Been out to vote. Hoping for a great result for Oli Henman for West of England Mayor and for many Liberal Democrat friends across the country standing in county elections. Were the best party to beat the Tories and hold back “Reform”

First time I’ve ever seen Labour down with the also rans in an election. The Labour Tory duopoly is at last being smashed up. Liberal Democrats will run local councils well, Reform will now be tested.

The last big Tory meltdown in the shire counties was in 1993, when the only county they held was Buckinghamshire. In 2025 they’ve lost Bucks 😀 Their councillors are being gobbled up by both Liberal Democrats and Reform and their MPs are at the lowest point ever. Goodbye Tories.

The govt decision to cancel elections in Surrey, Hampshire and Sussex, and stop the likely huge Liberal Democrat gains in those areas, left an electoral landscape skewed in Reform’s favour. It was the wrong decision for local accountability, in retrospect terrible politics.

Congrats to Bristol City for securing their chance for promotion to the Premier League. Whoever you normally support, having top flight football in Bristol would be amazing for the city.

Twenty years ago today, winning Bristol West off Labour, becoming the first Liberal MP to win in Bristol since 1935 and the Liberal Democrats first openly gay MP. Charles Kennedy led the biggest parliamentary party of 62 until Ed Davey won 72 last year.

80 years ago today, Britain celebrated victory in Europe. We remember with gratitude all those who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their tomorrows for our todays.

On #VEDay80 thinking about my grandfather Sidney Williams who was a career soldier in the Royal Artillery in the 1920s and 30s, was recalled in 1939, evacuated from Dunkirk and then fought at El Alamein and met Montgomery, then went into the coal mines. Wish I’d met him.

So many events happening in #Bristol’s #RedlandLibrary Please repost and share 👇

Good day meeting people at the Westbury on Trym Village Fair and then to Bristol Libraries Central library for displays on the local history collections for Sea Mills, Southmead, Bedminster and Barton Hill.

Ended busy week with giving thanks for the armed services and civilians who won freedom for much of Europe eighty years ago #VEDay80 Thanks to Bristol Cathedral for the event…and it’s been a while since I sang I Vow to Thee My Country, set to Holst’s Jupiter.

Disappointing to see Starmer and Labour weaponising immigration with “island of strangers” line. Government should bring people together, not become a pale imitation of Reform and others that want to divide us.

If anyone doubts Farage’s endless ability to shift and reshape the contours of British politics, I’d invite them to watch Keir Starmer’s speech today or read the accompanying documents. There has to be a policy response to address voters profound and real anxieties. But in ceding

STATEMENT ON PRIDE: While we understand #Pride organisers' frustrations with Labour and the Conservatives' swithering on LGBT+ and especially trans+ rights of late, we are sickened to our core to be lumped with them in a blanket suspension on parties attending major Prides. 1/4

If the Government doesn’t introduce a higher Carer’s Minimum Wage AND get on with reforming social care this year, both their plans for social care and immigration will fall apart. Our country deserves a comprehensive plan to fix social care - not half-baked proposals that only

No Keir, we're angry with you. Immigrants didn't cut the Winter Fuel Allowance - you did. Immigrants didn't cut support payments for disabled people - you did. Immigrants didn't cut funding for farmers - you did. Stop scapegoating immigrants and start taking responsibility

For over ten weeks, Israeli forces have blocked food, water and medicine from entering Gaza. With over two million facing famine and the Netanyahu Government planning to seize all of Gaza, will the PM back a joint plan to recognise Palestine and end this appalling blockade?

Instead of “inching” we should be racing back into the safe haven of the EU where we’d have economic security instead of being a small player between Trump’s America and China. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The Tories are on a downward spiral, being shoved down the political plug hole by both the Liberal Democrats and Reform. Liberalism is the antidote to nationalism.
