Calling all LGBT+ liberals and allies!
We are rallying tomorrow to unfurl probably the biggest trans flag in existence outside Lib Dem conference (BIC) at 12:30pm.
Letโs turn out in force to show that Lib Dems will always stand for equal rights for everyone!
All the coverage over conference of the massive disagreement over housing targets was such an own goal. Nobody would have even noticed if they'd just left targets as our policy.
I hope we'll see an apology from Tim Farron MP. Disgraceful.
Glad sanity prevailed.

@PollardTom Even if you estimated it in the laziest possible way, just dividing JRFs cost of poverty by number in poverty and multiplying by 100,000 you end up at like ยฃ700mn already.
We already have a teacher shortage, particularly in STEM subjects.
Ensuring that teachers' pay keeps up with other sectors is vital to fix that problem.
Education should be a top priority.

Any politician who fails to oppose a reheated Section 28 for trans people should be too ashamed to attend Pride.
You aren't welcome at Pride and I expect the community will make that clear if you show up.
