Ed Miliband says, "To the millions in this country.. who have been moved & outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people, we hear you. You were right" So scrap the proscription of PALESTINE ACTION, boycott Israeli goods, stop supplying weapons parts & usIing the RAF to assist the IDF.

So the BBC continue to quote Farage, who is now bellyaching on about National Security (he is the expert and the only MP quoted - so must be). Oddly enough he’s now silent about the ethnicity of the terrorists.

So ACC asks that no one speculate about who is responsible for the terrorist incident at Fairford. Then 30 mins later, the know it all BBC are saying ‘some may suspect Iranian involvement’. Talk about effin irresponsibility. They really are out of control.

I really hope the PM is serious about fixing care, and he can show it by getting on with the cross-party talks we started in July. This can’t just be a series of No10 headlines with no real action. I’ll do everything I can to put family carers at the heart of any solution.

Another day, another example of BBC bias. There are loads of paedophile cases in court and under review, but the BBC chooses to focus on just one - and guess what he’s not white (unlike the vast majority of convicted paedophiles in UK). What a surprise.

I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it.

@lbc.co.uk The reason that Lib Dems are flagging is that they get no coverage unless Ed Davey does something sensational. He is consistent in his arguments about social care, EU & Lib Dem councils are performing brilliantly across the country. My Lib Dem MP is brilliant. They need more coverage.
