Thanks to the slightly irritating limit of 60 second videos on here I am having to link to my Facebook page to publish my speeches at Lib Dem Conference in Bournemouth.
The first is about how Hong Kongers should have the right to pass on their language freely and without fear.

Honoured to meet with visiting members of the Japanese Diet, Mssrs Edano, Funada and Koichi. We discussed the opportunity to strengthen Japan-UK relations at a time when our liberal democracies feel under threat. We also shared our experience of the role of parliament in scrutinising government.

I’m old enough to remember when Conservative Party leaders believed in law and order.
Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?

Calls for better late night buses to help keep city's nightlife alive and people safe
The city council should “ignite the night” by supporting businesses and residents to get out and “fuel Sheffield’s night time economy,” says a leading Liberal Democrats councillor.

Statehood is not conditional upon the actions of other states. Palestine is either a state or it isn't, it shouldn't be dependent on the whims of an untrustworthy government lead by Netanyahu.
Disgraceful that Starmer uses it as a bargaining chip.

The Liberal Democrats welcome this first step but urge Keir Starmer to go further and recognise Palestine immediately.
Far greater action is also needed to address the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including fully ceasing arms sales and imposing sanctions on the Israeli cabinet.

Politicians and journalists have a tense relationship but we shouldn't relish when journalism suffers. In the world of AI and disinformation the need to have someone able to investigate and find the truth is important.
This is shortsighted and deeply worrying.

I don't think it's really reasonable to say that Labour are the same as the Tories, but it is weird how many of their MPs are determined to sound like it.

I was suspicious when Labour made zero mention of lifelong learning in their manifesto. It has now been confirmed that they don't care.
In a changing world there is increasing need to upskill and reskill in the workplace, which is now a lot harder thanks to Labour.

What followed was seven of the most tiring weeks of my life.
But it ended with 72 Lib Dem MPs!

This is what you get when an ideological void with no political backbone becomes Prime Minister, a speech that would have sounded harsh coming from a Tory happening purely because they are terrified of local elections results.

With help from the East Ecc ward pot and Ecclesfield Parish Council, these quilts were able to be created to donate to veterans as part of VE Day celebrations.
