Libdem Candidate for Bexhill West ward of East Sussex County Council. Believes in working for you. Need to remove Tories from all levels of government.

[RichardThomas4BexhillWest @bexhill]

@socialistsunday This is ridiculous. There is no such a party as Tory/ Libdem.

How can we fight for equal rights abroad when women in Northern Ireland can be imprisoned for life for having an abortion?

It is the responsibility of the UK Government to end this injustice and to ensure that everyone in the UK has access to proper healthcare--a human right.

[Philip Hammond @PhilipHammondUK]

The “fiscal firepower” we have built up in case of a No-Deal Brexit will only be available for extra spending if we leave with an orderly transition. If not, it will all be needed to plug the hole a No Deal Brexit will make in the public finances.

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

Some far right “Tommy Robinson” supporters from out of town came into Castleford today, inc one apparently calling for me to be burnt - just as we were marking @great_together for Jo Cox across West Yorks. Shows Jo’s #moreincommon legacy is more important than ever #hopenothate

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

Let’s hear it for feisty, cocky, opinionated female firebrands. The world needs more of them. 💪

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

The 2 men seeking to be PM in 3 weeks time are - at best - offering implausible ways of mitigating Britain's misery and hardship with a bit of fantasy Corbynomics sprinkled on top. I'm off to the B&R by-election today because another future is possible, Britain deserves better.

Jo Swinson - #Brexiters can't even agree what #brexit means... there's no majority for a #NoDeal & to pursue that course is the height of a irresponsibility.

Ed Davey - Hunt & Johnson are prepared to see millions lose their jobs for their #brexit ideology... that's disgusting.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Apparently a speakers agency says that you can “book speeches” from me through them, and that I charge money for my speeches.

This is of course not true, I don’t belong to any agency and I don’t charge a cent for my speeches.
And my earnings from books and awards go to charity.

Miraculously, we are at the point in this race where the two candidates appear to have discovered a magical cheque book that appears to have been JUST out of the Chancellor’s reach for the last few years -

[Robert Peston @Peston]

How astonishing that @tom_watson making the case today for the European Union makes him unique among all senior figures and leaders of our two major political parties.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

On 75th anniversary of D-Day, time to debunk Hollywood myth it was largely a US invasion force.
Of 1,213 warships involved, 892 were British/Canadian; only 200 US. Royal Navy in charge of Operation Neptune. Of 4,126 landing craft involved, 805 American, 3,261 British. 1/2

Who backs Nigel Farage? Arron Banks. What business is Arron Banks in? Insurance. Who will profit from the privatisation of the NHS? He will. Make no mistake. This is coming.

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

How seriously does the rest of the world take Trump? Well, here’s how Sky News is advertising his UK state visit. Watch.

[Kensington & Chelsea #LibDems🔶🇪🇺 @KCLibDems]

Unprecedented: swing to @LibDems putting us 1st in Kensington & Chelsea for first time in history

Landmark moment as millions across the UK break from entrenched party loyalty to do what’s right for the country’s future

#LibDems -we’re tough on Brexit; tough on causes of Brexit

[Vince Cable @vincecable]

A brilliant set of EU results so far for the @LibDems. Making gains around the country with some really impressive swings in many seats.

Proof that the Lib Dems are the biggest, strongest voice of Remain #StopBrexit

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

Beaten the Tories nationally for the first time since 1906....

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Shame she wasn’t asked a single question about her valuable work subverting Kenya’s democracy. Oh well.

[Robert Peston @Peston]

compared with Brexit Party’s 31.6% that the humiliation will condition Tory leadership elections and the party itself long after them. Any Tory candidate proposing anything other than clean rupture with EU on 31 October will be seen as away with the fairies by most Tory members.

[Robert Peston @Peston]

With three quarters of counts completed, the combined LibDem and Green vote share is 32.6%, compared with 13.6% for Labour. So @jeremycorbyn’s Brexit triangulation, or facing both ways on Brexit, has been catastrophic for his party. Also Tory vote of 9.2% (!!!) is so low...

[Vince Cable @vincecable]

A clear, honest, unambiguous message has won @libdems our best ever European election result. We have shown ourselves as the strongest Remain force in British politics. Thank you to everyone who put their faith in us. We will stand up for you and keep campaigning to #StopBrexit.
