🗳️ YOU HAVE UNTIL 10pm! 🗳️

Out in rural #Somerset this evening. In beautiful #Ditcheat where they have these fabulous finger posts… with no idling signs near the school! A wonderful Lib Dem Mendip District Council legacy.

Fewer and fewer people are volunteering every year. Without volunteers many of our community groups and organisations, along with the services they provide and the events they pull together, would simply not happen. Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant. Well done WestNorfolkBC 👏

Somerset Council

Dorset Tories told their MPs to stay away for Local Election campaign - we welcomed our leader with open arms TWICE during last 2 months, we embrace our party, its values & policies in Liberal Democrats Good Luck to Lub Dens everywhere - I hope you get the results you have worked for

Repulsive.

Fantastic news - but I do question why inclusivity needs to be trialled and why it doesn’t just, errr, you know, HAPPEN!

I had to send my passport off to Parliament as part of a security check recently. I do hope the Civil Servants had a good laugh when they saw my passport stickers.

Today's Times.

The govt's new visa changes have caused an 83% fall in visas granted to health & care workers.

We have:

152k social care vacancies

121k NHS vacancies.

This is catastrophic for our NHS & care sectors.

They’ve given up now. It seems to me that the Conservative Party’s strategy is to bury their heads in the sand until after the election, at which point they will blame the in-coming Labour government for the (escalating) consequences of Brexit and claim that it would have been…

Knocking on doors all year round, and not just at election time, is a vital part of being a Lib Dem. It’s one of the things I enjoy doing most as an elected member of Local Government. I was elected to serve the people, and you can’t serve people unless you get to know them!

🚪 2 million doors knocked on already this year! You are an amazing campaign machine ❤️

Just when you think you've seen it all... Conservatives are using their *own* leaflet in Dorset to show how angry they are about their *own* government and MPs behaviour!

The Conservatives are running scared of the Liberal Democrats in Dorset. 🔶

That time in June 2016 when James O'Brien took apart Jacob Rees-Mogg's claim of the UK being dragged into an EU army

JRB.. The European Army is coming soon

JOB.. It's not an army, its a pooling of resources

JRB.. It is an army.. Eventually we'd be dragged in

JOB.. But we…

This reminds me of a Somerset Conservative Councillor who recently declared, at Full Council no less, “I’ve had enough of being blamed.”

It must be very difficult being a long-serving Conservative at the present time.

Tax does not pay for government spending youtu.be/xnYhGD7xNig?si… Probably the biggest challenge to understanding how the economics of governments really works comes from the need to understand that governments of the sort we have in the UK are not funded by taxes. They are…
