Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years.
Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.

Petition: Apply for the UK to rejoin the EU fully - do not just 'reset' the relationship
I think the UK needs to rejoin the EU fully for maximum economic benefit and to restore influence rather than merely 'reset' relations.

Too many lives in the LGBTQ+ community have been blighted by discrimination and hate.
Liberal Democrats will always stand up against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia.

Reform voters voted for Brexit, causing the small boat crossings and removing our right to return people to Europe.
They will have waved their Union flags vigorously on VE day whilst supporting a party/actions that are the direct opposite of what people fought and died for in WW2.
Utter madness.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack.
I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

Transphobia is no more "acceptable" than any other form of bigotry, and I continue to be absolutely astounded, shocked, and revolted that otherwise "liberal" people think otherwise.
