LibDem because I believe in equal opportunity for all regardless of just about everything. Like Rugby, Food, Cycling, my kids and grandchildren. I also trust science because science is always open to change if facts prove otherwise. Rejoin EU. PR.
Tories to Reform is a sewer filling a cesspit.
It stinks
and people are beginning to notice.

The Nobel Peace Prize holds true value only for the person it is awarded to. Honour cannot be bought; it must be earned.

Farage is an evil rat.
While Putin was murdering a British citizen, Nigel Farage was appearing on Russian state TV as a guest of the Kremlin—singing Putin’s praises 17 times. Now, with Reform Wales leader Gill jailed for 10½ years, can you honestly vote for Remain?

Obviously if you support Reform you won’t allow these facts to cloud your judgement.

Starmer says we have a £28 billion shortfall on defence spending.
Traitor Farage and coin operated Johnson caused a loss with Brexit of at least £40 billion (OBR, other independent sources say 90 billion ) in tax revenue. More than our entire defence budget.
Reform = Putin.

I am a LibDem member and town councillor. I spent years trying to get LibDems to use X when it was Twitter. I had 20k followers but left when Musk started his manipulation and suggested the party should exit too.
Now after Grok revelation that is essential. Leave Now!

At the moment U.K. and Europe spend more than 50% of their defence arms budget in U.S.. Spend the money here developing our own integrated weapons systems with the rest of Europe and Canada.

If China invade Taiwan this year Trump would have set a fire example with Venezuela.
We should be in no doubt that we have returned to the age where the big stick wins. If Europe, U.K. and other parliamentary democracies can’t work to counter the despots we will be wiped out.

If the main export of Venezuela wasn’t oil but cabbage would Trump have invaded?
January 3, 2026 at 6:39 PM
President Putin is a pathetic coward his murderous thugs killed this little girl and her whole family with deliberate gunfire in the first days of the invasion. I say millions of decent people would happily wipe him off the face of the earth.
Putin should be target number 1!
Get Putin!

Keir Starmer needs to stand up for the BBC against Trump's outrageous $5bn lawsuit and protect licence fee payers from being hit in the pocket.

Trump wants to interfere in our democracy and undermine our national broadcaster. We cannot let him.

I have voted Lib Dem in the past to get the Tories out and we have some good local Lib Dem councillors in my area. We need PR then Greens, Lib Dems etc could support each other on shared policies.
