@BenZaranko @TheIFS I thought about writing a long response, but this image (from the FT) sums it up really: It’s austerity. It just takes longer than a couple of years for the effects to become obvious. Austerity has destroyed this country.

Our Lib Dem attempt to halt introduction of photo- id at next May’s election fails by 210 to 63. Sorry folk. We tried.

Today on #PoliticsLive I spoke out against the Conservatives’ attempt to gerrymander elections with compulsory voter ID.

The chances of you falling victim to voter impersonation in a GE are the same as being hit by lightning 54 times in a row.

It's blatant voter suppression.

In the Commons I’ve just called out the Conservatives’ attempt to gerrymander elections with compulsory voter ID. It’s voter suppression pure and simple.

8,000 people in #plymouth won’t have the right ID to vote in May’s elections. It’s a democratic outrage I refuse to vote for

Doctor off sick. Paramedic unable to get into work. Today I’m the duty doctor for 17,000 patients and it is just relentless.

I know we are always busy but this is just next level.

Breaking: Atorneys are investigating whether Elon Musk lied on his application for U.S. citizenship. If it shows that he lied anywhere on the application, its likely he could be stripped of his of U.S. citizenship and deported back to Africa.

⚡️ Russia rules out withdrawal from Ukraine by end of 2022.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Dec. 13 that Kyiv needs to accept new territorial “realities,” dismissing a peace proposal by President Volodymyr Zelensky that would include the withdrawal of Russian troops.

Rishi Sunak's desperate attempts to push through voter ID laws are nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to stop people voting

Proud that Lib Dems have tabled a fatal motion in the Lords to stop these Trumpian measures in their tracks

Nope, no antibiotics available for our year old twins. Been told to try local pharmacies to see if we can get hold of some. Looking forward to that mission tomorrow.
