At least @eddavey.libdems.org.uk is posting on here and speaking up for people's rights.
Today marks the beginning of Pride Month - now more than ever, we must stand with the LGBTQ+ community.

I want to make clear that our party will keep fighting - until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are.
