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."

Just because I'm on my way home from #LDConf: imagine if all the neurodivergent queers who sit on the various lib dem committees got a living wage for it and could devote all the time they wanted to it?
Apart from anything else conference would SPARKLE.

Neurodivergent folks should all be paid a stipend to do things we like to do, and the world would end up benefiting from it.
The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this.
I don’t view it as a Me problem.

Shamim Mohammed shares her experience of domestic abuse and coercive control. When she was homeless and powerless she was turned away by police and social services because she had no recourse to public funds. No woman should be left without the means to house, feed and support herself. #ldconf

So many fantastic speeches on this motion - from Lizzy Adundo of our sister party ODM Kenya on her fight for women’s rights, from @hinabokharild.bsky.social about the abuse she’s faced on social media, from Julie Adnams-Hatch on the ways women’s pain is overlooked and our health neglected #ldconf

Lizzie from our Kenyan sister party highlights how 40% of Kenyan women endure domestic violence and highlights the programmes which given women safe escape. “Kenyan women are crying out for help despite facing brutal retaliation. We can’t abandon them now.” #ldconf
