Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

With no action from Grove Green’s 3 Labour councillors, Lib Dem activist @arranangus.bsky.social has stepped in, liaising with gas workers on Grove Green Road & pushing Waltham Forest Council to arrange a special bin collection for residents whose bins were missed due to the #roadworks.

A deeply touching moment in the House of Lords today.

Lib Dem peer @lynnefeatherstone.bsky.social spoke movingly today about her nephew, who died aged 35 from hepatitis C, and her sister, who campaigned for justice on the contaminated blood scandal for 40 years and passed away just weeks ago.

🚨 The government has announced a legal ban on smartphones in schools in England.

The Lib Dems have been pushing hard for this with Shaffaq Mohammed at the helm in the Lords. After meeting with head teachers and parents in parliament, we know the difference this will make.

Trumpflation is ballooning the cost of living.

All cheered on by Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch.

Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money.

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

Ukrainian officials have suggested that a part of the country’s Donbas region that Russia is still fighting for could be named “Donnyland.” The proposal reflects a global reality in which governments appeal to President Trump’s vanity to get U.S. might on their side. nyti.ms/4mFRllr

One voter in France received their postal vote the day AFTER the election.

Only 48% of overseas postal ballots were returned in time at the last General Election. Half our postal votes in the bin.

The Government's response? Start distributing ballots 3 days earlier.

That's no fix. That's a shrug.

Anduril, Palantir and SpaceX are changing how America wages war The Trump administration is cosying up to a clique of “neo-primes”

The Iran war may end up teaching America many lessons. One is the woeful economics of using traditional weaponry against cheap Iranian drones. Register for free to read how the government is turning to three defence upstarts for help

MASSIVE 600 ton Liebherr mining excavator converted from diesel to electric Lloyds Metals and Energy have successfully converted a massive, 650-ton class Liebherr R 996 excavators from diesel power to electric.

If a 600-ton excavator can be converted from diesel to electric, pretty much anything can.

And thanks to Dementia Don and the oil crooks pulling his strings, the world is now - finally - scrambling to break decisively with fossil fuels.

The Infected Blood Compensation Authority was meant to be life-changing for those affected by the scandal. Instead, many are yet to receive compensation or felt pressured to accept unsatisfactory offers.

I asked the Minister to meet to resolve my affected constituent's concerns.

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

Reform said they would pay my energy bills. They haven't Residents of winning street in Nigel Farage's fuel giveaway stunt complain they have missed out on prize

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬

This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸
