We’re launching the BIGGEST most AMBITIOUS campaign the Liberal Democrats have ever run outside an election.

Why?

Quite simply, we want to stop Brexit.

And why now?

Well, it’s a year since Theresa May’s calamitous government triggered ‘Article 50’, formally starting the process for the UK to leave the EU.

A UK torn apart from its closest friends and neighbours is not a future we want and not a future we are going to stand by and let happen.

We’ve still got time to Exit from Brexit and we’re ramping up our campaign. Big time.

I couldn’t have been prouder of Lynne Featherstone and the Liberal Democrats in government when we changed the law in England, bringing in equal marriage.

It is, without doubt, one of the best things our party did in government.

Although it is a step in the right direction for Theresa May to take a long-term approach to funding the NHS, it is not clear whether the government will commit to new revenue streams to fund the health service.

‘Period poverty’ – it’s a phrase that only a couple of years ago barely even existed.

Yet, that all changed last March when the media reported of girls in Leeds who had routinely been missing school because they couldn’t afford menstrual products.

People’s reaction was, understandably, a mix of shock and disbelief. How on earth have we reached a point, in this day and age, where young people are having to miss out on education because they can’t afford essential sanitary products?

A survey by Plan International UK found that 1 in 10 girls had been unable to afford sanitary products.

The Oxford West and Abingdon MP will sponsor Labour MP Conor McGinn’s Marriage (Same Sex Couples) (Northern Ireland) Bill in the House of Commons on Wednesday (28th March), along with Conservative MP Nick Herbert and the Green Party’s Caroline Lucas.
