We lost Charles Kennedy ten years ago today.
A decade on I will campaign with his spirit in my heart
I/we WILL stand up for liberal values, even if it’s to stand up to our own in the process, and I/we WILL change hearts and minds via the grassroots and up.

6th Jan 1979 - Kevin Cummins took photos of Joy Division in a wintry Manchester.
I loved investigating the story davehaslam.substack.com/p/ian-curtis...
From a Wimpy Bar in Bradford, then to a wedding, a club called the ‘Glory Hole’, a sculpture called Alice, and an old mill near a river.

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

It's clear Brexit was a mistake. But the Government is not going far enough to fix it. This year they must negotiate a EU-UK Customs Union to:
📈Boost growth
✂️Cut red tape for businesses
💵Tackle the cost of living crisis
We @libdems.org.uk will continue fighting to fix our relationship with Europe.
