Your June Briefing from the Liberal Democrats.
<[link removed]>
Let’s use these by-elections to tell Sunak his time’s up!
Since Friday, Liberal Democrats from across the country have been flooding to
Mid Bedfordshire to get our by-election campaign underway. Lifelong
Conservative voters have told us they can't vote for them again, instead
choosing to support the Liberal Democrats.
And in this two-horse race - Labour supporters are backing us too. Daisy
Cooper MP spoke with a resident on Thursday who despite traditionally
supporting Labour, has been out delivering for us because they knowwe are the
only people who can beat the Conservatives.
Our campaigns have kicked off in Uxbridge & South Ruislip and Selby & Ainsty
too. There are thousands of Conservative voters in these places who will never
vote Labour and are tired of the chaos caused by their previous Conservative
representatives.
We are confident we can take their votes.
This weekend is vital - with lots of campaigning planned in Mid Bedfordshire,
we need as many Members and Supporters as possible to come and help. Please
sign up to volunteer or donate to our by-election fund today!

Windrush Day - 75th Anniversary
Next Thursday (22nd June) is Windrush Day - this year marking the 75th
anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush.
As Liberal Democrats, we are proud of the outstanding economic, social, and
cultural contribution the Windrush Generation has made to the United Kingdom.
This week, Lib Dem Peer Floella Benjamin hosted a lunch for Black business
owners across London to mark the anniversary. In January, Baroness Benjamin
condemned reports that Suella Braverman was considering scrapping the
recommendations which came out of the Lessons Learned Review in the wake of the
Windrush Scandal.
You can watch her speech in the House of Lords here.

Happy Pride Month
This month is Pride Month, where we celebrate the LGBT+ community and reflect
on the challenges the community has faced in the past, and sadly continues to
face to this day.
We Liberal Democrats will always uphold the values of individual and social
justice, reject all prejudice and discrimination, and oppose all forms of
entrenched privilege and inequality.
LGBT+ Lib Dems will be taking part in London Pride on 1st July - if you want
to join them - register here

Young Liberals have been posting ‘30 Days of Pride’ on their Instagram
<[link removed]> and Twitter
<[link removed]> accounts which is worth checking out to
learn more about Pride.
Remembering Elspeth Campbell
It is with the deepest regret that former party leader Menzies Campbell has
announced the death of his wife Elspeth.
Tributes have been paid across the party, with Alistair Carmichael MP
describing Elspeth as “a loyal friend and great person to have on your side in
good times and bad" and Leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, Alex
Cole-Hamilton, reflecting on how she brought “levity and laughter to every room
she entered."
All our thoughts are with Menzies and their family.
