Donald Trump post threatening Iran, saying “a whole civilisation will die tonight.”

After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice.

Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.

Four legs good, two legs bad...

Flying to Minneapolis tomorrow to cover the ICE raids for News Agents, what is unfolding and the politics which flows from it. If you’re there or know the city and know people/organisations we should be speaking to, please get in touch.
DMs open.

I think I'd have to have sent it back.

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.

Just make sure you don't release it a couple of hours early by mistake! 😀

Mockup cheque from The British Taxpayer to pay The Taliban £267,000,000, signed by Nigel Farage. Headline reads "Reform's Taliban Tax". Photo of Nigel Farage laughing.

Nigel Farage and the Reform Party’s Taliban Tax means sending hundreds of millions of taxpayers' money to an oppressive regime that British soldiers fought and died to defeat.

Reform isn’t a political party. It’s a corporate lobbying firm.

The business model is simple. Wealthy elites pay Farage to push policies that could make them millions.

4 infuriating examples:

Any idea how this would come out in terms of seats?

The local Reform party told people not to vote for him as he moved to China and wouldn't take up his position if elected.

Wahoo!

Upcoming Northants election result could end up at the high court The chief executive of North Northants Council and the boss of the Electoral Commission have different views on whether a Reform candidate is eligible in the Higham Ferrers election.

One of the candidates is also not valid to stand, according to the Electoral Comission, as she stood in another ward for the original 1st May election www.nnjournal.co.uk/p/upcoming-n...

To be fair he is front and centre of that photo and was in attendance at the first council meeting.

He's only 1 of 3 missing candidates at West Northants...

Good luck to all my fellow @libdems.org.uk friends and colleagues who are standing or supporting at election votes today. I hope you slept more than me!

2025 Local Elections Expected Declaration Times:

Probably best to get an early night on Thursday, with no councils expected to be fully in before 7am.

That being said, 4 of 6 Mayoral races will be counting on the night, as well as the Runcorn & Helsby by-election.

To start the final week of the local election campaign in West Northamptonshire I ran around the ward I am standing in Daventry North West. A bit slow but sure I'll be getting in plenty more steps between now and the end of next Thursday! @assoclibdemcllrs.bsky.social

It will all come down to the final furlong, but we have a real chance to pull ahead of the Conservatives before the finishing post.

Can't wait!

This is the sort of thing Kemi Badenoch sneers at – Liberal Democrats working hard & getting things done for our communities

A good point by the Lib Dems' Daisy Cooper in response to today's #SpringStatement.

If the Chancellor wants to cut costs, why not start by slashing all the Brexit red tape from the Tories' botched deal?
