There’s Hope for a tolerant UK
We are overtaking the Conservatives and on the cusp of overtaking Labour too.
More and more people are backing the Liberal Democrats to stand up to Reform and stop Trump’s America becoming Farage’s Britain.

Despite being hailed as a "breakthrough," the new UK-US trade deal offers limited immediate relief from existing US tariffs, with the majority of recently imposed taxes on UK goods remaining in place.

Congratu-BLEEPING-lations!
It’s time we had a little talk about your use of expletive infixation.
‘Expletive infixation’ is the linguistic term for profanity inserted into a word for emphasis.
(For this thread, we’ll use 'BLEEPING,' but feel free to substitute another word.)

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I’m beginning to think that Badenuf is as daft as Truss
Politics is about whose side you’re on.
Kemi Badenoch has just shown she is on the side of JD Vance rather than our brave armed forces and the families who’ve lost loved ones in conflicts over the past 40 years.

These old eyes have seen a lot of nonsense in their time and it seems they'll see some more still
There is a certain world weariness in @number10cat.bsky.social 's eyes these days. I did his round a few times, briefly stopped by, but I think he is confused and worried as the rest of us, about what the future may hold. Looking cute though. Hugs, Larry!

It's clear. Nigel Farage and his Reform bootlickers will never stand up for Britain if it means standing up to Donald Trump.
