This Clacton resident summed it up perfectly: being part of the EU helped keep us safe. It's time to restore our EU membership.

FACT!

ITV’s undercover report exposing racist and misogynistic comments by Reform UK councillors will be aired in full tonight. According to Reform sources it’s just a “few bad apples” but we’ve been here before….

The reason we must stay in the ECHR is because we have to protect British people’s rights. That’s something the Conservatives and Reform just don’t get. Highlights from my speech in the House of Commons last week:

This artwork was created over the past year by a local Birmingham artist collective who wanted to bring unty from discord by repurposing the divisive Nationalist flags into a massive Brummie Reunion Jack. Suffice it to say, the inspiration for Goldship's magnificent work has not taken it well.

Robert Jenrick, what a plonker. As easy as he is to mock, the ideas him and Reform are pushing are dangerous. While the Conservatives weakly follow their lead, Liberal Democrats will stand up to them.

I’ve been driving for many years, but I’m staggered by the standard of driving at the moment. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

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.

Well done our BBC, really enjoying the Bond theme Proms. 👍

A Japanese referee's last match got an unforgettable send-off: a player yanked off his shirt just to earn one final yellow card from him.

Mostly optimistic about the future, apart from the fascism, killer drones and evil sentient computers

Conservatives and Reform promised more control over our borders after Brexit. Instead, we’re seeing increasing disorder. Only a proper deal with the EU can deliver real control, safety, and effective returns. @MaxWilkinson.bsky.social

This so true: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Its quite staggering, driving home this evening after receiving the alert message, watching the car in front throw a cigarette out of the drivers window

Resetting our relationship with Europe is the fastest way to boost growth. It's time to cut red tape, back small businesses, and join the Single Market and Customs Union. @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.

Bulgaria's interior minister: Russian government is working with people smugglers to flood Europe with migrants. "Illegal migration inflows are an instrument for hostile regimes to destabilise the European Union + the UK...They are aiming to destabilise the welfare systems [in European countries]"

Fuel theft is rife, the police do need to get a grip of it. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Nothing to see here, move along please www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Come on BBC get the detector vans out tonight, or at least say you’re going to, stop the hypocrites from watching for free.

Do yourself a favour , watch this concert on the BBC, it’s worth getting a TV licence just for this. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Well the right wing media have succeeded in ousting an honourable man.

It is really difficult for small business owners, when the public demand full refunds alleging some sort of mistake, on the threat of leaving bad reviews.

If only #BBC could develop a secure firewall where you had to submit proof of your TV licence to watch World Cup games, I suspect the number of license players would sharply increase.
