ffs "fund by Quakers" we are clearly a bunch of dangerous extremists.

Excellent news from the Netherlands, where our @RenewEurope party D66 has come out on top in the elections, ahead of the far right. Congratulations to @RobJetten for a fantastic campaign!

Another great surprise in this election comes from our other party, the VVD. Congratulations to @DilanYesilgoz.

Democratic, liberal, and pro-European forces have won these parliamentary elections.

Huge congrats to Rob Jetten, our @D66 friends, and @VVD in the Netherlands! 💛

Proof that hope, optimism and liberal values can beat the fear and division of the populist right.

Let’s do the same here in the UK and wipe the smile off Farage’s face at the local elections in May.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

We just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.

Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into a version of Trump's America. We stopped him.

NEW: The centrist D66 party has knocked the far right off the top spot in Dutch elections according to exit polling. D66's Rob Jetten could become 🇳🇱's youngest & first openly gay PM.

But it's still officially too close to call & the far-right PVV still ranks close second.

This is the moment that the centrist liberal D66 finds out it’s won the Dutch election

Cutting taxes for US social media giants would be an insult to people w/ disabilities&carers seeing their support slashed.

The way to respond to Trump’s destructive trade war is to work w/our allies to stand up to him.

Rewarding a bully means he’ll only come back for more

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Thank you for your support.

Ukraine has fought too hard for its freedom, only to have its future dictated by Putin and Trump behind closed doors.

Any peace must guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty and security on terms acceptable to Ukrainians, not just to Moscow and Mar-a-Lago.

[Adam Robertson 🔶 @RobboRocker]

The fact is @EdwardJDavey is becoming the real Opposition Leader and offering an alternative to @UKLabour.

We need to stand by Ukraine, and stand up for freedom and democracy which we cherish in this country and what Ukrainians are fighting for. We must stand by Ukraine.
