I'm planning to give Janey first preference for the LD Federal Board vote - I've worked with her in the past pushing for restorative justice in our policies, she's a great liberal with a good sense of where the party needs to go and someone who's willing to stick her neck out for progressive change.

I had the pleasure of chairing the Lib Dem Women fringe, Drifting apart: Gen Z's political gender gap, at conference. From the role of social media companies to the need for us to talk about real issues affecting young men, we discussed the shift of young men to the right and how we should respond

We are proud that our party voted unanimously to pass our policy motion, Defending Women's Rights Across the Globe, at conference on Tuesday.

Thank you Care International for your ongoing work championing global gender equality.

CARE International UK @careintuk.bsky.social · 14d

Women’s rights are under attack worldwide & the UK must respond. Yesterday the @libdems.org.uk did.

Championed by @libdemwomen.bsky.social & @monicaharding.bsky.social, we welcome their pledge to put women & girls at the heart of the UK’s global role, dedicating 20% of aid to gender equality.

I am immensely proud of my work in drafting this motion alongside others in Liberal Democrat Women and the Federal International Relations Committee.

We as Liberal Democrats must lead the way in fighting against the global backlash to gender equality.

Liberal Democrats @libdems.org.uk · 14d

Women’s rights around the world are under attack, with authoritarianism on the rise and deep cuts to UK aid undermining decades of progress.

Access to education, healthcare, and protection from violence is being eroded – threatening justice, equality, and stability.
