Taking on Trump & Farage – and fixing church roofs
Leader's Speech to Spring Conference 2025
Leader's Speech to Spring Conference 2025
Only the Liberal Democrats will stand up to Trump, invest in the UK’s security, support Ukraine, hold back Russia, deepen our ties with European and commonwealth partners, and stand up for liberal, British values.
As liberals, we believe that true equality is achieved when individuals are not only free from prejudice and discrimination, but also free to fulfil their potential. So fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is not a choice Liberals make.
The Liberal Democrats' bold plan to restore UK leadership in science and innovation will drive investment, boost global collaboration, and ensure technology benefits everyone, not just the privileged few.
Reflecting on the year’s International Women’s Day theme of “accelerate action”, I am sadly reminded of how much more we still need to achieve.
Hopefully Britain will listen to these targets, and see them not just as international ‘red tape’ but as an impetus to begin a dramatic expansion of our domestic energy capacity - for all our sakes.
