The ECHR guarantees the right to life and a fair trial. It protects freedom of speech. It prohibits torture, slavery, and discrimination. Reform want to get rid of it. Relieved that the @libdems.org.uk protected it in parliament yesterday.

Liberal Democrats @libdems.org.uk · 4d

Liberal Democrat MPs just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.

Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him.

Graphic showing a laughing Nigel Farage - above are the words Lib Dems defeat Farage's plan to undermine our Human Rights

The community in St Margaret’s got together for some fun events today to support the Moormead Pavilion. Moormead Park is like our communal garden and we need toilets and space for sports teams and schools that use the space. Thanks to @munirawilson.bsky.social for joining.

Today is the FINAL day to object to the damaging #TDRA plans.

These plans threaten our river’s biodiversity and better alternatives haven’t even been properly considered.

If you object, email your objection to [email protected] (include your name + postcode).

I worked with Janet at the DfE - she was my fellow policy adviser (supporting Lib Dem ministers). She was brilliant and cares more about local government than anyone I've ever met so if you happen to live in her ward do vote for her.

Luke Taylor MP @luketaylorld.bsky.social · Aug 10

Proud to join friends from across London in West Hampstead on Saturday to support the brilliant Janet Grauberg in the by-election happening on 28th August.

…a Lab Cllr defected to the Cons, then resigned after being filmed abusing a local shopkeeper…no wonder residents were behind Janet to win!

Good to see the Mayor finally recognise this as the right thing to do for Londoners whose livelihoods have been put on hold, and lives thrown into chaos.

And a big win for the London Liberal Democrats on the GLA who have kept up the fight on this.

International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate progress, but also to reflect on how we can make women safer and amplify their voices. Together, we can take action to end violence against women and girls. #vawg #whiteribbon #accelerateaction

International Women’s Day celebrates success but also recognises that to achieve real gender equality we must take action together.

Women’s safety is not just a women’s issue—it’s everyone’s responsibility. Tomorrow we walk to stop violence against women and girls. Please join us. #accelerateaction

Definitely worth a read to grasp the sheer scale and danger of Musk’s influence. It’s alarming how an unelected individual can gain such power over institutions that should be better protected from outside control.

Great to partner with the RFU and Met Police on our @whiteribbonuk.bsky.social work. Standing up, speaking out, and showing that working together we can change the culture that lets violence against women and girls happen. We all need to call it out and stop #vawg

This is such a pity. I understand the owners are doing it as part of the development but I really hope that they make sure it remains free and available to us public.

A third runway at Heathrow would worsen air quality and noise pollution for thousands in London - while increasing carbon emissions globally. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social should prioritise sustainable infrastructure projects that boost the economy without harming the planet youtube.com/watch?v=jsnV...

A third runway at Heathrow would be bad for the environment, bad for local communities & bad for the UK’s ambitious climate goals. I’ve joined four Lib Dem colleagues to write to Transport Secretary @heidialexander.bsky.social asking the Gvt to reject these proposals once and for all.

We cannot change the past or undo the atrocities of the Holocaust, but we must learn from it. Survivors warn how it crept up—discrimination, powerful rhetoric, dehumanisation, then murder. Never forget, always act. #NeverAgain #HolocaustMemorialDay #WeRemember

Great speaking to #Alperton residents today! It’s clear Charlie Clinton is needed to tackle fly-tipping like this and ensure the money raised from new developments funds proper infrastructure for locals. Vote @libdems.org.uk on 18 Feb to make it happen!
