John, it’s been another fantastic week for the Liberal Democrats on the campaign trail!

With less than four weeks to go until polling day, here are our best moments from this week.

Our Plan For Equalities, Civil Liberties and Human Rights

at our event to announce our equalities and human rights policies

The Liberal Democrats have always opposed discrimination and fought for human rights and civil liberties.

So this week we announced our manifesto commitments on rights and equalities. This will be our foundation for building a society where dignity, privacy, and equality are fundamental.

That’s not all - this week we’ve announced policies on the climate crisis, flood defences, childcare, lifelong learning, youth services, immigration and more!

And there are plenty more fantastic policies which we will announce at our manifesto launch next week.

A Poppin’ Rally 🍿

Popcorn from  our campaign rally last weekend - geddit

We went to the wonderful Battersea Arts Centre for the biggest event of the campaign so far.

It was a great event for all the family! There was popcorn, glow sticks, instagram frames, and a giant blow-up ball to keep children - as well as big kids! - entertained.

The event was opened in style by our candidate in Bethnal Green and Bow, Josh Babarinde. We then heard inspiring speeches from Layla Moran, and of course our leader Jo Swinson.

And for the first time, we showed supporters our fantastic 2019 Party Election Broadcast!

This broadcast will be watched by millions of voters over the course of the campaign.

#DebateHer:

The BBC and ITV are planning to hold debates that only include Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson.

We know the country deserves to hear from more than just two Leavers.

No one on that debate stage is standing up for over 16 million Remainers. That’s why we’re calling for Jo to be included, and why we're taking ITV to court over their attempt to exclude her.

Debate her

If you agree with us that Corbyn and Johnson should stop running away, and #DebateHer, please sign the petition below!

She’s Pulling no Punches

Jo at the boxing ring

Our heavy-hitting leader visited the Total Boxer gym in North London on Wednesday.

Total Boxer offers training to young people to combat gang culture.

Jo’s visit was widely covered by the press, who reported on her throwing her hat into the ring as a potential Prime Minister.

And she showed her ability to roll with the punches when she donned her bright yellow Lib Dem boxing gloves!

Are you in our corner?

We’re looking to leave Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson down for the count in this election.

Will you let us know that you’re in our corner?

We’re really hitting our stride in this campaign. Thanks for being in the fight with us. Seconds out - week three!
