100% the right agenda: Diversify the Party ✅ Be a megaphone for Liberalism ✅ Engage the next generation ✅ Empower members ✅ Hugely exciting to see @JoshBabarinde put himself forward for President!
Josh Babarinde OBE MP@JoshBabarinde

The Liberal Democrats must be the first and last line of defence against the populism infecting our politics. We need to be ready to fight for the soul of our country. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗜’𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁. Get involved below 👇

Given that there are 30 million monthly active users on TikTok in the UK, it really should not be an 'astonishing fact' that Farage has 1.3m followers. Le Pen similarly has 1.3m followers. However Macron has 6.4m because - unlike the UK - the main parties chose not to be absent.

★★★★☆ 'Fraser Nelson’s Channel 4 film included the astonishing fact that Nigel Farage has 1.3 million TikTok followers, but could he nail the Reform leader on his actual policies?' #Echobox=1751024256" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/culture/tv-rad…

.@GWRHelp yet again the most incompetent people on the planet. Saturday before Christmas? Cut the Hereford train from 9 carriages to 5. Cancel seat reservations made months ago. Now multiple babies/ people with disabilities stood in between carriages.

After four amazing years at Public First I will be joining the @StartupCltn in the new year. Clearly from this video @Dom_Hallas has far too much time on his hands so do get in touch with him and the brilliant team in the meantime for all things startups!

@G_Derrington Of course we still want PR. It's just funny that FPTP has finally delivered the fairest representation the LDs have ever had. All moot though, a govt with 2/3 of the seats on 1/3 of the vote ain't about to entertain changing the voting system.

Surprised by those now saying “well FPTP was good to the Lib Dems” and suggesting they might go soft on PR. A) PR is still basic fairness B) 12.2% of 650 is 79 seats…

So glad @AhirShah won the @ComedyAwards at @edfringe. Saw his show in the first full week and have been thinking about bits of it ever since. Very funny, but also heartbreaking and beautiful. Cannot recommend highly enough.

My beautiful, loving husband, Petter Belsvik, has died suddenly at our home in Oslo. He was found peacefully alone, with no cause of death immediately apparent. It will take some time to establish what happened. We were devoted to each other & I am devastated.

Christ @RoyalMail is awful. My package was posted on 28th November with 2-3 day delivery, said “will be delivered today” since 13th still not arrived. Impossible to speak to a human and their tracking bot is the worst I’ve ever seen. Nothing to do with strikes- just bad service

@DeliverooHelp I placed an order with an est delivery time of 40mins after the order went through it changed to 2h. online agents kept ending the chat and now they're saying they can't cancel because its too late. Maybe if they had stopped rudely ending the chat it wouldn't be!

Great announcement by GMB and my old work (proud to have played a small part when I was there). Shows the power of mutual respect and cooperation in getting things done.
