With this government sometimes the only thing you can do is laugh.

Nigel Farage is trying to exploit Henry Nowak’s murder to divide people – exactly what Henry’s father asked us not to do. We need a different kind of politics that brings people together to stop knife crime.

336 70

Our democracy is under threat. From the Kremlin to Mar-a-Lago, powerful men are trying to destroy our great country. Our new laws would ban foreign money, block foreign ads, and stop tech giants like Elon Musk buying influence. We need action now. Only our party is offering it.

501 147

While Farage pockets millions as a "reward" for Brexit, the rest of us are left with soaring energy bills, political chaos and a broken economy. He only cares about himself and his wealthy donors. It is up to all of us to make sure he never becomes prime minister.

347 109

With Trump and Musk scrapping US international aid, and the PM making cuts to ours, what are the consequences? A dangerous Ebola outbreak in Central Africa. I asked the PM to rule out further cuts, he did not. Those competing to replace him as Labour leader must.

107 33

Tonight, Labour MPs face a simple choice on our King’s Speech amendment for a UK-EU Customs Union: vote to cut bills, boost trade and strengthen our security, or choose to continue the Brexit mayhem.

126 33

Our change is about building things up, not burning them down. Bringing people together, fixing what’s broken and changing Britain for the better.

102 13

We won every seat on Richmond upon Thames Council last week. But that doesn’t mean we’ve changed our mind on electoral reform. It’s time the Government stopped defending a broken system out of self-interest and backed proportional representation.

550 145

The NHS is central to the British way of life. The government must end the soap-opera politics and focus on standing up for our NHS. We need real solutions to cut waiting lists and a genuine commitment to fixing health and social care for everyone.

95 18

History will show Keir Starmer’s approach to Trump was one of his worst mistakes, making Britain poorer and less secure. We need more than vague promises. We need real action, starting with a new customs union with Europe.

121 26

This simply doesn’t cut it. Saying Britain should be at the heart of Europe means nothing if Labour keeps ruling out the very steps that would get us there. If Starmer thinks vague words on Europe will keep him in Number 10, he is badly mistaken.

306 71

You won't hear it from the media, but the Liberal Democrats just had an incredible set of results. We held off Reform, won more councillors than the Greens and trounced the Conservatives Right cross the country people are backing us to deliver the real change they deserve. 🔶

Everybody is flocking to the Liberal Democrats 🕊️ I am so proud of our incredible Scottish team led by Alex Cole-Hamilton. What a historic result!

103 11

Happy 100th birthday, Sir David Attenborough. Thank you for helping generations of us fall in love with our natural world, and inspiring so many to protect it for the future.

155 20

Liberal Democrats believe in empowering people: whether it’s carers who feel exhausted and unheard, families struggling to get support, or communities failed by water companies. It’s why we’ll continue to stand up to Nigel Farage as he tries to import Trump-style politics here.

123 28

People are fed up with being taken for granted by the two old parties. So tomorrow, the choice is clear in so many places: Reform’s Trump-style politics, or the Liberal Democrats who will fight for you and your community.

87 23

Something doesn’t add up here.

420 168

British values are worth defending. So are the institutions that protect us from authoritarian creeps like Donald Trump.

157 40

After being forced to sack Peter Mandelson for lying, is Keir Starmer going to sack his replacement Christian Turner for telling the truth?

71 17

British democracy is under greater threat than at any point in my lifetime. Trump, Musk and Putin are trying to destroy it from outside, while Farage and Reform are doing their best to import Trump’s divisive brand of MAGA politics here.

209 66

Four years ago, Keir Starmer said honesty, integrity and telling the truth matter in our politics. He was right then. He should remember it now.

78 18

Donald Trump has shown nothing but contempt for our country. Only Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage could think it’s a good idea to send our King to honour him with a state visit.

150 29

Foreign tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg should be paying more tax to tackle the harm their social media companies are doing, not getting a tax cut for backing Trump.

217 49

The Conservatives and Reform backed Trump’s idiotic war in Iran. Since then, it’s dragged down the economy, driven up inflation, and now the US is openly questioning British sovereignty over the Falklands. This is what sucking up to Donald Trump gets you.

328 81

Shared a dance with Joan today. 103 years young, and still the life of the party.

125 10

Donald Trump is full of hot air. And now he’s inflating your bills too. Unlike Reform and the Conservatives, we actually have a plan to bring them down.

109 26

I asked Keir Starmer: did he know his office was lobbying for a plum diplomatic job for Matthew Doyle, another Labour crony who was friends with a convicted sex offender? He conspicuously failed to answer.

81 14

This whole Mandelson mess started with Starmer trying to flatter and appease Trump. If the Prime Minister had stood firm with our allies instead, he might not be in this mess now.

