We, the Liberal Democrats only official women's group, wholeheartedly stand by the amazing Woman that Cllr Chris Northwood is.

She is an inspiration to many within the party with her dedication to the party and her constituents.

She is a very deserving winner.

Just because I'm on my way home from #LDConf: imagine if all the neurodivergent queers who sit on the various lib dem committees got a living wage for it and could devote all the time they wanted to it?

Apart from anything else conference would SPARKLE.

Standing ovation for Shamim Mohammed after her powerful speech. Let’s hope she can become a @libdems.org.uk councillor in Haringey next May. #ldconf

Shamim shares her story of domestic abuse

Shamim Mohammed shares her experience of domestic abuse and coercive control. When she was homeless and powerless she was turned away by police and social services because she had no recourse to public funds. No woman should be left without the means to house, feed and support herself. #ldconf

Shaming Muhammed from Haringey shared her experience at #LDConf of domestic violence as a woman with 'no resource to public funds' - and how her fmr partner underestimated her strength and power 💪

She was supported by Women's Aid for two years and now has her degree

Excellent session on Defending Women's Rights Across the Globe at #LDConf

From powerful speeches by Lizzie Adundo of the Orange Democratic Movement sharing that a woman dies from intimate partner violence every 3 days in Kenya to Julie Adnams Hatch who's delightful friend barked for trans rights

Julie and Birdie on stage in women’s rights debate

Brilliant speech from Julie Adnams Hatch accompanied by assistance dog Birdie highlighting how disabled and trans women face increasing abuse and violence #ldconf

So many fantastic speeches on this motion - from Lizzy Adundo of our sister party ODM Kenya on her fight for women’s rights, from @hinabokharild.bsky.social about the abuse she’s faced on social media, from Julie Adnams-Hatch on the ways women’s pain is overlooked and our health neglected #ldconf

Lizzie from Kenyan sister party highlights threats to women in Kenya.

Lizzie from our Kenyan sister party highlights how 40% of Kenyan women endure domestic violence and highlights the programmes which given women safe escape. “Kenyan women are crying out for help despite facing brutal retaliation. We can’t abandon them now.” #ldconf

I would say absolutely- especially with the world the way it is, we need to stick together ❤️

If anyone has seen my fan which has a rainbow tardis and “found family is family” on it, I will be so very grateful if you let me know #ldconf - I think it’s either in the Marriott or the business lounge in the BIC ❤️

“I don’t care who’s in power, they have to call [electoral interference] out. It’s our democracy, not Elon Musk’s.” - Nick Clegg #ldconf

“Le Pen, or whoever the chap is called”

Great first-time chairing from @charleyhasted.bsky.social
at #LDConf - "For those of you who can hear the rattling, we are advised it is an air con issue, not an imminent Final Destination situation"

Those aren't mutually exclusive!

Got one from the stand 💜

Throwback to the #SEFSy era of British liberal democracy in this room right now #ldconf

Good riddance to bad rubbish #ldconf (F4 has been discarded by such a large majority there was no need to count)

On my way! I wonder if the far right gets annoyed about Woking. #ldconf

Thank you 😍 x

It's that time of year again! I would greatly appreciate support from the Lib Dems among you for my candidacy in the internal elections, so I can keep working hard for you in Europe #liberaldemocrats
