they never hold him to account for all the damage he has already done"

"The damage of Brexit"

👇🏻 is what we are all thinking.
Lib Dems: We have 12x Reform's MPs, can we have the same coverage?

BBC: But Reform has 2x your poll rating. If there were an election tomorrow, they'd be running the country.

Lib Dems: So you're putting their people and policies under scrutiny, right?

BBC:

Lib Dems: Right?

‼️ We need to come together and act before it is too late.
‼️ ‘We need to try to understand why they believe the far right’s lies, counter those lies, and offer a genuine alternative for ordinary people; otherwise, we will be in the US’s shoes with Farage at the helm.’

Libraries are meeting places. Books, information, education, quiet or chatty as required but mostly places for people.
Democracy is under attack worldwide. Only education can save it.
Please fight for your local library. 🙏
