@janeyislittle.bsky.social and I headed over to Swansea at the weekend. Helping @sam-bennett-libdem.bsky.social and his local team get out their blue letters.
It's time to bring back a Liberal Democrat Parliamentarian in Swansea.

The report in the Independent that Mandelson had failed security vetting was actually raised in the Commons by Lib Dem MP Rachel Gilmour on 16 September 2025
“a source from MI6 has reportedly claimed that they failed to clear Mandelson”
The Prime Minister says he found out on Tuesday
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.
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.
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
Really loved helping some Welsh Young Liberals in their mission to turn Swansea Orange, putting up posts across Swansea.
Nearly 12 more boards got up. Supporting @sam-bennett-libdem.bsky.social who is also a former Chair of the Welsh Liberal Youth.

Letter from Lib Dem MPs to Keir Starmer today calling on him to withdraw US access to UK air bases.
Liberal Democrat MPs have written to Keir Starmer today calling on him to withdraw US access to UK air bases. Donald Trump's latest shocking threats against Iran would amount to war crimes. The UK cannot be complicit.
Great to be campaigning along side Claire Young MP across Swansea today. Lots of lovely conversations on the door steps and got a great super board site up on a very busy main road. The momentum is growing in Swansea. 🔶🔶

"A state banquet? While he's bombing the hell out of Iran and people are dying all over the Middle East...?"
David Dimbleby, journalist and presenter, argues against King Charles' planned state visit to the US in April.

My beloved step mother Maureen has died. This is what she taught me about politics.

Graphic welcoming Councillor Kate Crawford to the Liberal Democrats in the London Borough of Ealing, featuring her smiling in a patterned outfit. A visual arrow shows a switch from Labour to the Liberal Democrats, with party logos included.
Welcome Kate!
Councillor Kate Crawford was a Labour Councillor for 28 years. She has left the Labour party and joined the Liberal Democrats in Ealing.
Unlike others who want to stoke division, we are the party that gets the job done.
Vote Lib Dem on May 7th for a local champion who’ll work to fix things for your community.
Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.
There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.
In a changing political landscape people are looking for politicians they believe understand the challenges that they face: www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...
A big Liberal Democrat welcome to Councillors Sandra Joy and Allan Jeffery who have joined the Liberal Democrats 🔶

By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe.
Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather
The Lib Dems want to shake up Whitehall. They are calling for a break up of the Treasury and its replacement with a new department of growth based in Birmingham. The most radical idea is that the growth department would set fiscal policies. That might be a very good idea if it opened up the space for productive cash injections with an acknowledgment that fiscal deficits are required to rebuild the social democratic space.
Praise for Lib Dem economic plans from The Guardian - buff.ly/T7m8h5S
Good job he hasn’t met my kids (male and female)
They would tell him exactly where to stick his opinions of their life choices!!
And not forgetting the reality of high debt, housing crisis, work-life balance etc
Being polite-misogyny rules in RefUk 😡😡

Thanks @sarahgreenld.bsky.social for joining to Gŵyr Abertawe today! #WinningHere @libdems.org.uk
While Labour drifts into Reform-lite rhetoric, the Lib Dems are the only ones having a grown-up conversation.
The best deterrent we could have is having a competent immigration system.
ICE murdered an unarmed man who was not resisting them on video and this is the BBC headline. This is a travesty and the BBC must do better.
How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops.
Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.
Lovely to meet Mr Thomas originally from Crynant his father was a liberal Councillor back in the War for Neath Rural Council. He is voting Liberal Democrat “without a doubt”

Trump is acting with impunity in Venezuela, sending a dangerous signal that leaders can be removed by force.
The PM must call an emergency UN Security Council meeting.
@calummillerld.bsky.social
CALUM MILLER QUOTE GRAPHIC TEXT: It's clear that this was never about the interests of the Venezuelan people or the wider world. This is Trump serving his own interests and ego, making the world far more dangerous in the process. Starmer must convene the UN Security Council to hold Trump to account.
Starmer must convene the UN security council to hold Trump to account.
Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela.
Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.
Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.
President Trump has shown, again and again, he can’t be trusted as a reliable ally.
The Prime Minister needs to stop hoping for the best and start dealing with reality.
