Reposted by RTom Gordon MP @tomgordonld.bsky.social · 3hI listened to Ed Davey on the Today programme this morning, and frankly, I think he missed the point. The idea that we're keeping the triple lock to help millennials is at best for the birds, and at worst downright insulting. I say that as a millennial. 913838
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 21hHad someone describe Burnham's speech as "More Lib Dem than the one Ed Davey gave". Probably not a good sign for the Lib Dems then. 010
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 29/09/2026So Burnham has stated that both social care reform and triple lock reform will feature in the next manifesto. Has he not learnt from Theresa May circa 2017, or does he think that he has the skills to style it out? 220
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Like, this is just a toss-up as to which one of these incredibly generic men has this incredibly generic name! 120
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 25/09/2026"Generic White Man" is the most common cause of failure in this. 161
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 24/09/2026He will play the martyr card for fundraising regardless of whether he is arrested. So the simple answer is to just arrest him. 021
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 23/09/2026@luketryl.bsky.social, a very intelligent and well spoken Lib Dem member asked at one of your fringe events about whether the Lib Dem policy platform is gimmicky and incoherent. Would be interesting to see numbers and focus groups on whether people connect "Lib Dem" and "Tax Cutting" 010
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It's mornings like this where I deeply wish for privs on here. I need to scream into the void. 010

Reposted by RStephen Bush @stephenkb.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The usual moral “I’ll support anything as long as the rosette is red” voids in the replies to this. The reality is that Sunak did take real political damage in sacking Braverman and taking the whip from Anderson. Starmer and Burnham both useless on this. 13590103
Reposted by RPeter Taylor @ptrtlrwrts.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I think at this point I need convincing to remain a Lib Dem member because the number of reasons to do so are dwindling. I want to be in a party where there is a long-term aspiration to be the senior members of a left bloc UK government with double liberalism at its core. 1101
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Better ways of spending the money: - £1 bus fare cap - Expanding the availability of rail cards - Government rebates on public EV charging fees 140
Reposted by RStephen Bush @stephenkb.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It’s been two years, you’d hope that by now, Labour would realise that they are a government, not an opposition, and their criminal justice policy needs to be about, you know, reducing crime, not merely making positional announcements that have no meaning. 1216021
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Remember when Labour wanted to tackle the causes of crime rather than contributing to them... I'm sure making parenting more difficult and contributing to absenteeism will make lives far better for those kids. 020
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I remember hearing somewhere that the Lib Dems needing to cancel their 2022 Autumn Conference because the Queen died almost bankrupted them. This would have ended the Greens through bankruptcy. 150
Reposted by RLaura Gordon @lauragordon.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I am the local LD councillor and I have not supported this campaign. No one asked me to, presumably because they knew what I'd say. This just absolutely, categorically untrue. 12585206
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I would like to remind the both the media and the lovely people of Piddington that it is impossible for 358 people, as of 2022, to be a "roar". 020

R @liburghal.bsky.social · 15/09/2026My hot take is that this video wasn't meant for the constituency. It will be zipping around WhatsApp groups across the country and leading to questions to ministers on the rounds that might cause egg on face moments. 010
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 15/09/2026As a local democracy enjoyer, the concept of "National Spend" in local elections has always baffled me. Allowing unlimited spend on mailings during local elections which say nothing of the actual locality is distortion to both campaign fairness and the public perception of local democracy. 101
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 12/09/2026For context, the entire expense by all political parties for the 2024 General Election was £94 million. 010
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 11/09/2026All talk of whether there will be a summer 2027 election from this polling. It is 8th Oct in Holborn and St Pancras that I am more interested in. 010
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The government coming out to defend the RNLI should be easy. It doesn't matter whether they want to address the intent of the thuggery, but they need to show support to the RNLI. Anything less and they are as spineless as the last lot. 151
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It is depressingly impressive that the UK has gone almost 20 years without an SoS for DCMS that is memorable, let alone positively impactful. Being the Minister for Vibes and Fun should be a great position, but it is seemingly taken as a minor position or punishment. 000
R @liburghal.bsky.social · 08/09/2026The level of hate of both AI and estate agents has been ratcheted up another notch with this.

R @liburghal.bsky.social · 01/09/2026This is what Zack Polanski is up against. Though knowing his outwards personality, I doubt he will be willing to take on the label of "chicken" over a seat that the Greens would have been eyeing up before the change in fortunes. 030
