Really positive session on Assistive Technology and the difference innovative tech is making to people's lives at LibDem Spring Conference 2026 with Grace Whitfield, Centre for Care and Katharine Macy, Chair LDDA, Chris Lomax, LibSTEMM.
Steve Darling MP hosted two events on assistive technology and digital exclusion. LibSTEMM chair Chris Lomax attended. Fear not - there are no plans to replace Jennie the dog, who was in attendance too! co-hosted by @royalsociety , @Policy_Connect and the Centre for Care
@YoungLiberalsUK space motion passed as amended by LibSTEMM @LibDemConf. For an independent UK space agency and participation in European satellite projects.
LibSTEMM proposed policy passed! LibDem policy now includes employee organisations, learned societies and trades unions to be harnessed in adult skills provision.
LibSTEMM Chair Chris Lomax talking with the next generation at YL Conference earlier this month in a great session aiming to demystify all things STEMM in UK politics.
I’m incredibly proud to have been appointed to the #LibDems frontbench team as Spokesperson for London.
I will champion Londoners’ priorities and hold the government and Mayor of London to account.

@JoshMatthewsLD Very!
Sorry in advance @TweetingCollins for your future conference diaries 😇 although our receptions are well attended and catered 🍷
But it’s going to be awesome working with you to cement the @LibDems as THE party of STEMM and evidence based policy 🔶
Very proud that today at #LibDems Conference in Brighton we have committed to a fair funding deal for hospices.
Here's my open letter to #Sutton & #Cheam residents on why I'm making this cause a priority as your MP.
A terrific final night @LibDemConf for us all to build on leaving Brighton and cement the @LibDems as THE party of science, technology, STEMM, and evidence based policy 🧪📱⚙️🧮🧬
A wave of @LibDems energy is bringing people together politically and professionally
Great to see so many people last night from @techUK, @StartupCltn, Digital Lib Dems, @LibSTEMM, and plenty of others
Headlined by @Bobby_Dean MP 🔶
Great to see long time engineer and @LibSTEMM member @LukeTaylorLD at our conference 🔶
With 72 MPs the @LibDems are in a better position than ever to show we’re the party of STEMM and evidence in policy 🧪📱⚙️🧮🧬
Really enjoyed speaking alongside @ClaireforTAY at tonight’s @LibSTEMM fringe event at #LibDemConference2024.
As an engineer by training, it’s great to be in a room where people like it when I talk statistics.
We need more people in STEMM elected to inform policy!

The most unequivocally positive vision and comprehensive plan. Sustainability connections out there will recognise the UN Sustainable Development Goals flowing throughout the manifesto 🌐

🔶 The most positive moment of my time in politics so far might just be standing behind our manifesto for this general election. I'm beyond proud to see what a combination of all parts of the @LibDems can achieve

I'd challenge anyone to watch @EdwardJDavey's election broadcast and question whether he's in politics for the right reasons. And whether the @LibDems get it. And whether we have our eyes fixed on the plans we all need for social care and the NHS 🔶

Good progress from the EU 🇪🇺
The more large firms are required to align to trajectories that meet environmental and social goals, the more that value chains get pulled towards sustainability 🌍
But enforcement (ideally through collaboration) is vital https://t.co/vhnsnu9tmo
Turns out that coal, North Sea oil and gas, and delaying boiler and electric car roadmaps don’t do you any favours in climate court 🧑⚖️

@robblackie has also run a thoroughly positive campaign for Mayor of London 🏙️ based around the real material impacts of the Mayor: fixing the Met Police, putting London back at the forefront of addressing the climate emergency, standing up for European citizens, and much more 🔶
