I firmly believe that there can be no peace until General Klaus retreats back to behind the 11th November Armistice line. The continued Klausian occupation of October cannot be allowed to continue.

A really excellent letter.
The Liberal Democrats are clear: Trans Rights are Human Rights and we will defend them.

The voices of trans people must be heard in Parliament.️ I’ve urged full scrutiny of EHRC’s guidance, which risks undermining their rights. Lib Dems call on the Government to protect everyone fairly and ensure people aren’t excluded from safe facilities or public life.

This is an excellent first step Marie. Thank you for speaking up for us.

Thank you, Tom - you're quite right. Thank you for all your work as the Lib Dem MP on the Joint Committee on Human Rights. 🧡
The Council of Europe has warned that the UK gov’s treatment of trans people may breach human rights law.
This must be a wake up call.
We’ve seen an increase in hostility towards trans in recent years.
Everyone deserves dignity, safety, & respect - that includes trans people.

Idk who needs to hear this but direct action and political violence are not the same thing, and without direct action we wouldn't have the vote.
Direct action ≠ political violence. A window and a building is property - nobody was hurt. Let’s not conflate smashing glass with hurting people.

If I was an untethered trans voter right now who wanted a Party with a leader who would unflinchingly and unreservedly back me and my community, I'd find it hard to vote LibDem right now, because @eddavey.libdems.org.uk has steadfastly refused, over and over, to back trans people when it counts.
YES ZACK! Finally a politician that answers the question and takes no shit.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

We're just not though. It was Zack Polanski running rings around Reform in QT last night. The Greens have overtaken us in members. We are being outflanked and HQ is too blind to see it Ed.

I am getting quite fed up with the LibDem Leaders Office insisting that the only politically-engaged people worth talking to are ex-Tories.
I don't want fiscally conservative anti-investment austerity supporting Tories in my Party. I want left leaning folks who place individual liberty first.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

We don't know exactly what happened, and if the guy hadn't tried to blow the synagogue up in the first place, those people would still be alive. This is still on him. But also, cops accidentally shooting people is definitely bad and we shouldn't pretend it isn't.
