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!

So many of us stream music. I’m a Spotify subscriber myself and use it daily. But, as I said in Parliament this week, a new deal is needed to ensure artists get fair payment.

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. For freedom,

It's Pride Month 2025 - wherever you are, we hope you have a safe one. 🧡🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

People have rightly been asking what we mean when we say we @libdems.org.uk need to 'do better' or 'step up' as a party. There's no such thing as 'done' of course - but this is what we're pushing for currently.

A graphic of three intersex progress Pride flags behind a white box, reading:
"What does 'better' look like?
Revise the Equality Act to:
•	Protect trans+ and disabled rights
•	Protect bodily & medical autonomy for all
•	Recognise non-binary, agender & intersex folks
•	Codify trans-inclusive meanings of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ in law, as originally intended
De-medicalise the GRC process
Enshrine self-ID in law, as it is in Ireland
Abolish the spousal veto
Scrap the ban on puberty blockers
Scrap plans for ‘chemical castration’
A trans-inclusive ban on ‘conversion therapy’
Ensure same-sex access to IVF treatment
Clear out and reform the EHRC so it protects, rather than diminishes, rights
Protect LGBT+ expression in public life"
The LGBT+ Liberal Democrats logo, with the rainbow bird-of-liberty, is at the bottom.

It was a great pleasure to host @claireyoungmp.bsky.social last night here in Bristol!

She addressed many concerns of young voters (mostly non-LibDem!) from housing crisis to party policy to Britain’s NIMBYism question - she even stayed an extra hour to answer more Qs than scheduled🧡 (1/2)

Today I had the pleasure to meet with Politics students from Sir Thomas Rich's School.

I responded that I support lowering the voting age, and that the most rewarding part of my job is to have returned voters their hope. The other most rewarding part of this job is engaging with young people.

The Government must urgently start cross-party talks on social care before it is too late.

We know the problems. It's time to get all parties round the table and agree the solutions.

On International Men's Day, we celebrate the positive contributions of men and boys in our society.

We also recognise issues disproportionately affecting men's wellbeing. Men continue to face higher levels of rough sleeping, lower life expectancy, and higher rates of suicide.
