They colour-coded the map. The bits in red are still being neglected, taken for granted, and left behind. #Merton and #Morden deserve the same better service our neighbors already have. Time for @mertonlibdems.bsky.social and making Merton a place we want to call Home.

Whilst Farage fathered, and the Tories gave birth to, Brexit, Labour was its nursemaid, telling the world they’d make it work🤦🏻‍♂️

The time has come to admit it was an act of national self-harm that must be reversed, beginning with an EU/UK Customs Union🇬🇧🇫🇲

72 MPs, and one very good Lib-Dog.
With Labour failing to deliver and the Conservatives in freefall, it falls to us to take on Reform and stand up for British values of decency, tolerance and the rule of law.

In 1911, “autism” was coined to describe withdrawal in schizophrenic patients. paracetamol wasn’t prescribed as an analgesic until the late 1940s

I’m old enough to remember when Conservative Party leaders believed in law and order.
Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?
