The Tories left our A&E services to rot and under Labour's watch things have only gotten worse.

We have a real plan to end the crisis of corridor care and 12-hour A&E waits

BREAKING NEWS:

#KemiBadenoch has removed #RobertJenrick from the shadow front bench, and suspended him from the #Conservative Party, on the grounds of being presented with "irrefutable evidence" that he planned to defect to #Reform UK in a manner most damaging to the Conservative Party.

If you believe Roy Jenkins deserves to be an option for Lib Dem membership cards, then please join me in trying to convince the @libdems.org.uk to put #RoyOnTheCard.

Step one to honouring the memory of #RoyJenkins - having him added to the membership card options!

Email Lib Dem Help (help@libdems.org.uk) and request that he be added!

Free speech isn't a defense for inciting violence, undermining democracy, hate speech or promoting medical misinformation.

Much of the content promoted on X is dangerous and unethical.

Todayโ€™s U-turn on digital ID was on the cards from the day it was haphazardly announced without any narrative or strategy to bring those who opposed it on side. Its faults were clear: a colossal amount of time, money and effort for a product whose benefits were dubious at best.

This U-turn proves beyond all doubt that Labour announced their digital ID card scheme without a clue on how they would go about implementing it. Now is surely the moment for ministers to drop the proposals entirely and use the funds for something more useful.

Check out my first Substack post, "The Cults of Certainty", where I dissect the rampant absolutism in beliefs and gross justifications on both the left and the right, and why we need to overcome it.

This is what I believe, too! I'm tempted to start a Roy Jenkins Society or a Jenkinsite group within the party, if that were possible!

Nadhim Zahawi was made Chancellor by Boris Johnson, only to call for a new leader a day later.

He backed Liz Truss as PM, before being appointed Tory Chair by Rishi Sunak, only to be sacked over his tax affairs.

His defection to Reform UK is another step in an eventful political career.

Farage backed Boris Johnson's disastrous Brexit deal and Liz Truss's catastrophic mini-budget.

No wonder heโ€™s welcoming Nadhim Zahawi, someone who enthusiastically supported both.

Another late night of votes including standing up for our farmers and family businesses.

My new Lib Dem membership card arrived!

While I'm gutted there isn't a Roy Jenkins card, Charles Kennedy is another of my political heroes, so I'm over-the-moon with this!

The reality is, Reform Voters probably won't care. Things like cognitive dissonance are part and parcel for them, so long as they get Farage into power, how they do it is irrelevant to them.
