It will come as a surprise to nobody that Labour were telling people here that it was Labour vs Reform. They’ve misled people and the consequence is a Reform councillor.

#Diversity is our greatest strength, not a threat to be feared. I believe in a #Liberal Britain where every voice is heard, every #community is respected, and no one is left behind. That’s the future I’m fighting for, that’s why I’m standing to be your next party Vice-President.

Tonight Parliament failed disabled people. 🥀 Labour voted down my amendment to scrap unfair bus pass restrictions. 🌳 The Conservatives whipped their MPs to abstain. 🚌 This isn’t good enough. I won’t stop until disabled people get the fair, accessible transport they deserve.

I really have no idea why people were ever obsessed with this man Hes always been utterly dreadful and no where near as talented as his supporters make him out to be

Reform are coming for our friends and neighbours, people who have made the UK their home, who are working, paying taxes, raising families, and contributing to our communities. 🧵1/4

Labour are the new nasty party. Going after the disabled, the poor and now body shaming for cheap jokes. Let’s make sure they’re not in such a jokey mood after next May…

Nobody voted for this. Nobody.

The Council of Europe has warned that the UK gov’s treatment of trans people may breach human rights law. This must be a wake up call. We’ve seen an increase in hostility towards trans in recent years. Everyone deserves dignity, safety, & respect - that includes trans people.

Very much enjoying the hot takes that Labour should stand down in seats to allow the Greens to take on Reform Whereas the Lib Dems just get on and beat Reform, while the Greens don’t even bother to show up.

Fantastic result in Bromsgrove, congratulations to Sam Ammar and the local team! Across the country, it’s the Liberal Democrats who are taking the fight to Reform and winning 💪
