Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

Lula wins fourth term as Brazil president after historic upset over far-right Flávio Bolsonaro

Today, I challenged Labour ministers to go much further to stop water companies from dumping sewage in Britain's waterways. So it was utterly bizarre to see Tory MPs yet again annoyed at Lib Dems raising this issue. We won't stop fighting to protect our rivers, lakes and seas.

‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentre

2016 vs 2026 #BollocksToBrexit #RejoinEU

Good, but wouldn’t it be nice if we all had the right to live, work, and retire anywhere on the vast continent we share? Time to #Rejoin

My wife accidentally started opening one of my packages and made a joke about catching me ordering dirty books online but I think she found the reality more disturbing

Next Tuesday I will join parents, campaigners and charities to deliver a petition to Downing Street calling for the end of fines for parents of children who cannot attend school due to unmet SEND needs. I have been campaigning on this issue since I was elected and next week is a big step forward.

The US promised to protect Ukraine if it gave up its nuclear arms. Now Trump breaks this promise by collaborating with Russia. Trump betrays Ukraine, he also betrays America. Trump must go to prison.

Ed Davey led the Lib Dems to our best election result in 100 years through a campaign that saw me - and many other new MPs - elected. At a time when other parties are led by fantasists and narcissists, many voters tell me they see Ed as a decent and caring man. They are right.

No American should have to walk past soldiers to vote!

Wow. Donald Trump is giving money to Putin’s war machine so he can keep killing innocent Ukrainians and attacking democracies across Europe. The UK must lead a coalition of the willing that stands up and says no.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Another one. And many, many more. Trump Jr, Eric, General Michael Flynn and Trump lawyer Jesse Binnall are all Republika Srbska regulars and the US media still hasn't picked up on it. How do I know? Just talk to some journalists in Sarajevo, you can learn a lot. www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-...

Corridor care has hit a record high, and winter hasn't even started yet. In September, an average of more than 3,300 patients a day were treated in A&E corridors or on wards without a proper bed space. That's almost 100,000 times in a single month. 🧵

Surely the lettuce win win

"We watched the President struggle to answer questions, follow the conversation or even walk in a straight line. Trump is gravely unwell. Whatever is behind his serious decline appears to be rapidly accelerating. He faced the reporters with a confused look in his eyes, his chest lurched forward."

Reform-run Derbyshire County Council blacklisted a journalist after he exposed its £50,000 fence fiasco. Its deputy leader justified the move with a claim he later admitted was wrong. This is Reform’s answer to scrutiny. Attack the press. #NoAccountability

Reporter: "What do you say to those who are struggling to afford gas, groceries, diesel?" Trump: You're losers. It's the greatest. If you're struggling in this economy, you're a loser. There's your midterm messaging from the GOP 🤬🤡🎪

JUST POSTED: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have pushed a multibillion oil deal with Russia as part of peace talks that will bring profits to their family business partners. A new front for Trump-era conflicts of interest. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked

👀 "Nearly 10 years ago, Nigel Farage told LBC he would leave the country if Brexit were not a stunning success. For reasons that no one can quite fathom, he is still here."

Today, 8 years ago, my friend, Saudi Journalist and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered.

Daniel Hannan has been spectacularly wrong about everything to do with Brexit, so this is hugely encouraging for all #RejoinEU voters. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Trump DOJ keeps violating the law & keeps losing in the courts. So now they’re filing judicial misconduct complaints against judges they don’t like, even Trump appointees. I call out Todd Blanche for his rank hypocrisy as he runs around the country in partisan events. youtu.be/nZ_nR2s-ReU?...

Kemi Badenoch condemned Reform's ban on critical journalists covering their conference as "authoritarian", saying her own party would never do the same as "we believe in free speech. We believe in a free press." Now the Conservatives have banned Byline Times from their conference

We need real action from the Prime Minister on Europe, not more hesitation. The Liberal Democrats have a plan to strengthen our economy, cut living costs, and boost defence by rejoining the Single Market, Customs Union, and working with European partners on security. These issues cannot wait.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

Please share the information about Oleshky everywhere you can! ​Russia is starving residents of the town and nearby villages by denying food supplies and evacuation. People in Oleshky need help, or else they won't survive the winter!

If Tennessee executes Christa Pike next week, she'd be the first woman executed by the state in more than 200 years — for a crime she committed when she was 18 nearly three decades ago. Governor Lee must spare her life before it's too late.

Going well so far but low response. Get those votes in asap

I have written to the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, urging her to create a “Westminster Crime Unit” within the National Crime Agency, to investigate political finance. The legislation in the Representation of the People Bill does not go far enough. We need a fair playing field. buff.ly/dNK1h35

Israel has been found guilty today in Geneva of war crimes including extermination, forcible transfer, starvation, torture and false imprisonment, sexual violence including rape... and many more If it was any other country than Israel all of Europe would boycott them. Instead there will be silence

A new megapoll shows that EU membership is the most popular UK-EU relations policy in all but four parliamentary seats in Great Britain. Which areas are the most supportive? Which areas aren't? And what are the benefits of membership? ⬇️

Fantastic news that Enhertu is available on the NHS in England. This drug can give some breast cancer patients months, even years, more with their loved ones. It's a huge win for patients and campaigners who never gave up. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brexit to blame for small boat migrants, says Lib Dem leader Brexit to blame for small boat migrants, says Lib Dem leader www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... He’s right, of course. I wish Burnham (and Starmer before him) had the guts to say it…

The former chancellor said the Britain had "gone off a cliff" since Brexit and that leaving the customs union has had a "devastating impact."

a great letter in the times today. perhaps worth sharing in these troubled times. #RNLI #heroes

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

AI is used for almost everything these days. Even emails. This progress has been unprecedented. The Liberal Democrats have long called for stronger ethical regulation on AI to keep people safe. @LaylaMoran.bsky.social

A big step forward for disabled young people and their carers today: the House of Lords passed our law to make it easier for them to access their Child Trust Funds. This has been a long battle for me and many parents. I really hope Labour MPs don’t overturn our amendment.

There were three senior Reform men involved in those conversations. Two of them have been kicked out, the third is Nigel Farage. Reform have clearly accepted what happened here was wrong. So surely the buck stops with Farage?
