We lost Charles Kennedy ten years ago today.

A decade on I will campaign with his spirit in my heart

I/we WILL stand up for liberal values, even if it’s to stand up to our own in the process, and I/we WILL change hearts and minds via the grassroots and up.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇

1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK

2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves

3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward
The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

Per square FT three times over the most luxurious building known to be built. Average is $2-300 for gov project like this, Trumps is $3,333.

Probably fine, probably nothing to be seen here

My manifesto below. Alt text provided.

Emphasis on representation, power, accountability and grassroots growth/empowerment.
April Preston : Federal Council My pitch: The Liberal Democrats have a proud tradition of grassroots member power. But that tradition has faltered when it comes to welcoming working class and marginalised voices into leadership. As the party rebuilds, we need people who embody both liberal values and lived experience. I bring that voice and ensure our party not only speaks about inclusion but acts on it. If elected, I will scrutinise the Board’s actions, demand transparency, and advocate for policies that open up and share power Experience & Impact: Grassroots campaigner taking a seat in Student and Working class area with no resources to marginal. Worked from the bottom up. Project Manager for a leading charity foundation, delivering multi stakeholder programmes and driving measurable social impact. Proven track record changing UK law on gender based violence and leading national campaigns. Skilled in strategic communications, public affairs, and PRINCE2 trained. Led the charge by raising membership voices to get Liberal Democrats disciplinary system to include anonymous repotting and brought attention in a way people could understand what needed to be improved. Shortlisted by European Parliament to attend Alliance of Her feminist leadership training. Graduated 2023. Masters educated (but don’t let that put you off).
