𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻!

Last week, both presidential candidates were approached by Sky News and the BBC.

I’ve got a track record of using my platform as an MP to secure coverage. As President, I’d shout about more of our values and campaigns - but I need your #1 preference to do that!

🧐 Residents I met remarked they saw more of me than their own MP, who is missing in action locally.
✊ Nowhere should be a no-go area for the Liberal Democrats. We are the last line of defence against Reform’s division.

🫱🏻🫲🏾 I’ve been clear that growing our party by reaching more diverse communities - and bolstering support for underrepresented folks within our party - is a top priority for me.

Only 1️⃣ 0️⃣ days left until votes close!

Prue and I are united on this.

🎤 Great to join the South Central Liberal Democrats for the final hustings of the Presidential campaign!

🔶 I was clear that our first duty as a party at this point in our country’s history is to be the last line of defence against populism and division💪

Reform MP Sarah Pochin: “It drives me mad when I see adverts full of Black people, full of Asian people, full of people that are basically anything other than White.”

If the colour of someone else’s skin drives you ‘mad’, you are a Grade-A racist.

🎥Think I’m gonna apply to be in this TV ad.

Sarah Pochin MP, will you be my reference?

📍Camden 🔶

👏 Big congrats to *Cllr* @JGrauberg who led the @LibDems team to a barnstorming victory in last night’s West Hampstead by-election!

🟥🟥🔨This is even more proof that Liberal Democrats can—and must—take the fight to Labour too, even in historically Labour areas 💥

📉 Populists trash our economies.
🌱 Populists trash our environment.
💔 Populists trash our communities.

🔶 Liberal Democrats must be the first and last line of defence against this threat.

📍 Elmbridge 🔶

Congrats Andy Burton and Team @monicaharding.bsky.social on your victory over the Tories and Reform last night!

🤝Was clear when I was on the doorstep there that residents want local champions that put community first—not a race to the bottom of division and intolerance.

📍 Edinburgh 🔶

Awesome to meet LD campaigners in #Edinburgh on my @libdems.org.uk listening tour to hear about what’s needed to triumph in the 2026 Scottish Parliament elections!

Thanks to the brill @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk & team for organising & @cajardinemp.bsky.social & activists for joining!

🟥🟥💥🔨 The Red Wall must be firmly in our sights.

There is so much opportunity here for our party.

If we don’t make the case to disappointed and disaffected Labour voters (while honouring the voter base that supported us in 2024), we know the populists will.
