Donald Trump has made it his explicit policy to interfere in European politics and ‘cultivate resistance’ in the UK and elsewhere.
The government should include the US administration in the scope of its investigation.

Nigel Farage publicly promoted cryptocurrency Tether, and then received a massive donation from one of its major investors. The whole thing stinks.
That’s why @LisaSmartMP.bsky.social has written to the electoral commission calling for an urgent investigation. ⬇️

The botched Brexit deal is costing Britain £90bn a year. It's time to turbocharge our economy with a UK-EU customs union.

I am deeply sorry to hear of the death of a member of the UK Armed Forces in Ukraine.
My prayers are with their family. We stand with them and with Ukraine as they continue to resist Russia’s unprovoked invasion.

The only 'peace' which Russia will accept is one which carves up Ukraine's territory, destroys its sovereignty and turns it into vassal state for Putin to plunder.
We Europeans cannot let that happen.

Why is the Prime Minister ignoring his own Chief Economic Advisor, who recommended a Customs Union with the EU to boost growth?
Instead he's choosing to hike taxes in a cost of living crisis.

Tonight, the Liberal Democrats will be voting against the Government's appalling family farm tax.
The Conservatives threw farmers under a bus by botching the transition to the new payment schemes.
And now Labour are hammering farmers with a huge tax bill.
