We must fight for a fair society. Scraping jury trials will only lead to more unfair prejudice and concentration of power away from the people, to the state.

It's conference time!

Day 1 saw a visit from Ed, the awarding of the Emily Price award, policy on Israel/Palestine, equal representation and drug laws, our first conference rally with some brilliant young councillors and our YL MP, and then a brilliant quiz to top it off!

A joint statement from YL and our branches regarding the Online Safety Bill.
Young liberals' concerns over the online safety bill It was never about protecting the young for Labour. With the convenient excuse of online safety, this government has restricted access to: footage from protests across the UK footage from Gaza, Ukraine and many more zones of atrocity support forums for sexual assault victims and LGBT+ activism Discord, Reddit, Wikipedia and many more sites of social discussion All in under 24 hours OfCom's unchecked power to dictate what is "harmful" risks silencing dissent and chilling open discourse, particularly for those who dare to challenge the status quo. We are concerned that this is an effort to gain control over what we say, what we see, and how we think, given that this government has repeatedly shown a lack of respect for freedom of speech, expression, and protest. Who will stop them if they come for encryption and VPNs? Who will protect our sensitive data in the hands of private companies? Therefore, we, the Young Liberals, strongly encourage our federal party to speak against this draconian attack on free speech and society under the guise of online safety.

Our statement on Puberty Blockers
Today is a sad day for Trans Kids. Livesaving Puberty Blockers have been indefinitely banned by Wes Streeting. Trans kids met with Streeting and spoke about how this decision would affect them, and how poorly this would impact their mental health. He has ignored their concerns, he has ignored the Council of Europe on the ethical questions they have raised and he has instead chosen to praise anti-trans activists and talk about anti-trans dog whistles such as ‘sex-based rights’. The Labour Government has at every opportunity chosen to reject the march of progress on matters of trans equality such as GRA reform, trans access to gender spaces and now Puberty Blockers. While his statement may sound compassionate, his decision will severely negatively affect the lives of trans kids across the UK. Studies have shown that usage of Puberty Blockers improves mental health outcomes. He chose to ignore these. His lack of acknowledgment of the heartbreaking story of a young trans boy who has been driven to anorexia in a desperate attempt to stop his puberty shows how little he and the Labour Government care for trans kids. We’re proud of Lib Dem MP Vikki Slade and other MPs from across the House for challenging this awful decision. The Young Liberals will always stand up for trans equality and will stand up for Trans Kids,even when Labour and the Conservatives refuse to.
