There has got to be loads there the LDs can use. The "getting the roof fixed" party is not a bad start. #liberaldemocrats
The Tories used to care about things like the church roof. That kind of thing used to win them elections. Weird how someone can be so close to getting it and get so very far away.
🚨 NEW: Kemi Badenoch acknowledges the existence of the Lib Dems
- Considers them a “protest party for mainly people on the left”
- "They are not on Twitter, but they are in local communities"
- "They will destroy the whole country..."

Thoughtful piece that exposes the hypocrisy Of Vance's Munich speech, well worth reading.
Have written about JD Vance’s Munich speech. In what may prove to be the biggest week for European security since 1991, it’s time Europe listened to what Trump and his Vice President are telling us. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...
We need to listen to what Trump and Vance are telling us.
This may have been the biggest moment for European security since 1991.

Substack needs a single subscription where you get credits , which you can then spend across the platform. @annettedittert.bsky.social
I think it’s high time for all those substackers to get together and publish something like a joint venture. We used to call this a newspaper. There’s now way even I can afford to follow you all separately. 😅
Don't hate me but I've started a (free) substack. A sort of political journal to try and make some sense of it all. So here is the first one- why Farage may yet emerge from this humiliating day in a stronger position than before.
