Just 6 days to go until polling day!
John, it all comes down to this. In less than a week, voters in Mid
Bedfordshire will choose their new MP.
This is such a close race and there’s still so much to do. We have spoken to
thousands of voters over this campaign who have said they will be backing our
fantastic candidate, in Emma Holland-Lindsay - now we need your help to ensure
they do just that and get Emma elected!
Every vote is crucial in this race so we need as many people there as
possible.
John, can you help in these crucial final days?

And we can’t stop until polling stations close late on Thursday night - we
need your help on polling day, delivering leaflets and knocking on doors to get
people out to vote. We also need help recording polling numbers outside polling
stations so we know who hasn’t voted yet.
Can you help on this pivotal day?
I'll help on Polling Day ➜

Horrifying violence in Israel and Palestine
Since we woke up on Saturday morning to those horrifying scenes from Israel
and Palestine, we have not shaken the feeling of shock, grief and condemnation.
In fact it has only grown as the tragedy has unfolded. Our party's response has
been united and unequivocal.
Read it as set out by Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs spokesperson Layla
Moran MP here:

Autumn Conference roundup
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Bournemouth or online for Autumn
Conference. It was a truly memorable event that celebrated our recent successes
and looked forward to our successes to come - in Mid Bedfordshire and the
General Election!
Here are just a few highlights!
Ed Davey arrived in style alongside present and future Lib Dem MPs to kick off
Conference.
Covered live by several broadcasters, this was the start of four days of
fantastic coverage from the media!

Our rally on Saturday evening had incredible speakers, celebrity appearances,
and of course, the return of our famous props!

The Lib Dems do policy differently from the other parties - we allow our
members to vote on our plans. We passed motions on topics from health to the
environment, and also passed our pre-manifesto,For A Fair Deal.

special guest Kira Rudik, Ukrainian MP and Vice President of ALDE. Her
inspirational speech called for our continued support for Ukraine.

Conference concluded with a moving keynote speech from our leader, Ed Davey
MP. Ed spoke about the big challenges facing our country and the solution -
tearing down the Blue Wall!
Ed shared his personal experience of how cancer impacts patients and their
families, having lost both his parents to cancer as a child. With this, he
announced our ambitious plans to boost survival rates - find out more about
that later in the newsletter.

The Prime Minister’s on-brand Conference speech - typically out-of-touch
Following our own Conference, with its focus on the issues that matter most to
the British public, it was the Conservatives turn to address the nation - but
things could not have been more different.
Rishi Sunak’s keynote speech failed to mention soaring mortgages and rents,
food and energy bills, the NHS dentist shortage, crumbling concrete and sewage
dumping even once.
Here are 10 things Sunak ignored in his speech:

Celebrating Black History Month
October is Black History Month - a time to celebrate the enormous
contributions Black people have made and continue to make to our country.
From the artists and sportspeople, to the scientists and medics who have
saved lives.
Thank you for making our country what it is today.

Our 2-month cancer treatment guarantee
The time people have to wait for cancer treatment in this country is a
scandal. The Conservatives have neglected cancer patients, costing lives and
causing excruciating pain and grief. That’s why fighting cancer will be a
crucial mission of ours.
Announced during Ed Davey’s moving speech to Conference, we will introduce a
new legal right for cancer patients to start treatment within two months of an
urgent referral, alongside our 5-year cancer plan.

It was World Mental Health day this week and we Liberal Democrats know that
mental health is just as vital as physical.
People are struggling. And when they turn for help, it is often not there. No
one should be stuck in the awful position of waiting months on end for mental
health services.
Under our plan to improve mental health care - we would end Mental Health
injustice.
