Morning Twitter!

I came to the U.K. as an immigrant & my family spent time inside a detention centre …

I don’t feel like I’ve invaded the U.K.
but rather the U.K. feels like my home

Like this tweet if you agree?

We Liberal Democrats need to be bolder, more visible to the UK as a whole.  The President role is not just about getting our own house in good order it has to be outward facing, our constitution even expressly states this is part of the President's job description.   #VoteLizTime4Change

In a healthy political culture, anyone associated with such deranged extremism would be shunned and ostracized, and the party that elevates it would no longer be considered a viable option.
 
In America, that’s evidently not the case. And until that changes, nothing changes.

This is not the time for willfully naive handwringing. It is up to every person with a platform, every credible institution to tell their audience who is to blame – and stop obscuring the Right’s responsibility with vague “polarization” talk and “both sides” nonsense.

A man who has been wrong about pretty much everything since I became aware of his sad existence, a man a judge called 'dishonest', but for some reason a BBC Politics favourite. What an insulting farce.

Musk's word is not the truth

Juergen Maier, former CEO of Siemens UK: Brexit 'has cost food manufacturers 15-20% more to deal with the red tape, which of course is adding to inflation.

'There is a solution...but nobody yet dare talk about it. And that is rejoining the single market.'

'Prior to Musk’s takeover, hundreds of Twitter employees had the power to remove posts that contained misinformation or hate speech, but now just 15 people have that ability'

“Source close to Manston claims Suella Braverman only approved three hotels last week which were in Labour constituencies. Priti Patel accused of doing the same when she was Home Sec and “they saw this coming”.

This is so CHILDISH.

So divisive.

NOT FIT FOR PUBLIC OFFICE.

Hancock was health secretary during Covid. The pandemic was a really traumatic experience for the country. The inquiry is about to start. Him joining I'm A Celeb while still an MP isn't silly, it's insulting.

NEW: A campaign by members of Unite the union: join a union has resulted in the luxury Scottish hotel Cameron House handing back almost £140,000 in withheld tips to around 200 low paid staff.

The cross-party Culture Committee on which I sit has published a report concluding that Nadine Dorries gave us wholly inaccurate evidence when she appeared before us as Culture Secretary. Misleading parliament is serious. I have sent our report to the parliamentary authorities.

Tired of this greenwashing. Millions of pounds wasted on hydrogen buses when blue hydrogen is dirtier than oil, gas and coal. This is how failed, uncompetitive enterprises like Bamfords get their welfare handouts from their friends in Whitehall.

The false rhetoric on Albanians uncovered

55% were granted asylum and 86% were 'trafficked women'
Acceptance rates were higher in Ireland and Italy than the UK
France had similar numbers.

Anonymity likely produces more than 90% of the incidents requiring moderation, because anonymity eliminates accountability—which, if @ElonMusk knew anything about how free speech is designed to work, he’d know is one of the *key abiding elements* of that core democratic concept.

Consider what you’ve heard from, or about, the Lib Dems in the last 3 years, throughout which time it has been policy to work our way back into the Single Market.
If you have a ballot for the federal elections, listen to what a #Vote4Liz would mean on the national & world stage.
