I'd also like to make it clear that I now consider attempts to question me on my Assigned Sex At Birth to be the equivalent of asking what my genitals look like and will therefore be considering them sexual harassment going forwards.
Following the announcement by the Lib Dems returning officer on quotas in our federal elections I would like to make it clear I spent many hours and more emails trying to point out that this decision went against the expressed will of conference barely a month ago.

If I ever stop reposting this just assume I've been kidnapped...
For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today....
This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

Nice to see I'm living rent free in someone's head. Hilariously they're frothing at the mouth and basically calling me the head of some trans cabal in the Lib Dems and their 'evidence' is something I wasn't even tangentially involved in 😂😂😂

I am now very very married!
Pics are me and my beautiful and exceptionally talented wife who made my shirt and her dress (and the rest of the wedding party shirts) and the wedding cakes (which I decorated and iced)

We, the Liberal Democrats only official women's group, wholeheartedly stand by the amazing Woman that Cllr Chris Northwood is.
She is an inspiration to many within the party with her dedication to the party and her constituents.
She is a very deserving winner.

The Express asked us about awarding the Patsy Carlton Prize to Cllr Chris Northwood. We responded:
"This prize acknowledged an exceptional woman in Cllr Chris Northwood. The message it sends to women members and voters is that the Liberal Democrats honour and value all of our women members."

Got harassed by a little gang of right wingers outside Lib Dem conference. They really picked on the least intimidatable 3 people.
"Are you connected to the Lib Dems?"
"Not physically."

"Where are the 50k jobs for illegals going to come from?"
*cackling*
"Oh you think that's funny?"
"Yes."

Interesting that every time we discuss women's rights at Lib Dem Conference the group that claims to care so deeply about "the rights of women and girls" is completely and utterly absent.

Yes, that's why the NHS is in crisis, because people who might need it are trying to use it.

Yesterday the 11-year-old decided to childsplain to me that "ur" is slang for "your." So, I tried to convince her that back when I was a kid, "Ur" referred to the ancient Sumerian city-state. She wasn't SURE I was lying, so I consider it a win.

Tonight Parliament failed disabled people.
🥀 Labour voted down my amendment to scrap unfair bus pass restrictions.
🌳 The Conservatives whipped their MPs to abstain.
🚌 This isn’t good enough. I won’t stop until disabled people get the fair, accessible transport they deserve.

Made a sort of Thai Chicken and root vegetable soup the other day and I felt it was important to remember I had put peanut butter in.

But genuinely if you are rich enough to consider buying these then you can donate the 40 quid to charity or my honeymoon fund or something!
And today in "rich people have too much money." Silver plated fake mussel shells to eat mussels with. You would have to be the spiders Georg of eating mussels to justify that uni-tasker!
