Delighted that the @libdems.org.uk showed yet again that we reject the assault on trans people’s rights promoted by the small anti trans group in the party. #ldconf

This is ... not what the Malicious Communications act is meant to be about. This is (in my non-legal view) deliberate wrongful arrest to get them off the street for the immediate next day or so.

Reminder that the Lib Dems have continually campaigned to: 👩‍👩‍👦‍👦 Scrap the Two child Benefit Cap 🧓Keep Triple Lock Pension ❄️ Keep Winter Fuel Payments 🇪🇺 Closer ties with EU 🗳Proportional Representation 💦 💩 Clean up waterways 🌎 Net Zero 🇵🇸 Ceasefire in Gaza/ 🇺🇸 Stand up to Trump #LibDems 🔶🔶🔶🔶

Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it. The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.

Liberal Democrat Women have worked closely with Christine Jardine MP for many years and we are incredibly grateful to have her as our Honorary President.

Thank you Christine for all your wonderful work as our Women and Equalities Spokesperson and for your support last night ⭐️

I've never been prouder to work for @cajardinemp.bsky.social than in the last 24 hours. Defending the most vulnerable should be Liberalism 101.

The Government should stop tying themselves in endless knots and put this bill out of its misery.

These people are heroes

Our doors are OPEN! 🚪🎉🍾💖

This is really awful. Peter was a hero

100 MPs have now signed NC20 to give women in England and Wales the human right women in Northern Ireland have to a safe and legal abortion. Swipe to see if your MP is one of them — and what to do if they aren’t! Here’s the petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

This is the attitude of the SNP to our Education staff laid bare. Utter contempt.

Abortion laws exist not because medical technology can’t do amazing things, but because tragedy can be part of anyone’s parenting journey. Stand with those who need us to fight for their rights most when their world is crumbling- join us protecting safe abortion access as a human right.

The thread about the Beechmount Institute, home of the Edinburgh Radium Bomb Beechmount is a rather grand house situated in 8 acres of leafy grounds in the Murrayfield district of Edinburgh. It's been on and off the property market in recent years and although the listings make reference to its…

IDAHOBIT: Jamie Greene MSP: if SNP won’t ban conversion practices they should let me do it www.libdemvoice.org/idahobit-jam...

How Lib Dem Cllrs are fighting for LGBT rights feat @euandavidson.bsky.social @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social @assoclibdemcllrs.bsky.social @libdemwomen.bsky.social @pluslibdems.bsky.social www.libdemvoice.org/idahobit-how...

A hateful thing to say. People whose approach to life is not faith-based have done enormous good, majority non-religious societies have been some of the strongest proponents of human dignity and solidarity. Why is the BBC just printed this unchallenged? If it's "news", it should be balanced.

The Liberal Democrats are now the second largest party of local government, and we’re on track to overtake the Conservatives at the next general election. Across the country, voters have chosen our community politics over the Conservatives’ division and disdain.

With all of the attacks on LGBT+ rights lately. This is a disgrace The SNP have kicked ending harmful conversion therapies into the long grass, as well bringing in anti misogyny laws They are not standing up for anyone www.heraldscotland.com/news/2513454...

We are incredibly disappointed to see that the Scottish Government will not progress a bill to end conversion practices before the election next year. Please read our statement with LGBT Health & Wellbeing, LEAP Sports and LGBTYS. www.equality-network.org/joint-statem...

Shameful cowardice

Last month the Edinburgh Drug & Alcohol Partnership sent the below out due to the sad & scandalous rate of Lothians' drug deaths. While drugs policy needs reformed & funded, in the meantime pls see below & note North East Edin recovery hub is located in Leith: www.edinburghadp.co.uk/services/nor...

Chemistry, physics, biology - all hundreds of trainee teachers short. Only 16 computing teachers being trained this year. We’ll need homegrown skills if we’re going to lead in new industries, but how are we going to compete if our schools can’t teach these subjects properly?

