“When Labour refuse to back fair votes, the Lib Dems will be the voice of change in Parliament.
72 newly-elected Lib Dem MPs will continue to campaign for fair votes & work tirelessly in Parliament to make sure all voices from all communities are heard.”

If Donald Trump is elected:
The struggle against climate change is over.
Women will lose the right to control their own bodies.
We'll have no shot at raising the minimum wage.
Humanitarian aid will not reach starving people in Gaza.
Do not sit this election out.
Telling a Judge that the defendant didn’t do anything wrong when he broke the law because the law was a bad one is not a good idea especially if the defendant had actually made that law in the first place.
Yup the #Conservatives remain unfit for office
🧵As a scholar of the systems behind genocidal violence, who's accurately forecasted major events (from 2008 crash to mainstreaming of far-right), I believe the Musk-Trump economic plan is a blueprint for total social, political & economic collapse /1 https://t.co/XaSeNjEVi1
For some reason, I have been thinking about this moment a lot today.
It's from John McCain in 2008 at a town hall.
The woman begins to espouse conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's nationality.
He immediately shuts it down.
"No ma'am. He's a decent family man."
A "growth budget" for UK? Rejoin the EU's customs Union, renegotiate a bespoke trade deal with 🇪🇺.
Use the billions in growth achieved before the next election to invest in areas that supported Brexit!
Ed Davey, "Our economy will not grow strongly again unless we repair our broken relationship with Europe"
"Removing the Conservatives Brexit trade barriers would be a massive boost for British jobs, British business, and the British economy"
"But by ruling out important steps like the youth mobility scheme, or key long term goals like membership of the EU Single Market, the Labour government are trying to grow economy with one arm tied behind it's back"
Voters on both sides of the pond are increasingly fed up with being pitted against one another by a First Past the Post system that values the few not the many.
But there are some rays of light. Voting system change is on the ballot in multiple US states.

Labour fought the last election on the strategy they had to win Tory votes. They then won because Reform won Tory votes, not Labour.
End the delusion.
#GetPRDone
Wonderful to see ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ accompanied by the mass waving of Union Jacks and EU flags 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #proms#Brexit hasn’t delivered on any of its promises. It’s made our country poorer and weaker.
Let’s just admit it.
#ProportionalRepresentation:
“.. it’s right that everyone’s voice is heard & every vote counts. It’s the way of making our democracy stronger & more representative. That remains our position & always will be.”
