@alexwilcock.bsky.socialOTD 1991 Paddy Ashdown changed my life with the best advice a Leader ever gave @youngliberalsuk.bsky.social:
“You’re not causing enough trouble.”
I put my heart into following that order until he was tired of hearing it quoted.
But he was also an inspiration when he *intended* to be!

@worcesterlibdems.bsky.socialAcross West Mercia, fewer than one in twenty burglary cases resulted in a charge last year, while almost two-thirds ended without a suspect even being identified.
That is simply not good enough.
@acarpen.bsky.socialThe normally Safe As Military Fortresses Blue council of East Cambs District will have elections on existing boundaries in 2027. No elections next door in South Cambs district so expect Tories to come under pressure from #LibDems and also TeamNigel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Ca... And Fenland-->
@acarpen.bsky.socialAngela Rayner MP has been taking Qs on #Localgov reorganisation for nearly 90mins - both @pippaheylings.bsky.social and @charlotte-cane-mp.bsky.social MPs (#LibDems - SCambs, and Ely & East Cambs respectively) still waiting to be called (as are the ones standing) parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...
@acarpen.bsky.socialWaiting for one of the three #LibDems MPs in southern Cambridgeshire to ask Qs to the Housing & CLG Secretary. (Ely & East Cambs MP Charlotte Cane indicating she wants to speak.) Still lots of MPs wanting to put Qs to Angela Rayner MP.

@beccaet.bsky.social#LibDems have expressed serious concern & demanded statement from Shabana Mahmoud.
@beccaet.bsky.social#LibDems will push govt on this.
More concern raised by Conservative Cllr in Dover (saw on News) than Labour govt 😮
@beccaet.bsky.social#LibDems have demanded a response from Home Sec
@moredreamheavyhour.bsky.socialI have been wondering about that. It’s a deeply disturbing development and the Govt must treat it a lot more seriously. We need to create strong deterrence against those kinds of vigilante shenanigans.
Well done to the #LibDems for once again drawing attention to such issues

@keepingscoreadmin.bsky.socialBritain banned upskirting because one MP wrote the bill. A colleague blocked Wera Hobhouse's; the government took it over and it passed. She scores plus 1.69, 12th of 635 MPs on 1,533 votes. "She turns up, she votes, and the votes point the same way as the speeches." #UKPolitics #LibDems
