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.

Lib Dem MP Luke Taylor in last week's debate on social media:
Elon Musk's recent London speech represented "a foreign billionaire, armed with his global megaphone, fanning the flames of division and calling for the overthrow of our democratically elected Government."

When I was in care many of my housemates were Kosovan refugees.
The home sought to get them into local colleges, many had counselling as they had seen their own parents killed. We shared our stories and trauma trying to make community.
Now, the government wants anyone in the way to disappear

How is this not the top story on every news bulletin?
This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.

Imagine if 2000 children had gone missing from boarding schools. How much outrage there would be. Imagine how quickly there would be demands for inquiries and actions. Instead because these are unaccompanied asylum seeking children they will either be ignored or blamed for being trafficked.
