Voters in Canada have elected a Liberal government on a mandate to combat Trump's dangerous populism. Across the globe, it is liberals who are leading in standing up for prosperity, security and democracy in the face of Trump, Putin and the rest.
Durante todo este tiempo se ha puesto de manifiesto que es necesaria dimisiones, muchas dimisiones..
Merecemos políticos que pongan el pueblo en el CENTRO. 🟠
@YesCornwall@AndrewGeorge_@JayneKirkham4@Perran4CRH @NoahLaw4StAN @BenMaguireNC BBC yet again ignoring the LibDems - only the Labour MP gets a title - shameful since the election in general. No wonder Davey did his stunts !!
@krishgm Yup, I was that tactical voter; I'm Lib Dem in Northumberland and the main priority for me was to get our awful Tory MP out. I knew I would get a Labour MP and I'm fine with that. Glad to hear from others in this thread that swap was reciprocated!
As the smoke clears on the events of this week, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everybody who has supported me over the last ten years.
Becoming a public figure has never been natural for me. I had a cause that wouldn’t release its grip, that burnt itself deep into my soul as a young man. I had to become somebody in order to fight politically for those of my generation who desperately needed it after a war in Afghanistan which casts shadows to this day.
I am proud of what we have done. We have dragged veterans affairs in the United Kingdom from a sympathy driven, charity led, well intended but often fatally competitive and disorganised effort, into a more professional, collaborative, veteran focussed Government supported system, which I know – because I have the letters – saves and changes the lives of those special souls who have sacrificed for the Nation, precisely who I came into public life to help.
To those who feel I didn’t do enough, yes – I focussed on some areas more than others. Veterans’ rights, mental healthcare, rough sleeping, prosthetics and of course protecting Northern Ireland veterans. I was unsuccessful in some areas too – some issues remained outside my control, like Vets UK and compensation. I wear all the criticism. I did my best and often felt broken myself in the process. I am comfortable I could not have done more in the time and political space that I had. The opportunity for others to step up is always there.
I felt enormous imposter syndrome daily, but always thought I owed it to those who never made it back from those Afghanistan years, and those for whom life had become a daily struggle, to press ahead - whatever the cost. Those of us who survived unscarred are lucky – nothing more; I thought that every day I went to work.
I do want veterans to remember that we are not victims. We are privileged – we enjoy that “flavour of life because we have fought for it, that the protected shall never know”. It is a privilege to try and emulate our predecessors from battlefields past, but it ultimately is not an entitlement, and veterans must not become too hard to help.
You will note already that, despite his explicit personal promises in the election campaign, Keir Starmer has not appointed a veterans minister to his Cabinet. If you understand what Veterans need from their Government, this matters very much. The step change in programmes like Op FORTITUDE, Op COURAGE, Op RESTORE, Op NOVA, Op PROSPER and all the others, were because I had that cross-Government capability and position – outside of the MoD. Those now in power, paraded around by Starmer for their various military experiences, must mark themselves on how they too now actually change the lives of those who need them in the serving and veteran community.
I have fought hard for Plymouth, a City that has shaped me since I was a teenager and will always be my ‘home port’. I thank everybody who came out to vote for me last week, sincerely and deeply. I know in the current climate how hard that was. I am so proud of my office team, and my campaign team for their unstinting loyalty and commitment to Plymouth.
Finally I must thank my wife, Felicity. She is the rock upon which I am built. Both during my time in the military, and subsequently in public life, she has sought to protect me always, and has the scars to prove it. As the saying goes, we are of course “bloodied, but unbowed”.
See you soon.
Johnny.
Every football fan should spend 2 minutes watching this video.
Bielsa talking about the current state of football. Very poignant as we watch the worst European Championship of our generation
Ilford North: Thank you, it's been a pleasure! Really appreciate every single vote I received😊
Working class people like me don't stand for Parliament as a general rule (sadly). So I'm proud to have put myself forward, and to have offered a liberal option to vote for!
🔶🔶🔶 WOW! I'm so incredibly honoured to be re-elected as the Member of Parliament for #StAlbans and humbled by the result.
I’m so grateful to everybody who has put their faith in me. And, I’ve got a fantastic Hertfordshire buddy in Victoria, too!!! 🔶🔶🔶
