@ElectionMapsUK Oof.

@81beesfan @AlanOlive1 I’d argue that too. But I’d lose (and have). It’s a mark wholly within the box - sadly it’s valid!

@AlanOlive1 A toughie this because while it's clear who the voter expressed a view on, it's of course by no means a positive view. I'd argue it's a spoilt ballot paper.

The Organiser in me is wondering if this counts as a valid vote or spoilt paper? #jameymcivor #dickpic

@garypepworth @AlanOlive1 You wouldn’t need to argue it much - it’s totally valid!

@AlanOlive1 If it were in the Labour box I’d argue for it.

@AlanOlive1 Totally valid (sadly) - but them’s the rules!

Polls have closed. I’m so proud of every Lib Dem candidate, every volunteer and everyone who gave so much during these elections. Together, we knocked on 3.5 million doors! Thank you to all those who voted for a Liberal Democrat local champion. We’ll never stop working for you.

Polls have now closed. Thank you to everyone who has voted Liberal Democrat today. Thank you also to all our fantastic candidates up and down the country, and the thousands of members and volunteers who’ve joined us on the campaign trail. You've done us proud. 🔶🗳️🧡

This is a brazen pre-admission of genocide against the Iranian people, which would obviously be a war crime. Madness.

After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice. Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.

President Trump threatens to wipe out Iranian civilization if Tehran doesn’t cede to his demands by 8pm New York time (1am London) tonight (Tuesday). “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump writes on his Truth Social platform. Is there anybody, any group capable of staging an intervention in the White House?

A speculative application has been made for 900 homes in Coalpit Heath, on fields around Frog Lane. This is separate to proposals for homes off Roundways. It’s not in the local plan and I don’t support it. A consultation runs from Monday: landatfroglane.co.uk

@RealHousewifeMi @elonmusk It’s absolutely lacking nuance and the worst kind of dog whistle politics imaginable. How does someone become the richest man in the world, arguably the most influential without a modicum of empathy. Maybe that says as much about the world as the man.

@elonmusk So if a woman has a hysterectomy she isn’t a woman anymore?

If you have a womb, you are a woman. Otherwise, you are not.

Great to be out with Jon and Peter dodging the showers and chatting to residents in Frampton Cotterell this afternoon!

Today Nigel Farage tried to tear up people’s rights and take us out of the ECHR. Winston Churchill, a key advocate of it, would be turning in his grave. But, the @LibDems stopped him - a proud moment and we’ll keep fighting.

We are continuing to see an increase in the number of St George and Union flags appearing in public spaces across South Gloucestershire, including on roundabouts and lampposts and other infrastructure. We recognise that national flags can bring vibrancy, pride and a sense of unity to our communities – especially during major events and periods of national celebration. The Union Flag and the St George’s Cross are symbols that belong to everyone. However, their placement in unauthorised locations and recent campaigns and behaviours linked to the unauthorised display of flags have caused genuine concern among many residents.

Our flag does not belong to one creed or to one race. It belongs to one people, the British people. We will not let our flag be used to intimidate.
