So it's the end of Start. Let's hope it's not the start of the end.

This is very sad news. "Scotland is a better country because of Jim Wallace, and the Liberal Democrats are a better party because of his example". I will be one of many who will miss him. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Scotland's first deputy first minister Lord Jim Wallace dies, aged 71
The former Scottish Liberal Democrat leader was undergoing a procedure at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

#BBCLauraK After 2 weeks of Reform (Farage & Tice) she finally interviews Ed Davey but fails totally to discuss the LIbDems with her panel. She asks why LD membership not growing. Because she, BBC & right-wing press never give us a fair crack !

Officially #Trump is speaking to the world in Davos. In reality he's addressing his MAGA base as usual. Who else could believe anything he's saying ?

#Trump The lies continue. Does he know he's lying or is he just a fantasist ? Sadly he doesn't speak of the real world but dangerously he holds power in it.

Pass the sick bag ! #Trump is boasting again, in Davos as he did in Washington yesterday. Is he just selecting statistics or are they in fact fake ? I'd like to see a proper analysis of the US economy.

#Greenland Just listened to Rep. Andrew Ogles on #BBCNewsnight, the man who proposed H.R.361 - "Make Greenland Great Again Act" authorising Trump to negotiate to ACQUIRE Greenland. Ogles & people like him make me physically sick. Their notion of freedom and democracy does not extend beyond USA.

#Starmer Finally Starmer finds his backbone enough to say that Trump is wrong about something. About time.

I justheard today is World Logic Day. I guess this is one of the global institutions which Trump has withdrawn the USA from.

#bbclaurak Last week she interviewed Starmer. This week Badenoch. Foolishly I expected next week would be the leader of the 3rd party in parliament, Ed Davey. NO ! Next week she has the BBC's favourite person, bloody Farage ! As if he hasn't already had disproportiionate exposure by the BBC !

#Trump If you elect a proven liar, crook and bully as president, what do you get ? More lies, more fraud and ICE shooting innocent people and lying about it. If this stops me being allowed in the USA, your loss liars.

#R4Today Fair enough that Emma put to Ed Davey the right-wing case for Trump's actions, but she didn't need to repeat the deliberate Brexit mistake that the USA is Britain's largest trading partner. Only true if you count European countries separately. The EU is UK's largest trading partner.

Why is Labour giving Trump a free pass to break international law?

We know what happens when US Presidents launch illegal wars. It’s why the Liberal Democrats opposed the Iraq War and it’s why we condemn Trump’s law-breaking in Venezuela today.

#Venezuela Starmer and chums still too scared to criticise Trump over Venezuela. What a pathetic overnment we have !

#BBCLauraK As if the programme couldn't get worse, we're treated to the opinions of two famous failures, Shapps and Nadine Dorries. Shapps clings to the myth of competitive advantage outside EU.

#BBCLauraK Boring combination of inadequate interviewer and inadequate PM.
January 4, 2026 at 9:42 AM
#BBCLauraK Starmer stays stuck up Trump's arse, refuses to condemn attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of its president and pretends he needs more facts.
January 4, 2026 at 9:39 AM
#BBCLauraK New Year, same old mistakes. Voters leaving Labour for Greens and Reform, she says. Doesn't mention LibDems, as usual. Says leaving Single Market was part of Brexit.No, not in referendum but imposed by May & Tories. Says Free Movement is unlimited.No, read the bloody treaties.

#R4Today 3) Possible Reform gains in loacl elections. No mention that LibDems have won more local government by-elections than Reform.
January 3, 2026 at 8:50 AM
#R4Today 2) Keir Starmer in trouble despite enormous majority. No comment by BBC re electoral system. Parliamentary majority doubles actual popuar vote. He never was very popular.
January 3, 2026 at 8:48 AM
#R4Today I do wonder about the competence of their political commentators. 1) LibDems seek to outflank Labour to left by talking about Europe ? No, LD has always talked about Europe which does in fact outflank Labour.

#BBCListening to the news after Dead Ringers I have to remember that the satire is over and this is real news. Also the sketch of Emma Barnett interviewing someone was not very good. She didn't interrupt once !
December 19, 2025 at 7:08 PM
#BBCQT Sad but not surprised to hear Tory, Labour & Reform panellists responding to Trump's rubbish by talking about Europe as another pace from UK and failing to defend EU's action to help Ukraine.
