72 🔶❤️😭

72 Liberal Democrat MPs fighting for you. 🔶

Last nights full council was tough, we paid tribute to our much missed colleague Mike. Sadly Swale Labour and their coalition didn’t vote for my motion to have a proper scrutiny committee like most other councils have, was all very dissapointing but onwards and upwards.

Great to see many of our councillors and members representing and supporting the LGBTQ+🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 community at Faversham Pride this weekend at the West Faversham Community Centre. #LGBTQ #prideweekend Swale Lib Dems Liberal Democrats, South East

Absolutely delighted to have added Cllr Eyre to our team at Swale a fitting tribute to our much missed colleague Mike.

Best ward team going.

"I tell you what is the best deterrent, competence." - Tim Farron on #BBCQT Instead of wasting money on failed schemes like the Rwanda Plan, let's process asylum claims quickly. Return those who aren't refugees humanely, and welcome those who are.

Our Neighbourhood plan is at referendum stage 🎉 On the 21st of November you will be able to vote on whether it passes or not ! It is the culmination of 5 years work and we are really proud of it. Vote yes!

Finally. Ceasefire. So many feelings. Still can’t quite believe it. We’d been so close before. But also why did it take so long. Thousands of innocents dead. So much devastation. Let’s hope this lasts and the bombs don’t start again.

"Forming a Customs Union with the EU is the single biggest thing we can do to turbocharge our economy in the medium and long term. "But an agreement to work towards one would unlock big economic benefits for the UK now and start tearing down those damaging Conservative trade

This is hugely annoying and would be a very welcome change.

On International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, I want to say to the LGBT+ community: I hear you, I get it, I stand with you, and the Liberal Democrats will never stop fighting to build a country and a world where you are truly free to be who you are.

Today marks the beginning of Pride Month - now more than ever, we must stand with the LGBTQ+ community. I want to make clear that our party will keep fighting - until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are. libdems.org.uk/news/article/p…

Today we celebrate 12 years since the Liberal Democrats passed the Same Sex Marriage Act, with some lovely photos of our married and engaged Plus members. Including our Chair, Charley Hasted (they/them), who’s getting married in October, and our HVP, A.Hyyrylainen-Trett (They/Them), who celebrates their 10th anniversary.

Congratulations Lionesses! You’ve made history!

If you ever think being a councillor might be dull , today I helped Defy Gravity at faversham pride, and had an all round great day, so run for council and support local drag.

Merry Christmas from team Abbey Award
