No10’s account is incredible.
I held Developed Vetting for nearly ten years and spent three years at the heart of the Cabinet Office. I have never heard of a Developed Vetting denial being overruled. Here’s why…🧵

1. Britain has very much *NOT* always tolerated minority faiths. Just ask Jews and Catholics.
2. The idea that religious expression should be "in conformity with our values, our norms, our beliefs" should worry every faith group, starting with Christians.
Quite. Badenoch’s answer manages to be even *more* alarming for other British faith groups, as the explicit logic is that large chunks of them should *also* be excluded from public events.
you are not prepared for the soundtrack
Starting to think that this meant only on day 1…
The UK should not be involved to attacks in Iran. The US should not be using our bases, especially when they bombed a primary school last week. Starmer needs to get in front of parliament today, explain himself, and hold a vote. We cannot enable Trump’s aggression.
We will always stand strong with Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇬🇧
a year is a long time in politics
LBC screenshot - Trump revokes landmark climate ruling - branding it 'the Green New Scam' - 12 Feb 2026
Trump is a total moron. The only scam is the one he’s pulling.
At today’s Cambridgeshire County Council Budget Meeting, the Liberal Democrat’s stepped up to funding holiday meal vouchers for Cambridgeshire’s most vulnerable children after the Labour Government cut funding for them.
Great to be out in West Chesterton with a fantastic team of @cambridgelds.bsky.social
Another great day out canvassing in Castle! No love anywhere for Labour and lots of support for Luke Patterson!
A warm reception out in West Chesterton today! The anger at Labour is palpable and people can see the great work under the Lib Dems at the County Council and are so disappointed that Labour are failing our city so badly.
“I've experienced racial abuse in all different kinds of pockets, and that’s the reality comments like Sarah’s help create.”
Watch @JoshBabarinde.bsky.social directly call out the harmful, racist rhetoric pushed by members of Reform.
Here's @pippaheylings.bsky.social MP writing about why Cambridge's future depends on a new A&E hospital

Nigel Farage tells the Reform press conference on pubs: "By the way, my name was mentioned in the files 37 times, but just to repeat, I never met Epstein and I never went to the island"
When Keir Starmer made Peter Mandelson his US Ambassador – even after his Epstein links were well known – did he think at all about Epstein's victims?
The Prime Minister's answer simply wasn't good enough. Epstein's victims deserve far better.
Labour are pulling funding for holiday meal vouchers for the most in need children during the school holidays. The Lib Dems say NO! The Lib Dem County Council will keep funding the vouchers. If you agree that children shouldn’t be hungry sign our petition: www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/dont-steal-o...
One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…
And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say.
We see you.
Yet further proof that our local authorities in Cambridge are great at getting houses built. Our award winning planning service knows what around area needs. That power should stay with elected cllrs not an unelected body for the government to exploit Greater Cambridge.
The world sees the scenes from Minnesota, and across the USA, with growing horror.
Paramilitary ICE troops deployed against citizens. Tearing families apart based on skin colour, and murdering innocent bystanders.
It couldn't happen in Britain right?
Wrong.

open.substack.com/pub/notesfro... take a look at this fabulous explanation of what we are doing to fix potholes in Cambridgeshire.
It’s been a great start to the year out canvsssing with Castle and West Chesterton! It’s game in for the local elections in May. The Liberal Democrats will be offering a bold and positive vision for our city, a clear alternative to Labour’s cuts at the Guildhall and in Westminster.
A glossy A3 leaflet arrives from Arbury Liberal Democrats, with lots of local content promoting Fionna Tod, who is clearly their candidate for the May elections. Arbury has been a safe seat for Labour for many years, but perhaps the Lib Dems are feeling optimistic this year.
Why is Labour giving Trump a free pass to break international law?
We know what happens when US Presidents launch illegal wars. It’s why the Liberal Democrats opposed the Iraq War and it’s why we condemn Trump’s law-breaking in Venezuela today.

This year has shown the real impact of practical, values-led policy to deliver change across the country and in our communities.
This week, the govt wrote to Cambridge City Council, giving Labour the option to cancel May's local elections. I believe they should go ahead. Before 15th Jan, please write to the Labour Councillors here - democracy.cambridge.gov.uk/mgMemberIndex.… & tell them democracy delayed is democracy denied.
