Israel continues to shock and horrify, not jut in Gaza, worrying escalations of the Ukraine conflict in Ukraine itself and Poland make that whole situation more dangerous and yet more political murder in the US. Yet we're all talking about Peter Mandelson and whether the beleaguered Prime Minister can survive. If you're not a political nerd, it all sounds as chaotic as, say, a Boris Johnson administration. Obviously Mandelson should never have had that job in the first place and only found himself in the running because the Government thinks sucking ...]]></description> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Sep 2025 19:27:24 +0100</pubDate> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[New Lib Dem Candidate for Mayor of Sussex: 'We will win with unity, not division']]></title> <link>https://www.libdemvoice.org/new-lib-dem-candidate-for-mayor-of-sussex-we-will-win-with-unity-not-division-78284.html</link> <description><![CDATA[Sussex Liberal Democrats have nominated environmental expert Ben Dempsey as their candidate for the upcoming election for Mayor of Sussex. The party says that with the Conservatives and Labour in free-fall, they are the only party that can beat Reform by standing up for unity over division. The latest YouGov MRP poll shows Reform leading in Sussex at 24.4%, with the Liberal Democrats close behind at 22.8%. The Conservatives (19.7%), Labour (17.1%), and the Green Party (14.2%) trail behind. The Liberal Democrats have five Sussex MPs and lead several district councils in both West and East Sussex. Ben Dempsey, 46, ...]]></description> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Sep 2025 14:07:08 +0100</pubDate> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Gerry Rafferty: Whatever's Written in Your Heart]]></title> <link>http://liberalengland.blogspot.com/2025/09/gerry-rafferty-whatevers-written-in.html</link> <description><![CDATA[It's strange how good your memory is for the music of your teenage years. John Hodson posted this on Bluesky in the week and it was instantly familiar to me, yet I don't suppose I've heard it since 1978, when it was an unsuccessful single. Hearing it today, I like its gentleness and gospel colouring. Gerry Rafferty had a remarkable career. He was in a folk duo with Billy Connolly - The Humblebums - that once supported Fotheringay at the Royal Festival Hall alongside Nick Drake. He was the lead singer of Stealers Wheel, whose 1973 hit Stuck in the ...]]></description> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Sep 2025 11:04:00 +0100</pubDate> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Tom Arms' World Review]]></title> <link>https://www.libdemvoice.org/tom-arms-world-review-135-78276.html</link> <description><![CDATA[United States A prerequisite of a successful foreign policy is a stable domestic base. And in today's interconnected world, a successful foreign policy has a positive impact on home affairs. At the moment Donald Trump is in big trouble on the home front. This in turn is having an impact on America's ability to influence world affairs. To start with there is the Epstein Files—the paedophile sex scandal which refuses to go away. But even more troubling is this week's economic news. The Bureau of Labour Statistics reported that new job creations were a mere 22,000 in August—a third less ...]]></description> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Sep 2025 10:41:16 +0100</pubDate> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Lord Bonkers' Diary: Streets given over to foxes and feral cats]]></title> <link>http://liberalengland.blogspot.com/2025/09/lord-bonkers-diary-streets-given-over.html</link> <description><![CDATA[Bertie Wooster refers to the Shakespeare's "fretful porpentine" at one one point: "Odd that he should have said porpentine when he meant porcupine. Slip of the tongue, no doubt, as so often happens with ghosts." But then, with the use of abbreviations like F&F and WBOs, this column has been owing more to Wodehouse lately. The key is to steal from lots of different writers. Then you become original. Wednesday Westminster in high summer is strangely deserted - the irony is that I normally have to dodge F&F when here, but today I've come to the House to be sure ...]]></description> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Sep 2025 10:07:00 +0100</pubDate> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Vince Cable writes: Boycotting Trump]]></title> <link>https://www.libdemvoice.org/vince-cable-writes-boycotting-trump-78280.html</link> <description><![CDATA[Whoever advises Ed Davey gets full marks for suggesting the boycott of next week's Trump banquet at the Palace. And congratulations to Ed for taking up the right issue in the right way at the right time. A boycott signals clearly that Lib Dems reject the Labour government's obsequious, subservient cultivation of Trump. And to focus on Trump's active complicity in the horrors of Gaza touches the moral core of British public opinion. I set something of a precedent by boycotting the state dinner for the King of Saudi Arabia when I was Acting Leader. There was some tut-tutting from ...]]></description> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Sep 2025 08:50:01 +0100</pubDate> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Marchfield Road #dundeewestend]]></title> <link>http://www.dundeewestend.com/2025/09/marchfield-road-dundeewestend.html</link> <description><![CDATA[With thanks to Derek Macintosh and Dundonian History for All, a fabulous West End photograph from World War II. On Tuesday 5th November, 1940, the house at 12 Marchfield Road was hit by a German bomb (as were properties in Rosefield Street). Fortunately all the occupants of 12 Marchfield Road were in their air raid shelter at the time and were uninjured by the blast.]]></description> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Sep 2025 07:00:00 +0100</pubDate> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Farage accused of Hypocrisy over house purchase]]></title> <link>http://peterblack.blogspot.com/2025/09/farage-accused-of-hypocrisy-over-house.html</link> <description><![CDATA[The Independent reports that Nigel Farage is facing mounting questions about his £885,000 constituency home after an investigation called into question how the property was paid for. The paper says that the Reform UK leader has denied avoiding more than £44,000 of stamp duty on the four-bedroom house in Clacton, which includes a heated swimming pool, after it emerged it had in fact been purchased by his partner: Mr Farage said his partner, Laure Ferrari, had paid for the home with her own funds, and was able to do so as she comes from a wealthy French family. But a ...]]></description> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +0100</pubDate> </item> </channel></rss>
