I am ruling out our party entering into a national partnership with any party that is committed to a dangerous and antisemitic policy like the Green Party’s. Here is my letter to the Jewish Leadership Council and the Board of Deputies of British Jews 👇

Ed Davey told the Commons in July what Reform activists were saying on doorsteps. Tonight, we saw ITV went undercover and got Reform councillors and candidates on tape.

Excl w/ @daisyeastlake: Pro-Palestinian activists ran an organised campaign inside the Green Party to recruit members, secure influential party positions and reshape its policies from within, The Times can reveal. More than five and a half hours of recordings of weekly Greens for Palestine meetings showed members speaking of “using the party” and attempting to ensure those supportive of their position gained key party roles. In the meetings Animah Kosai, one of the co-chairs, said: “I don’t believe in serving the Green Party, and I think some people are going to hate me for this. I actually believe in using the party in order to reach certain goals. And in this case, for Palestine, for anti-imperialism.” Lubna Speitan, one of the proposers of the “Zionism is racism” motion passed at the party’s conference on Sunday, said: “I’m going to knock on every door and just talk about Palestine […] It’s about the quality of membership and who we want to bring into this party.” Shahrar Ali, a former deputy leader who is suspended from the party, accused the organisers of “internal political manipulation with scant regard for the integrity of democratic process”. He claimed it was “naked entryism that is corrupting the party beyond recognition”. Another longstanding party member said there was “clear evidence” of “a highly organised campaign by a small number of infiltrators to take over the party’s key votes and committees”. thetimes.com/article/0db0686…

That the antisemitic entryists who have captured the Green Party, are being antisemitic, is no surprise. That the Party Leader skipped this vote and failed to use his authority to argue against them, is an astonishing act of weakness. Real Greens are welcome in the Lib Dems…

BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Unlimited donations from unaccountable sources are a threat to democratic integrity. We need action now. We're calling on the Government to introduce emergency legislation to cap political donations. Last week we raised this in the Commons. This week we've chased the minister again, because this cannot wait.

Donald Trump is trying to bully AI firms not to engage with Britain’s AI Safety Institute. He’s making the world less safe. The UK must stand up to him.

We’ve all seen with our own eyes Farage’s true colours. The stench of corruption around Reform’s inner circle is repellent. We welcome the Met Police’s criminal inquiry into their finances.
Farage has always behaved as though the rules apply to everyone but him. These allegations against Reform look like the latest example. Lib Dem Cabinet Office spokesperson @LisaSmartMP has written to the police and the electoral commission asking them to investigate.

People are fed up. Bills are rising, waiting lists are growing and too much feels broken. It’s time to fix our broken politics and put power back where it belongs: with the British people. @edwardjdavey

Extreme heat is hitting communities across the country, yet Andy Burnham has been bafflingly silent. After the UK’s hottest summer on record, we need to see far more action. We need cross-party talks to protect Britain from worsening extreme weather.

We can’t allow our politicians to be bought and sold. It’s time for a cap on political donations. 

 Tag your MP and tell them to back our vote this Wednesday to take big money out of our politics and give ordinary people their voice back. @LisaSmartMP has all the details ⬇️

“Sleazy and unprofessional.” That’s how a recently ousted former Reform councillor has described the party in Sheffield. It’s no wonder they’ve already lost three councillors since May. If you want to put an end to the chaos and division, back the Liberal Democrat team next time.
