"Coronavirus has not just laid bare the fundamental problems facing our NHS & care sectors, it has exposed in technicolour the health inequalities facing the UK & shown us why we need to rethink the way we see healthcare as a whole." @munirawilson #LDConfhttps://t.co/LsvHEjfnf6

"The Labour Party is very different in its roots and in its approach to politics" to the Lib Dems. @amcarmichaelMP encourages "grown-up politics" when considering how to work with Labour. #LDConf

An outstanding speech from @LaylaMoran on foreign policy calling out the atrocities of the Chinese Government and calling for the Government to recognise the state of Palestine and to be committed to international aid, human rights and the fight against climate change. #LDConf

@LaylaMoran is suggesting upping foreign aid to 1% of GNI, using that extra 0.3% to tackle the climate crisis overseas.
It's only right, as our actions here in the UK are threatening the very existence of others elsewhere. #LDConfhttps://t.co/jvUkP5OpLT

Really enjoyed presenting my thoughts on planning and the White Paper for @GreenLibDems – thank you for inviting me to speak. The great thing about #LDConf online is the chat panel at the side of sessions gives more opportunity for questioning/dialogue than at an in person event.
