John’s Aug Briefing from the Liberal Democrats. | Hi John,
If you felt the newsletter you received last week was a little too familiar, it wasn't you - due to a technical glitch you received July's newsletter by mistake. Sincere apologies - please find this month's newsletter below. | |
 | We must do more to help in Afghanistan | We've all watched the heartbreaking scenes at Kabul Airport showing citizens of Afghanistan trying to escape from the terror of the Taliban. Their situation is desperate.
Women and girls will suffer particularly from the return of this barbaric regime. Those who have helped build a better country for themselves are terrified of the Taliban knocking on their doors in the dead of night.
The Government must step up and urgently offer a new home to Afghan refugees who've been forced to flee theirs. | | | In this month's briefing: - Afghanistan
