Islington Lib Dems back out in force! If you fancy coming along to help us please let me know!

The last two weeks have been a tough one for @libdems.org.uk members, through no fault of their own. We're grateful to the huge number of members, internal election candidates, and fellow Affiliated Organisations like @libdemwomen.bsky.social who have stood alongside us. Statement below:

Can the UK actually have ambition for once?

Currently in my Sriracha era 💅

Important update on party rules from LGBT+ Lib Dems 👇

Done my democratic duty 🫡 @joshbabarinde.bsky.social

Victoria is brilliant. She has my endorsement and my vote. I just know she'd be fab!! #Victoria4VP

We're doing an action day in Islington next week with @victoria-collins.bsky.social ! Please do come along if you can.

Since May's local elections, Liberal Democrats have won more council seats than Labour, the Conservatives and the Green Party put together. We are taking on Nigel Farage’s divisive politics and standing up for our British values as a caring and decent country.

Nigel Farage's Halloween Horror 🎃

Happy Halloween Nigel 🎃

The Lib Dems are the most successful party at holding our seats. And after people see how hardworking our local champions are who can blame them?

Congratulations to @d66.nl and @vvdonline.bsky.social for their success in the Netherlands elections this week!

That fact I can just catch a train and an hour later I'm in continental Europe reminds me how much I love being European. One day, one day we'll be back 🇪🇺

The best way to travel to the continent

Got another cheeky lil stamp on the Eurostar for my passport I guess the EU Entry/Exit system isn't ready yet?

I'm off to Amsterdam! 🇳🇱

Voting is open! Thank you to everyone who has supported my campaign so far. Remember to vote early and rank me #1 for Federal Board!

The face you make when you’re in a crowded space and you start to smell something very bad indeed. Then you realise it’s Farage spouting verbal sewage. #VictoriaCollinsMP

D66 on top!!!

So many of Women's rights in the UK are upheld by the ECHR. So proud that the party led the opposition to this dreadful motion, it's clear only the Lib Dems will stand up for Human Rights.

The Labour Benches were empty. Only the Liberal Democrats have the guts to stand up for our Human Rights.

In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people. goodlaw.social/ncfw

Just re-upping this for the morning folks.

Our party's refusal to stand up for it's Liberal Values on trans rights is costing us votes and members. That MUST change.

This...

“After all, who wouldn’t want a free, fair and open society? Well, as it would seem, quite a lot of people.” Important read 👇

Please see below my article for Lib Dem Voice titled 'Have we forgotten what we stand for?'. In it I talk about why so many young and diverse members feel disillusionment with the party and what I believe needs to change. www.libdemvoice.org/have-we-forg...

Given that the Lib Dem bureaucracy have now gone full TERF, I suggest any party members who follow me do what Jennie's done here, because otherwise if you've ever ticked a box on an equalities form and you're trans, they're now going to be treating you as your AGAB.

Even on the darkest nights the Islington Lib Dems are out in force

Lib Dems, I know there are many concerns about the updates to Lib Dem quotas - and your voices deserve to be heard. I've already shared concerns that have been raised with me but please share your feedback where I'll take this straight to Lib Dem leadership. forms.gle/DsUxGyGyWb8z...

I wish the Party didn't make it so darn hard to be a Lib Dem. 😥

Not happy at all with the Lib Dems right now. Don't think I've been this disappointed and appalled since I joined.

Cllr Chris Northwood is a phenomenal campaigner and advocate for our liberal values. I am proud to have her support for my Federal Board campaign! @chrisn.xyz

Utterly appalling. The idea that the keys to power would be handed to a party who's MPs openly spout racist rhetoric should worry all of us.

An appalling statistic that only further shows how Women are an afterthought in Healthcare.

A great team out in St Mary's and St James' today!!

Finding out that across England and Wales 86% of bike thefts went unsolved between March 2024 and March 2025

Thank you so much!! Looking forward to voting for you for FPC too

A really lovely final @youngliberalsuk.bsky.social exec meeting today. It's been a great 3 years and I'm really proud of all the things I've been able to achieve. Thank you to all the other officers I've served with, and a huge good luck to the new co-ADI officers Jack and Scarlett!

I'm backing the amazing @janeyislittle.bsky.social for Federal board and you should too!!

A really excellent letter. The Liberal Democrats are clear: Trans Rights are Human Rights and we will defend them.
