Nothing to see here, just a GB News presenter suggesting the BBC bung Donald Trump a few million of license fee payers' money.
It’s sickening to see a U.K. broadcaster cheering on a hostile leader in his piratical attacks on our institutions.
A Christmas tree, a gift, but also a wonderful reminder of what countries can achieve when they help each other.

Continuous opinion polling isn’t healthy for democracy. It creates a sense of constant volatility, turns governing into permanent campaigning, & pressures governments to chase short-term approval rather than give policies time to work. Democracy needs judgment over time, not weekly popularity tests

I'm glad Keir Starmer has listened to our calls for this inquiry following the Reform Russian bribery scandal.

I don’t really understand why hospital trusts don’t request funding for convalescent wings in hospitals and communities. It would make it easier to discharge from acute medical care people who cannot yet return home. They cd be less acutely staffed but give people time to heal in suitable settings.

We're delighted that in our neighbouring constituency, Steve Hunt was elected to be a @libdems.org.uk @eastdevon.bsky.social councillor for #Seaton.
The previous councillor had been elected as a Conservative district councillor in May 2023 and then became independent.
