It’s time to chainsaw the Brexit red tape and end the cost of living crisis. Labour MPs should back our plan for a new customs union.

Oh for god’s sake. People may as well vote Reform UNLESS you offer them an alternative. Quite sickening to see a Labour government kowtowing to the Farage brigade like this. Lib Dems are the real antidote to Reform 💛💛💛
This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Our hospitality sector is on its knees & many people feel it's unaffordable to go out to a restaurant or pub.
That’s why we @libdems.org.uk are calling on the Government to cut VAT by 5% in the Budget - to boost footfall, support local businesses and inject life back into our hospitality sector. 🍽️🍻

There's 30 on this one patch on the slip road off the Central Motorway alone 🤣

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?
