Great to hear Martin is standing in #le2026 to fix the problems.

Hi, will you be doing this for #LE2026?

We're only 64 days away from #LE2026.

I doubt that the situation with The USA & Israel bombing Iran will resolve itself soon.

Not to be blasé about the actual attack, but I think that had this *not* occurred, Starmer would've been in for a *much* more ruder awakening in two months' time.

Local government elections in England are now back on again. #Shambles #NoWayToRunACountry #LE2026

The Lib Dems have now won 58 of the 200 Council By-Elections (for 203 Seats) since the 2025 Local Elections.
#LocalElections 🔶💪🔶💪🔶
Whilst Labour and the Tories continue to lose seats and others stand still the Lib Dems keep on winning!

Stop the Tories and Reform Your vote is your power. Use it tactically to get the Tories and Reform out, then influence your new MP and the next government.

🗳 Until we have a PR voting system it’s advisable to use the Tactical Voting advice to Stop Reform U.K./Tories from blighting your local councils.

And Starmer believes Glasman/McSweeney could help him keep this #GE2024 majority.

Except that the "socially conservatives" will vote Refash', and the liberally-minded are walking away and voting Green (I def. am - voted Labour x 3 in my ward in #LE2022, will vote Green x 3 in #LE2026). 3/3

I’d be looking to get a stronger footing in Merton if I was them - and aim to wipe out the Tories there.

#LE2026 is gonna be one messy set of results though…!
