You won't hear it from the MSM but as a result of May's elections the @LibDems gained the leadership of councils delivering services to millions, with budgets of billions of £s.

It looks as though Vladimir Putin may have ordered an arson attack against the British Prime Minister last year.
That is an incredibly serious escalation and shows why we must redouble our efforts with Ukraine and the rest of Europe to resist and deter Putin’s aggression.

I'm old enough to remember when Nigel Farage would hold a press conference at the drop of a hat.
So why is he now launching his divisive policies in a blog post from the safety of his keyboard?
I can think of 5 million reasons why…

Nigel Farage has turned into Enoch Powell of the social media age.
He’s trying to excuse racist disorder and violence against police officers. He’s pushing the politics of grievance and division that goes totally against our fundamental British values of tolerance and decency.

The Brexit mess left by Nigel Farage and the Conservatives is costing us £90bn a year, money that could have been spent on defence and tackling the cost of living.
They wrecked it. We'll fix it.

Proud of our brave marines who boarded a Russian shadow fleet tanker in the Channel.
I hope that any funds raised from the seizure of this cargo will be sent to support Ukraine.
It’s vital the Government works with allies to choke off the oil money funding Russia’s war machine.

Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal, cheered on by Nigel Farage, has been a disaster for Britain.
It's time to rebuild our relationship with Europe to grow the economy, tackle the cost of living and properly fund our defence.

This is one of the most important problems in the world, along with climate change, AMR, 100 conflicts, online misinformation and religious extremism

The poorest economies in the world are not achieving economic growth.
The consequence is that progress against the very worst poverty is coming to a halt.
This is one of the worst problems in the world today, but hardly gets any attention.
