    With yesterday's Queen's Speech, it's clear that the Conservatives are looking to pass increasingly authoritarian laws - and the Labour party can't be trusted to oppose them. Stand up for liberalism in the UK, and join the Young Liberals today.

    The Government's plans are about taking power away from individuals, undermining the rule of law and attempting to silence opposition. Liberal Democrats will fiercely oppose these plans. - on the Queen's Speech ⬇️

    If didn’t exist, someone would need to invent us. There will always be an appetite for liberalism in this country and nobody else does quite what we do. My column in today’s evening news.👇🏻

    Voter ID is unnecessary and damaging to democracy. Even a seemingly small barrier to voting will discourage people – and we should not be trying to make people jump through hoops when voting rates are already far lower than they were in past decades.

    At the 2019 General Election, out of 47,587,254 people voting, there was only 1 conviction of voter fraud (+0 cautions). That represents 0.0000021014% of votes.

    The Government wants to force everyone to carry a voter ID - here's what I wrote about the scheme last month. The plans in the Queen's Speech are illiberal and harmful to our democracy. Govt should not put barriers between us and our democratic rights.
