A young carer called it "the safety net we always wished existed".

Ming Campbell was a dedicated public servant and a true Liberal giant.
His principled leadership opposing the Iraq War was a mark of his morality, courage and wisdom.
But more than that, he was an incredibly warm and caring friend and colleague.
We will miss him terribly.

Bend for a friend is not a good look. It will be intriguing to see what the prime minister has signed us up for. Has he done an impact assessment on UK farms and industries. Is 25% tarriffs on steel sustainable. So many questions after this Bill and Ben sketch!

The cost of bringing Thames Water into public ownership?
@ewanmg.bsky.social explains for @cmmonwealth.bsky.social that
- the law says about £0
- the private shareholders should actually be paying US to be brought into public ownership, after all the damage they've done 👏👏👏

Time to take water into public ownership?
Nationalisation is the only way to fix the crisis in the water industry
Despite the damning evidence the government is clinging on to private ownership of water, which has fleeced customers for 36 years.

How many Cllrs has Reform lost (so far)?
Reform has lost 9 Cllrs from the May local elections. Donna Edmunds, Luke Shingler, Desmond Clarke, Andrew Kilburn, Wayne Titley, Mark Broadhurst, Adam Smith and John Bailey. One wonders if the selection process carried out by the Spoons is fit for purpose
