Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate for Torridge and Tavistock and Social Worker, so no surprise that I am interested in what people think and their experiences of life
This year has shown the real impact of practical, values-led policy to deliver change across the country and in our communities.

Trump is fleecing our NHS and trying to kill our BBC with pathetic billion dollar lawsuit, whilst Farage looks on, quietly taking over £400,000 from rivals GB news and plotting the privatisation of the NHS.
Starmer’s Trump Tax is a disaster for our NHS and for patients. Billions of pounds will be plundered from hospitals and GPs to pay big American pharma, all to please the White House.

What on earth is Labour playing at?

Oh the irony, Farage missed todays vote and so did Sir Geoffrey Cox.

The Mirror newspaper reminds us how much the Tories used covid as an opportunity to for their friends.

🇷🇺 Putin’s goal was to weaken the EU 🇪🇺
🇷🇺 Russia is known to fund far-right groups in Europe.
🇬🇧 Brexit - part of the plan to weaken the EU.
💸 Gill - associate of Farage was jailed for taking Russian bribes
🪙 £9 million gifted to Reform by billionaire - links to crypto currency used to launder

Farage has been dismissing evidence of Russian ties to the Salisbury Novichok attack since 2018 🧐

Of course if Farage gets in, it can all be privatised and we all pay much more for drugs.
This is a Trump shakedown of the NHS that nobody voted for.

The government will divert billions of pounds away from frontline NHS services- all on the whim of a foreign president

They must put the deal to a vote in Parliament.

Heading back to the by-election in Winkleigh for more photos with activists!

Why? Well maybe if you know the outcome, you may not want people to know.
If Nigel Farage wanted to investigate Russian infiltration into Reform, he’d have done it already.

It’s time the Prime Minister launched a national investigation.

Does anyone know how many Reform councillors have either been kicked out or resigned or are currently suspended since May? I think we are up to 40 now.

I really would like parliament to hold a inquiry because I would not be surprised if Russia is influencing some MP’s. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

@dominicmartin.bsky.social many congratulations on your re-selection

So Brexit has made us poorer with less jobs, less investment and less ability to create. Still we took back our boarders ( which we never lost) and kept the tax loopholes so thats worth it isn’t it !
"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

How long before someone writes in the comments that it was someone else’s fault.
The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.

Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

If leaving the ECHR would never stop the boats why are the Protagonist pushing for this ?

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and take our money. And Nigel Farage is egging him on.

All true patriots should tell them both: hands off our BBC.
