🪖 The Liberal Democrats are calling on the Government to issue Defence Bonds, open to the public and institutional investors, to raise up to £20 billion for capital spending on defence over the next two years: https://t.co/fbHjWqmFUL

We have been trying to get Nigel Farage on for ages. At least @countbinface didn’t bottle it … the Clacton challenger out soon.

[BinfaceFanComm @BinfaceFanComm]

Count Binface touring Clacton, talking to local businesses, wearing a bin on his head… this is peak British politics and we are here for every second of it.

Nothing says "listening to constituents" quite like a metal bin head nodding thoughtfully in a warehouse. Democracy has never looked more... recyclable.

The hi-vis is a nice touch. Finally a candidate who can be seen and emptied on a Thursday.

Make your Vote Count!
(And if it doesn’t, at least it’ll end up in the right receptacle.)

Ordinary people are asked to decide someone's fate, usually with no training and little support.

A new House of Lords inquiry chaired by @TheDon_Foster is now taking evidence on how jurors are supported. The call for evidence is open until 6 September.

This is the very sad reality of a broken system that is letting people down. We must fix this so that it never happens again.

Alongside @Imran_HussainMP and over 80 MPs and Lords, I recently wrote to the Foreign Secretary calling for comprehensive sanctions on Israel.

The world’s top court is clear. Israel’s occupation of Palestine is illegal - and Governments must act now to end it!

[Green Liberal Democrats 🔶 @GreenLibDems]

⚠️ Europe’s #wildfires are a warning, not a distant crisis.

The UK has already experienced three heatwaves this year. Climate change is here.

We need action now to protect our communities, nature and economy.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Good. Now it's time to end FIFA's corrupt rule once and for all, with a new governing body to save football for the fans.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

The scenes of wildfires across the country are deeply worrying. Not forgetting what we have seen in other parts of Europe in the last few weeks.

It's clear this problem isn't going away. I only wish all political parties in our country understood this.

[Bobby Dean MP 🔶 @Bobby_Dean]

With much of the country in drought and wildfires burning, it's impossible to ignore the impacts of global warming any longer.

We need to get serious about preparing for more extreme weather in the future and take on those who still deny climate change.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Palantir was sold to the NHS for £330m on the promise that it would magically reduce hospital stays by 15%.

It has been found to have no impact at all.

Get Palantir out.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Capita’s disastrous handling of the civil service pension scheme has caused real hardship to thousands of retired workers.

I'm proud to back @pcs_union's demand to bring it back in-house.

Let's end this failed outsourcing project and secure compensation for all those affected.

Former UK PM Theresa May: "The war in Ukraine can’t end with Russia winning. I mean, that’s absolutely critical. And that’s so important. It’s important for all of us who believe in sovereignty, freedom and democracy that we do not allow Russia to win this war."

[Anthony Costello @globalhlthtwit]

Infantino is utterly corrupt, lining his pockets by selling out football. Worse than Blatter. Tied up with the Trump family mafia. He needs to go.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

🇪🇺 Across Europe, commentators are increasingly discussing how Britain might rebuild its relationship with the EU, rather than whether Brexit is a settled issue.

A Romanian 🇷🇴 analysis is the latest example of that shift.

Add that to: Ed Miliband putting Europe back at the heart of UK foreign policy.

Hamish Falconer saying Britain’s relationship with Europe must evolve because the world has changed.
Reports of movement on youth mobility, tuition fees and wider UK-EU cooperation.

The direction of travel is becoming clearer.

The world has changed, and it’s reminded Britain that you can’t change your geography.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

After 22 failed attempts to sort the social care crisis. The 23rd must now deliver.

It's time to put family carers first, guarantee free personal care, and end catastrophic care costs.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Gianni Infantino has dragged football's reputation through the mud. Now he's selling off FIFA's rotting husk to the highest bidder.

It's time to give Infantino the red card and build a new global footballing body built on accountability and transparency that puts fans first.