192 40

The PM says the facts about Peter Mandelson’s appointment are “incredible”. He’s right. But what’s truly shocking is just how badly he's let the country down. He promised change after years of Conservative scandals and scapegoating. Instead, he’s delivered more of the same.

104 24

Nigel Farage's latest aping of Trump politics - promoting a crypto business which he himself has invested in. MPs must be banned from promoting financial products in this way.

304 106

If Keir Starmer lied about Peter Mandelson’s vetting, he has to go. Labour promised to clean up our politics now they're just as bad as the Conservatives

70 12

Trump’s idiotic war is making it painfully expensive just to get around. The Government needs to stop sitting on its hands and act. That's why we've put forward an emergency plan to keep Britain moving, whether you use a car, train or bus.

90 15

Last year Keir Starmer said Brits would "sail through" EU e-gates. The chaos this week shows that was a lie. Long queues at airports are the latest symbol of the Brexit disaster – and Labour’s failure to fix it.

171 43

Donald Trump is acting like a Mafia boss running a protection racket. "Nice trade deal you got there. Shame if something happened to it." This must be the final straw. We can't reward Trump with a state visit from our King.

320 81

No doctors? No development

49 7

Donald Trump is no leader of the free world. He’s a dangerous and corrupt gangster. The Prime Minister needs to call off the King’s state visit to Washington before it’s too late.

494 130

Donald Trump’s idiotic war has damaged the global economy and left British families and businesses suffering. A total disaster backed by Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage.

358 93

The Treasury is seeing a windfall from high fuel prices, while families and businesses are taking the hit. Instead of pocketing that extra cash, the government should give it back to the British people to keep our country moving.

93 29

Liberal Democrats get things done. We don’t do division. We do potholes and police officers, church roofs and clean rivers. We focus on the local issues that matter to you. Vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May.

172 45

Filthy sewage is still being dumped into our rivers, beaches and seas. Meanwhile, water company bosses pocket massive bonuses and hike up our bills. It’s time to end the great sewage cover up.

199 52

Donald Trump's latest shocking threats against Iran would amount to war crimes. The UK cannot be complicit. Keir Starmer must withdraw US access to UK air bases now.

378 107

Wishing everyone a happy and hopeful Easter. Hope you get to spend today with family, friends and the people who matter most.

179 12

Nobody should ever feel scared about having a baby. But right now, for so many families, the maternity care crisis is turning what should be the happiest moment into a time of real fear. We have a plan to fix it.

75 18

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage cheered on Trump’s illegal war in Iran, and now we are all paying the price at the pump. We want to cut Fuel Duty by 10p to save families 12p a litre and keep Britain moving.

95 20

Trump has insulted Britain and insulted our troops – and you can bet he’ll do it again. How can the Prime Minister still think Trump should be rewarded with a state visit from our King?

295 69

We can’t let dodgy donations poison our politics. I wonder if Nigel Farage agrees?

248 67

The government must finally proscribe the IRGC as terrorists. Antisemitism and those who fuel it have no place in our society.

59 13

Highly suspicious… Is Trump using his illegal war to enrich himself and his friends? This looks like corruption of the very worst kind.

308 84

Donald Trump is the most corrupt President in US history. Now it looks like him and his cronies may have used insider knowledge to enrich themselves while their war makes everyone else poorer.

472 187

We care about the people we serve, the communities we live in and the country we love. Today I launched our local election campaign with our amazing activists. Together we’re standing up for our local communities and against the politics of division. 🔸

98 27

We can build a better future for Britain, one based on hope, not fear.

159 33

Why are so few world leaders trying to bring an end to this conflict through a diplomatic solution? That would be in the interest of the British people, the Iranian people and all those around the world suffering the consequences of Trump’s illegal war.

160 45

To everyone celebrating across the UK and around the world, I want to wish you a very happy Eid. As the month of Ramadan comes to a close, may this time of celebration bring joy, reflection, and community to you and your loved ones. Eid Mubarak!

152 19

Why are we rewarding Donald Trump with a state visit from our King? His illegal war is driving up costs for British families and he is belittling our country and insulting our troops. Cancel the visit.

360 84

GB News has turned into the Reform channel. After a New World investigation found hundreds of breaches of the rules on accuracy and impartiality, Ofcom has failed to do its job and act. We've seen what Fox News has done to politics in the US. We can't let it happen here.

1,057 376

Shining a bit of light in dark times? Guilty as charged.

136 23

If the shoe fits… or doesn’t 👞

153 37

Britain’s defence cannot rely on Donald Trump or whoever comes after him. We need our own independent nuclear deterrent, built and maintained here in the UK.

187 33

The Conservatives and Reform cheered on Trump's war while British families and pensioners were left facing higher petrol, mortgage and energy bills. The Liberal Democrats do not support this war, and we won’t be silent about it either.

Let’s face facts, Badenoch and Farage want Britain to be the 51st state of Trump’s America. I do not.
