@IanWoodley6 @SDPhq We have many differences. In particular the reforms that the were so important to the #SDP which merged with the @LibDems

Despite our differences, I believe #libdems can work with realistic #labour.

But if protectionism is most of what you care about, you might disagree.

[Wendy Chamberlain @wendychambLD]

40 years since the Gang of Four and the Limehouse Declaration.
Important to acknowledge the invaluable part that the #SDP and social democracy played and continues to play in the story of the @LibDems

[George Kendall 🔶 @georgetsk]

@7Sec4 @socdemgroup @LibDems @SDPhq Christopher,

Internationalism was a key belief for the #SDP
especially for our first leader Roy Jenkins, Shirley Williams and Bill Rogers.

Anyone sharing this founding principle would find a home in the @libdems

The Limehouse Declaration included the following

[David McKenzie 🔸 @DavidXMcKenzie]

Someone thoughtfully shared these Roy Jenkins election leaflets for Glasgow Hillhead with me today after my article on 40th Anniversary of Limehouse. Much of the Kelvin constituency overlaps with what was Glasgow Hillhead, like Roy I’ll put our country’s education first.

40 years ago today the #SDP was launched

It was founded to promote #socialdemocracy, reform and internationalism, in particularly in #Europe

In 1987, its membership voted to merge with the #Liberal party

Today’s 40th anniversary of Limehouse Declaration which led to formation of SDP. Social Democrat Group have published a set of essays by leading #libdems “The future of Social Democracy” Here Wendy Chamberlain MP talks about the book on debated podcast @socdemgroup

[Mike Norman @SpikeNorman]

@danschm_ Also why not consider following @socdemgroup for that pro-European centre-left feeling?

[SocialDemocratGroup 🔶 @socdemgroup]

@WilliamClouston @LibDems @SDPhq We've not just remembered, we've published a book to mark the day.

And yes, Social Democrats should come home, into the party the SDP voted to merge into in 1987.

They should join the @libdems
