At a time when our trans siblings and the LGBTQ+ community face growing hostility, manufactured culture-war attacks, and bigotry within our own party, we need strong, inspiring voices to carry the torch and keep fighting for our freedoms and equality.

It’s clear we have them 🧡

From the hundreds of conversations we’ve had this summer, fly-tipping and litter remain two of the biggest concerns. I’m proud of the work @alangoodld.mcrlibdems.uk and @chrisn.xyz have been doing to tackle this, and we’ll keep pushing with others to clean up and restore pride in our area.

It might not feel urgent, but if you’re offered the flu jab, please don’t put it off. Book your appointment and help protect yourself and others this winter.

A massive thank you once again to the incredible NIMP team and to all the GP practices and pharmacies running flu clinics across the city.

In the months ahead, our Lib Dem members will elect the new leaders, policy shapers and changemakers of our party. I know love and unity will prevail. We will stand firm in our principles, trust those who can deliver, and together safeguard a strong liberal future for our party.
