#LDconf
Regional #LDconf season seems to be going well.

Yorkshire, South East and East of England have happened already. Among those still to come: North East, South Central, and London.

Please do go support our little sisters if you can: they're often where people get bitten by the #LDConf bug 😀
Big thanks to @cajardinemp.bsky.social @tomgordonld.bsky.social and some guy called @eddavey.libdems.org.uk for trekking up/down/across to Hull for a very successful #YLDconf

We passed motions on the party's use of GenAI (we shouldn't use it), a whole of Yorkshire travel pass (we want one)...

Party conference season gave us an important opportunity to champion the role of optometrists across the political spectrum.

We attended the Reform, Liberal Democrats, Labour, Green Party & Conservatives party conferences, promoting messages from our Manifesto for England https://coptom.uk/3VC9ze8

An excellent thread which should be read by all, especially @victoria-collins.bsky.social - this is what @underwater-tara.bsky.social and I were trying to say in our speeches on your motion at #LDconf
I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.

Day 2 & rule #1 of conferences - beware the signs - they are lights for moths. Meanwhile a guy drinks his coffee and watches Ed and the media pack pass

Were you at #LDConf last week?

We took our giant tap to call for fairer water bill support for older people on low incomes. Where you live shouldn't dictate whether you can afford your bills.

Did our giant tap at #LDConf grab your attention? 💧 Too many people in later life are rationing water because of unaffordable bills. We're calling for a single social tariff in England & Wales to change this. Join us and sign the #TappedOut petition: https://campaigns.independentage.org/page/1872...

Anyway, @cajardinemp.bsky.social , issuing you a standing invitation to Not The Leader's Speech at #LDConf. We'll treat you like the queen you are, and you won't have to listen to whoever is leader bore on trying to impress the media.

🏛️ Another busy day at Lib Dem conference!

On Day 3, I presented my policy motion on helping people to age well, joined the JRF and LGA for a roundtable on delivering once-in-a-generation reform of adult social care, and spoke to ITV about why I care so much about this issue.

I've had a great few days in Brighton for Lib Dem Conference, and as always I've had a busy schedule.

There's been a lot of networking and late nights, but I've also been speaking on motions, fringes and roundtables.

Bring on York!
