John’s August Briefing from the Liberal Democrats. |  | Whoever wins, Britain loses. | The Conservatives have wasted the summer on an unedifying, navel-gazing leadership contest while turning a blind eye to the very real cost of living crisis evolving before them.
Neither Liz Truss nor Rishi Sunak are up to the job. They're living on another planet while the cost of food, energy and petrol are skyrocketing.
But we can't count them out just yet. The Conservatives have a huge majority, wealthy backers and media support. We can beat them at the next election - but we need everyone on board.
John - we need you. Will you join the Liberal Democrats today? | | | | | |
 | Cancel the energy price hike. | This is an emergency.
The Government must step in now to save families and pensioners £1,500 by cancelling the planned rise in energy bills this October.

 | Standing with Ukraine | Six months after Putin's unprovoked invasion, the British people's support of Ukraine is a mark of national pride.
The bravery of the Ukrainian people in the face of Putin's aggression is an inspiration to us all.
At this dark moment we must renew our commitments of international cooperation and stand with our allies against this horrendous invasion. We must keep our resolve, and we must stand up to authoritarian aggression.
Slava Ukraini 💛💙 | | | |

 | Being ready for the next few months | The bookies have the chance of a General Election this year at 7/2.
That's a 22% chance that we could be facing a General Election in just weeks.
Despite the state of the party, the Conservative campaign machine is formidible. We've all seen how they can break with the past and pretend the mismanagement of the government before was somehow someone else.
We have to take the fight to them. And that means Liberal Democrat wins in Conservative-held seats across the Blue Wall.
Please - if you can - donate to our election fighting fund, so when the day comes, we're ready.
