🚨 Online traffic to the entire European far-right collapsing after a successful Ukrainian attack on a Russian data centre feels like quite a big story.

‘Australia without migrant workers’

Who made this? 👏

Mandatory viewing for any fool who still doesn’t understand the implications of slamming the gates shut.

[Lib Dem Peers @LibDemPeers]

Did you know 8 of the top 10 recycling councils in England are Lib Dem led?

Mid Suffolk, a Green majority council, ranks 162nd, and Brighton was among the worst in the country when they ran it.

@OllyGrender put the figures to the government in the Lords in April.

[Jess Brown-Fuller MP @JessBrownFuller]

I feel profoundly sad for the Greens that joined a party thinking they were going to be environmentalists and have found themselves surrounded by antisemitism.
I am also appalled at the cowardice displayed by their leader, who chose not to lead, but to hide.
If you’re a Green Party member and your political foundation is rooted in equality for all, as well as being a proud custodian of our natural world, you can find your political home in the Liberal Democrats.

I listened to Ed Davey on the @BBCr4today this morning, and frankly, I think he missed the point.

The idea that we're keeping the triple lock to help millennials is at best for the birds, and at worst downright insulting. I say that as a millennial.

The case for the triple lock is a worthy one - stopping pensioner poverty. I want that as much as anyone. But pensioners are now less likely to be in poverty than children or working age adults.

We talk about fairness, yet our answer is to give the same increase to every pensioner, treating the one choosing between heating and eating exactly the same as the one with millions in the bank. I can see no moral or fiscal case for above inflation rises for millionaires.

That money should go where it's needed most - to everyone in poverty, not just one group. It could help fund free personal care, a policy that would disproportionately benefit older people.

Ed is right that we shouldn't pit one generation against another. But intergenerational inequality is already one of the defining injustices of our time, and this would further entrench it. Worse, it gaslights an entire generation into believing it's for our benefit.

Telling millennials we're keeping the triple lock to help us in 30 years' time is nonsense. We're on course to be the first generation worse off than our parents. We're locked out of the housing market, paying higher taxes, repaying student loans that never seem to shrink, and putting off having children because of the cost of living.

I joined this party because I care about fairness and tackling inequality, and that has to include inequality between generations.

This line, and this decision, fails on both counts. Ed needs to think again.

Protest is one thing. Intimidating volunteer lifeboat crews is another.

These volunteers risk their lives to save others.

Targeting them isn’t patriotic. It’s un-British.

I have left the Conservatives and joined the @LibDems! 🔸

Proud to be part of this party, and I am excited to get to work with a great local team.

The Lib Dem’s have big tent appeal and can be the home of the millions of politically homeless centrist, centre-left and centre-right voters that feel abandoned by a politics that chases to the extremes.

It’s time to be part of a party with modern, innovative, pragmatic solutions to the real problems the British public face!

Just some of our fantastic team out today for the Coppice Valley by-election 🧡

@tomgordonLD @LibDemMedia Another brilliant campaign that you’ve successfully lobbied Government for

[Benjamin Feist @benlibdem]

Unsure of the recent notification of the Local Government Reorganisation is, when the changes will take place, how the services you rely on will be protected and what it means for you, Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland? Check out: https://t.co/kAlPOChqLy

A productive morning litter picking in our neighbourhood. We managed to collect eight bags of discarded litter from the bottom of Fosse Road North and in the playground around St Paul’s and St Augustine’s alone

We do regular litter picks so get in touch if you’d like to join us!

[Benjamin Feist @benlibdem]

Great news for funding over the next three years to help our adventure playgrounds across the city - and here in Fosse at @WoodgateAP - survive to support children with afterschool activities, safeguarding and meals! 🎨

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

You won't hear it from the media, but the Liberal Democrats just had an incredible set of results.

We held off Reform, won more councillors than the Greens and trounced the Conservatives

Right cross the country people are backing us to deliver the real change they deserve. 🔶

Lib Dems
'The Liberal Democrats are on course for an historic eighth consecutive year of local election gains. This follows a massive ground operation which saw activists knock on over 3 million doors across England, double the number reached during last year’s campaign.'

[Green Liberal Democrats 🔶 @GreenLibDems]

Breaking the link between gas and what UK consumers pay for energy has long been @LibDems policy.

Holding government to account with sound policy that is then adopted matters. We'd have gone further to halve UK energy bills from kickoff.
