This is how you defeat the far right - counter with a positive message rather than aping their rhetoric.

De grootste D66 uitslag ooit én dat hebben we gevierd! Wat een avond. We wachten in spanning op de definitieve uitslag, maar één ding weten we zeker: wij willen onze positieve missie voortzetten en het beste in elkaar naar boven halen voor álle Nederlanders!

Anyone who cares about the rule of law must deplore that any right thinking MP would even contemplate leaving the Convention that the UK drafted. #Shocking

Cambridge's Labour MP abstained on Farage's Bill to leave the #ECHR yesterday, while the @LibDems stood up for human rights & dignity. We deserve better.

Could those who think about voting Reform please reflect on the fact that they platformed the vaccine denying Aseem Malhotra? Apparently the Party Conference was told that the King got cancer because of the COVID vaccine. This kind of disinformation kills children and adults.

Ms Badenoch has a law degree and must know better. Her reaction to the Court of Appeal makes me question not just her legal qualifications... in my view it was the High Court's previous ruling that put the rights of violent thugs above those seeking asylum bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8e1…
