RFK Jr. claims he had to fire CDC director Susan Monarez because he needed to “make some changes” when he came in to lead HHS. Not even Fox News' Bret Baier calls him out by reminding him he hired Susan Monarez. He can't seem to get his lies straight.

Let’s get this straight, once and for all: Homophobia is not an opinion. Transphobia is not an opinion. Xenophobia is not an opinion. Misogyny is not an opinion. Racism is not an opinion. It’s hatred. — Are we all clear on this?

Yes thousands turned out - which is far more than I’d like - but that is dwarfed by the millions that understand real patriotism means loving your country as it actually is, not hating its diversity or trying to exploit its challenges. That’s what our flags actually represent

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

Brexit isn’t working, and the British people know it. They're fed up with the damage caused by the deal forced on us by Conservative party. Keir Starmer must show some courage and set Britain on a clear path to a new customs union with the EU by 2030.

The Guardian opinion headline reads: “Brexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course” by Ed Davey.

The PM should invite Mark Carney for an official visit and address to Parliament before Trump’s visit. It would show Britain backs Canada against Trump’s damaging trade war. Now is the time to stand with the Commonwealth, not stand in Trump’s shadow like Nigel Farage.

A letter to the New Statesman.

Andrew Marr writes of the state of British politics that, "beyond Westminster, a far bigger story continues to grow". Yet I was surprised to see that his account of that story leaves out the party that finished second in both of the last two rounds of council elections, that has control of more councils than either Reform or the Conservatives, and is the only party that consistently goes head-to-head with Reform in council by-elections and beats it. And in Westminster too, it is the party with 18 MPs for every 1 MP that Reform has.
Perhaps next time, his picture of British politics should include the Liberal Democrats?
