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.
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?

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.

So why don’t you support those who do fight back? Ed Davey is taking risks so you don’t have to!

Not only did he stop the War between the Clingons and the Federation on Star Trek he played a lead role as Jabber the Hutt in Star Wars.

“To conquer a country, first conquer its secret service.” 
Lavrentiy Beria knew this well.
When Farage freely amplifies Russian propaganda without consequence, it raises a troubling question: who is shielding him—and why?

No idea what IHT has to do with it. It's a long term aim because it won't be a quick process. The LibDems and Greens are the only parties to have said Remain and then Rejoin consistently. Labour still insisting that Brexit can be modified to be 'good'. It can't.

GB News’ recent Trump interview was outrageous - completely biased and full of lies. And GB News didn't challenge him ONCE. Ofcom MUST investigate them for breaching its rules. Sign now if you agree.

Great to meet Sir Vince Cable yesterday who gave a talk on his new book 'Eclipsing the West', which provides insight into the rising economies of China and India and its likely impact on established Western Economies. @libdems.org.uk

The same as about 100 Typhoon fighters that could protect us against Russia.
Johnson was Putin’s secret weapon- even if he didn’t know it.

Putin’s fear was never NATO it was his own people travelling to the EU and seeing how people lived in prosperity and freedom. Putin then set about trying to wreck the EU using easily corruptible people like Farage, Johnson, Bannon and Trump aided now by Musk.
Bexit was Putin’s plan .

Farage says he’s sending an army to Scotland to win the council elections.
How do my Scottish pals feel about that?
