  1. UK #LibDems leader #EdDavey was stuck. A man with no vision, and no reason to watch him except when he wears his #wetsuit.

    So Ed has launched his new #BigIdea. Build British nuclear missiles, instead of renting #ICBMs from the #USA.

    That's Ed's idea. Don't build houses or fund the NHS. Don't abolish student loans or retrofit cold buildings or expand the rail network. Spend the money on missiles!

    Back to the wetsuit, Ed.

  2. @Gillinger And they blew it again when #JoSwinson promised to simply ignore the #BrexitReferendum.

    I don't see the decency in #EdDavey. The #wetsuitman disgraced himself as #ConDem junior minister in the #Post Office Scandal, and now he won't defend #PalestineAction.

  3. Starmer accepts that Brexit is a failure but won't fix it.

    That man and his 'decisions', it's a bad call almost every time, and so dismissive of the Public too.

  4. Although Lib Dems going through the lobbies with the Tories to support austerity is hardly ancient history, credit where credit is due - Davey's approach would be so much better than Starmer's attempts to ingratiate himself with Trump.

  6. British parliamentarian calls on the U.K. to rally around Canada, throws poutine party | Radio-Canada.ca

    I don't love Davey and the LibDems, but he is absolutely right in his urging Keir Starmer to stick up for Canada.

    The UK should be forthright in its support for Canada's resistance to Trump's annexationist bullying for a number of reasons:

    - we British have a historic link to Canada, and should always be mindful of the sacrifices Canadians have made on our behalf.

    - tiptoeing away from Canada in the hope of avoiding Trump trade measures harmful to the UK would not only betray Canada but also damage our own national interests. Trump has already shown his untrustworthiness with regard to existing agreements, so any deal made with his administration cannot be used as a secure basis for business planning. A readiness to sell out Canada signals to others that we ourselves are not a reliable partner; it also signals to Trump that we are weak, intimidated by threats, and thus liable to fold in negotiations with him. Rather than trying to secure a narrow US-UK trade deal without regard to Canadian interests, we should recognize our vital interest in working together with Canada, the EU, and other important trade partners on a joint strategy to halt the Trump led slide into global economic disruption.

    - acquiescing to Trump's bullying in the Americas is to acquiesce to regional bullying everywhere.

    🚨** #EdDavey won't rule out a #LibDem post-election deal with #Labour **🚨

    Davey also categorically ruled out any agreement with the #Tories, saying his party could "play a critical role" in removing them from power.

    Pushed over whether he would consider some form of deal with #Starmer, Sir Ed appeared to be keeping his options more open, saying instead he would not "speculate what else may happen after polling day".
