RE: https://mastox.eu/@ZackPolanski/117003764463933692
Burnham invites the architects of Austerity to the table, but not the Left Wing Party, like they wouldn't have an input on social care but Kemi Badenoch does.
I guess the Greens are all 'terrorists' now or something?

Every new UK home should have air conditioning, say Liberal Democrats
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/26/every-new-home-should-have-air-conditioning-say-liberal-democrats?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_OtherStupid!
Every house should be properly built so that it doesn't need active heating or cooling, which means decent insulation and proper heat-exchange ventilation. If we build to passive standards we wouldn't need active heating or cooling.

"Count For Clacton: Binning Here"
Wonderful #Binface parody of the vapid #LibDems slogan "Winning here".
Photo stolen from https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BUUVMqDQP/
I have no idea whether the photo is real, snd I don't really care. I'm just enjoying the parody.

@Geri @ZackPolanski The Chancellor of the Exchequer is not compelled under the rules of Erskine May to appoint Farage to either the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds or as Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead, thus creating a vacancy in the constituency of Clacton-upon-Sea, especially now there has been this referral to the National Crime Agency, as well as the Parliamentary Standards Committee (PSC). The #LibDems have suggested his resignation should be blocked (https://www.markpack.org.uk/177141/government-should-block-nigel-farages-resignation/).

Shenanigans are afoot, are they working together to zugzwang Farage?

@ChrisMayLA6 It's not clever for the Tories, whose former home counties supporters have plumped for the #LibDems. They need new markets, but mean girl Kemi is not winning old or new Tories.
It's especially foolish for #ReformUK. The regions for which Burnham is speaking are currently heartlands of Reform electoral strength. Will Reform's south-eastern leadership surrender that advantage to Burbham?

Curious, would #GreenParty members and voters support a coalition with #LibDems ?

We need another general election and it's my opinion that the next government should be a #LibDems majority, we need electoral reform and that's the only party that can bring it forward.
Maybe a lib dem and green party coalition? I think that would be the most democratic government the UK has had.

@Theriac @PhoenixSerenity @GeraldKutney Winston Churchill was Secretary for War & Air from January 1919-February 1921 & Colonial Secretary from February 1921-October 1922 as a National Liberal under David Lloyd George. It was in the former post that "After British troops in Iraq clashed with Kurdish rebels, Churchill authorised 2 squadrons to the area, proposing that they be equipped with mustard gas to use against the rebels." The irony is the #LibDems are now to the #Left of #Labour!

Was it the Pogroms or the Misogyny that blew it for Reform? Or was it Elon Musk bumbling into the match and splitting the Fash vote?
Anyway, Lib Dems and Greens need not of leant their vote, it will never be repaid by Labour....

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/17/lib-dems-to-urge-labour-to-drop-torpor-and-timidity-on-eu-and-rejoin-single-market. At last! The #LibDems have finally come off the fence, & are now calling for #Britain (NOT the #UK, as #NorthernIreland is already in it, de facto, if not de jure) to re-join the #SingleMarket. That makes 100% #economic #sense, but it entails restoring #free #movement, so the #Tories & #ReformUK will be vehemently opposed, but so, too, will #Labour, @ChrisMayLA6!

@PinkNews @politics-PinkNews It's a shame Charles Davey is a #transphobe, but that is no reflection on his brother, #EdDavey. I'm glad the official #policy of the #LibDems is to oppose the #EHRC #guidelines, & to #support the whole #LGBTIQA #community without #exception. Charles Davey's argument is total nonsense.

Here a postal ballot for the #Makerfield by-election. (From https://x.com/i/status/2064047495236178427)
1/ cheeky #LibDems chose a candidate with surname listed ahead of #CountBinface. So poor Bunface is not top of the list
2/ only 2 of 14 candidates give an address in Makerfield. In ireland, the other 12 would be no-hopers. Irish voters don't tolerate non-resident candidates.

Oioioi, @Mickft. Go easy, Mick.
Nothing I wrote is "untrue", let alone "simply untrue".
I didn't say #LibDem policy had changed. I said they seemed uninterested in STV. I stand by that. Big difference between manifesto mention and campaign headline.
In the 1980s theAlliance / #LibDems campaigned heavily on electoral reform. They had #JohnCleese do a good video on #STV: https://youtu.be/0qWDPauV_p4.
Nothing like that in the 2020s. Little mention since the #FibDem #AV defeat in 2011.

@ChrisMayLA6 #LibDems were in coslition with Scittish Labour 1999–2007, and got #STV for Scittish local elections.
But LibDems were later almost wiped out in Wales. So when #PlaidCyrmu and #WelshLabour agreed to abandon #AMS for the #Senedd, there was no strong LibDem voice for STV. The Senedd is now #dHondt only.
2024 showed how #FPTP is clearly broken in Westminster elections. Labour's ⅔ of seats on ⅓ of votes was so obscene that there should have been huge, destructive riots.

@ChrisMayLA6 #STV was used for the Commons university constituencies, from 1918 to 1950. The last STV election to the Commons was the Combined Scottish Universities by-election in November 1946.
For decades thereafter, the Liberal Party and it's successors the #LibDems championed STV. But their enthusiasm lapsed after the disastrous #AV referendum in 2011. Now in a fragmented landscape, LibDems are slight beneficiaries of #FPTP, and seem uninterested in electoral reform.

The #Senedd 2026 vote breakdown by age is stunning.
75% of the under-30 voters chose #PlaidCymru or the Greens. 75%! Three out of four!
Between them, the #LabourParty, #LibDems and #ConservativeParty got only ~10% of the under-30 votes.
If only under-30s had voted, the Senedd would have had no Labour MS, no Conservative MS, and no LibDem MS. It would have been a wipeout

A growing list of MPs who are against that transphobic edict.
"That the draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations, a copy of which was laid before this House on 21 May, be disapproved."Tim Farron (!) signed today, can't see any Tories or ReformUK though.....
EDIT: Unsurprisingly Tim Farron has unsigned. What a clown.

Irrespective of which #government is in power at Westminster, #Labour #Tory #Reformltd or #Libdems,
they will not #rejoin the #EU, or work to the benefit of the people in #Scotland, #Wales, #England or #NorthernIreland...
they are only interested in holding power and in themselves...

#Labour have always used #Lambeth as a lab (no pun intended) to test policies to later roll out nationally. This time and after decades of #NewLabour rule, it is the turn of the #Greens. Not only the elected mayor is now Green councillor Paul Valentine, but the council is going back to rule by committee thanks to a coalition with #Libdems https://www.brixtonbuzz.com/2026/05/lib-dems-back-greens-to-lead-lambeth-ahead-of-watershed-committee-system-vote-1-june-2026/, at a time when #Westminster rolls out legislation to restrict committee ruling https://www.cfgs.org.uk/resource/explained-committee-system-amendments/. Strong positive signals 💪🏼💚!

Tim Farron of the very middle class Lib Dems speaking up for Working Class people because Labour assumes we're all uneducated bigots.
It's only a third of us who are, same as the Middle Class...who are just as bigoted and rapey as the Working Class.
So sick of the "good honest Working class thug" narrative this country adores...#Classim #ReformUK #LibDems #Bigotry #Sexism #Patriarchy #Makerfield #UKPol #UKpolitics
