The ECHR is a British creation that protects us all.
While other party leaders talk about leaving it, rewriting it or watering it down, Liberal Democrats stand firm.

Absolutely. Shame on you, Labour.
Keir Starmer, on high net migration: "The damage this has done to our country is incalculable."
I would venture that it is rather Labour that are doing the incalculable damage to our country by acting as the midwives for a Reform government in 2029.
They will never be forgiven if it happens.

Disgusting. Labour Party supporters no longer have a home under this vile, pathetic, Reform tribute act. So disappointed. So disgusting.

Sweaty Nigel really doesn’t like being challenged, does he.
Farage insists the gov't must put a cap on immigration. But when asked to define his own cap...

Starmer: this is "incalculable damage"
I've just come from the hospital where my mam is at the moment having had a fall. The staff are Indian, Pakistani, African, Filipino, Irish, Spanish etc. in fact the hospital had an enormous drive to get people from the Philippines to move here to work.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.
That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.
Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

By almost every economic & financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK - the Office for Budget Responsibility says it will reduce the UK's potential GDP by 4% in the long run by lowering the trade intensity of the economy & its latest report lays bare its catastrophic impact on trade
Imagine the shock for the Deputy leader of Reform UK when he finds out “the greatest act of self harm ever inflicted on a nation” was in fact Brexit

Consideration of a youth mobility scheme with the EU is apparently mocking Brexit (heaven forbid)

How small and mean and backward.
A deeply pathetic mindset that condemns this country to shitscreekville.
