@gm_stone Thank you Greg, I am primed and ready to roll!

[Cllr Jake Austin 🔶 @jakelibdem]

@PushTheSutton Thanks, Tom! 😇

Until now, sex in law has been assumed to be based on your birth certificate (which can be amended by a GRC). The Supreme Court ruling changing it to "biological sex", a much messier definition which isn't binary, without a definition introduces huge uncertainty to the law.

[Cllr Jake Austin 🔶 @jakelibdem]

@MaryRegW I concur! Turn that energy into activism and get involved. 🫡

[Cllr Jake Austin 🔶 @jakelibdem]

If you’re feeling helpless and not sure how you can make a change, I implore you to get involved. Find your political home - wherever you are - and join the fight for global democracy.

[Cllr Jake Austin 🔶 @jakelibdem]

Fellow liberal-minded folk in the UK are bound to feel a sense of dread after the US election.

Just remember, democracy is a constant, and one set-back (even a big one) is never a permanent change.

We reflect, brush ourselves down, and continue the fight for the future. 💪

@LibDemRobReiss Same old trusty wooden spatula! 🥄

[Cllr Jake Austin 🔶 @jakelibdem]

A productive Saturday - advice surgery at the Hazel Grove library, followed by a visit to our first local Worker Bee markets for a long time!

Proud to March today with my GM Lib Dem fam! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[Lisa Smart MP @LisaSmartMP]

Great to be with some Stockport colleagues at @ManchesterPride today!

[Luke Taylor MP @LukeTaylorLD]

The far right thugs who are targeting Muslims, asylum seekers and communities of colour shame us all.

Those who have used the tragic murder of three young children to fan the flames of hate will be held to account.

Hate will not win.

[Cllr Jake Austin 🔶 @jakelibdem]

@lodibridge Will get this reported now - thank you!

[Cllr Jake Austin 🔶 @jakelibdem]

What a result!

Proud to be part of this party. Proud to have played my part in making this happen.

LibDem MPs are back in Greater Manchester!

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

The most Liberal Democrat MPs ever.

What an election. What a stunning result. 🧡

[Cllr Jake Austin 🔶 @jakelibdem]

@johnpotterLD Absolute serve - well done John! 💅
