The uproar over @realDonaldTrump Gaza plans show how dangerous he has become in just a few short weeks. The UK needs to stand up to his bullying and should now recognise Palestinian state without delay. @LibDems #Gaza #Trump

In opp, @UKLabour often quoted @bankofengland against @Conservatives. BofE has downgraded UK growth forecast from 1.5% to 0.75% & warned inflation could reach 3.7% by autumn, partly blaming biz tax hikes. What will @RachelReevesMP do to boost confidence & keep her fiscal rules?

. @KemiBadenoch wants to imitate @realDonaldTrump victimising legitimate migrants. Desperate to stop @ReformUK she will say anything to prop up dwindling @Conservatives regardless of morality or practicality of her pronouncements. @LibDems

. @RachelReevesMP needs to bring some coherence to her plans for growth. Growth is flat & Govt's £9bn fiscal headroom has evaporated. @UKLabour gives the appearance of being buffeted by events, not managing them. @LibDems

As US Govt turns increasingly erratic & expansionist we can no longer rely on America to promote our beliefs and priorities. EU much more reliable & synergetic partner. #BrexitDisaster #Trump #US #EU @LibDems

Despite Brussels visit, @KierStarmer has made no real progress resetting relations with #EU. No wonder his own team reportedly once saw him as more of a 'Manager' than Prime Minister. We lost 4% of GDP due to #BrexitDisaster. Trade with #US comes nowhere near replacing this loss

The @Thameswater plans to get £3bn loan now in doubt following court ruling. This failing entity should be placed into administration. We are now seeing the results of @Conservatives & @Ofwat failure to police a #water industry crippled by poor performance & high debts @LibDems

Good to see UK joining #EU leaders at talks today. It is delusional to think that POTUS trade assault on allies will not impact us. We are weaker since #BrexitDisaster in spite of what non dom billionaire newspaper owners would like u to believe. @DailyMail @theSun @LibDems

Political threats by #USA to #Canada are unacceptable. Canada is a commonwealth nation & ally & should be supported. @JustinTrudeau @realDonaldTrump @LibDems @EdwardJDavey

Chaotic approach to govt shown by @realDonaldTrump in his 1st term is now being amplified in his second. The on-off Federal funding freeze, Greenland Grab & reaction to aircraft tragedy show why UK cannot rely on unpredictable US for favoured status. #POTUS @LibDems #USA

On fifth anniversary of #BrexitDisaster we are a poorer, much diminished country. It also did not stop uncontrolled migration & those @Conservatives blaming its poor implementation were in charge of getting it done. Time to admit it was a mistake & fix it. @EdwardJDavey @LibDems

Growing calls for #Brexit reversal as even loud leavers like @piersmorgan now calling for a rethink. @ PMQ's @EdwardJDavey rightly puts @KeirStarmer under pressure to re-join EU customs union & stimulate his much-desired growth. #BrexitDisaster #piersmorgan @LibDems

Reed, one of the UK's largest recruiters, says we are in the 30th consecutive period of declining vacancies. A record. A slow-motion car crash for the economy which @RachelReevesMP new-found optimism is doing nothing to reverse. @LibDems #jobs