You know I said I was contacting Spoons to find out how they were going to deal with the toilet issue? Well... Get rekt transphobes. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

77% of LGBTQ+ millennials want to start a family yet only 3 out of 42 ICBs in England fund fertility treatment for same-sex couples. This Lesbian Visibility Week, I asked the Government for a debate on ending fertility access discrimination. Families shouldn't face barriers because of who they love.

As a survivor of multiple sexual assaults I actually couldn't be more disgusted by Bridget Phillipson's statement. Using the traumatic experiences of people like me to defend denying people also like me access to treatment, support and services is utterly vile and despicable.

Thank you, @cajardinemp.bsky.social. It's important LGBT+ folks see @libdems.org.uk walking the walk. Glad to have you with us. 💛

We have just entered a civil rights emergency by @chrisn.xyz www.libdemvoice.org/we-have-just...

I am increasingly disappointed that the concerns of the #LGBTQ+ community over what the Supreme Court judgement means for them are not yet being addressed. I have written to the Government asking them to make clear how trans and non binary rights will be protected.

Yesterday the Supreme Court said (having refused to hear from any trans people): "this interpretation would not be disadvantageous to or remove protection from trans people with or without a GRC." Today. Trans women - and gender non conforming cis women - are now going to be 'frisked' by men. 👇🏻

I know my Trans & Non Binary friends will be worried, scared & confused today The courts judgement needs careful consideration to understand its impact. Trans voices were not included yet this ruling affects them most. That’s deeply troubling. Please know you are loved & accepted as you are 🏳️‍⚧️💛

Saturday 19th April 1pm Foot of the Mound - Resist transphobia! Resist erasure! Resist the UK Supreme Court ruling! We will gather at 1pm at the Foot of the Mound - in front of the National Gallery. We will rally with speeches for 30 minutes, and then march to the UK Government building.

This is simply awful. Val was of the kindest people in the chamber. A real loss to the City.

I have found the past 24 hours difficult. Too many people I know are now afraid of what the Supreme Court judgement will mean for them. We need clarity and we need it quickly and we need to know that their rights will be protected, with a compassionate solution.

The level of injustice is just so extreme They had a hearing about what rights, what freedoms, what future trans people have... without a single trans person being involved, yet multiple with hate groups They decided we don't deserve equality. Then said "no one won"

Today is a tough day for all trans and non binary people and those who love them. The outcome of this judgement is that trans people’s lives become inherently more difficult and no woman, cis or trans, is any safer.

Statement by Translucent providing some context… Written by a lawyer with decades of experience in this area.

We are studying today's judgement by the UK Supreme Court. Nothing they rule will change our solidarity with the trans+ community and with everyone who seeks to live their lives under control of their own bodies, and free from poverty, ignorance or conformity.

I am the first MP to be refused entry on arrival to Hong Kong since 1997. Authorities gave me no explanation for this cruel and upsetting blow. I hope the Foreign Secretary will recognise that this is an insult to all parliamentarians and seek answers from the Chinese Ambassador.

Wera just wanted to visit her son in Hong Kong and meet her baby grandson for the first time. But after a 13-hour flight, the Chinese authorities turned her away – just because she’s a British MP. So heartless. And totally unacceptable.

This is horrible. It's time the UK Government got some backbone rather than kowtowing to the CCP

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

Our newest MSP, Jamie Greene! With Jamie on our team, Scottish Liberal Democrats will keep making our voices heard on the issues that matter - getting you fast access to health care, lifting up Scottish education and growing our economy. #sldconf

This morning @scotlibdems.org.uk reaffirmed our commitment to taking real action on the failure to tackle Scotland's shameful drugs crisis

#SLDconf passes the emergency motion on Creating World Class Drug Services. Edinburgh Western MSP @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk & Cllr @euandavidson.bsky.social highlight the desperate need for progressive harm reduction measures; extra £2.6m for drug & neonatal services & support for a SCR as a start.

Ed Davey calls on the Prime Minister to form an 'economic coalition of the willing' against Trump's tariffs Starmer says Davey is pushing a 'false choice' between the US and Europe #PMQs

Delighted that UoS aren't backing down. The ability to call someone's views transphobic is as important a part of free speech (if not more) than the ability to express those views.
