Beth Dobbin has written to Andy Burnham to ask for increased funding for ME research. We are working with her to amplify her message, and you can help (if capacity allows). Write to your MP to back her call - to make things easier, we have a template for you. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Did you know 8 of the top 10 recycling councils in England are Lib Dem led? Mid Suffolk, a Green majority council, ranks 162nd, and Brighton was among the worst in the country when they ran it. @ollygrender.bsky.social put the figures to the government in the Lords in April.

We will cut income tax by raising the personal allowance, and take 750,000 ordinary people out of paying the higher 40p rate.

After two years of amazing work, we’re only just getting started!! Please reshare and donate if you can (link in thread)

Massive thanks to ATV’s Robbie Lyle for taking the time out of the UCL final to send a message of support for ME patients instagram.com/p/DZAAFLEjM1i/… @emptystands.me

@jeffsmithmp.bsky.social I understand you used to run the Labour Campaign for Drug Policy Reform - I am running a similar AO within the Lib Dems, and wondering whether there is some cross-party work we can do on this policy area

The ME strategy wasn’t good enough - and Labour can’t even live up to it! And they wonder why the electorate has lost faith so quickly. Disgraceful that exhausted advocates looking after sick loved ones have to hold them to account. I wasnt expecting much but this takes the piss

Well done to the rest of the team at the Lib Dem Psychoactive Policy Group who worked so hard to make this a reality

It is heartening to know that we have an ally in this role who understands the decades of neglect faced by the #ME community. I sincerely hope you can meet with @tessamunt.bsky.social very soon and that we will see a step change in government actions on #ME and Long Covid. #ThereForME

Excellent news! very excited to see Tessa continue the APPG's work advocating for ME patients

Thank you Ed Davey and the @libdems.org.uk for being #ThereForME this year! Your support has meant the world to us at @thereforme.bsky.social and for people with ME across the UK ⭐️💛

A really great example of how politicians, even out of power, can make a real difference to people like myself and Didier during some of our most difficult moments

Paid opportunity to shape the future of IPV trauma treatment!

A great article from Syed, well worth reading

My second set has just come out. Thank you so much to all 30 of you who listened to the last one 🥰 you're making dreams come true (and having a great time whilst doing it) www.mixcloud.com/Direction_ra...

My understanding (I am not an expert on this subject) is that FII is extremely rare. Yet allegations of FII are rife against families of children with disabilities. This issue particularly affects those with Long Covid and ME. See this report ➡️ cerebra.org.uk/wp-content/u...

If you’re here today, say hi 👋 :)

It'll take more than a hose down to clean up the water industry. We will continue to campaign to replace Ofwat and clean up our waterways for good.

Very moving installation. I really hope one day I am well enough to get to Glastonbury www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thank you @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social for your support - it means so much to patients across the UK

Great to see so many organisations coming together to promote the ME cause! Now more than ever, it feels like we are united to achieve progress

This is a seismic day for ME and LC communities in the UK. Having the entire party's support behind our mission to ensure equitable funding for biomedical research dramatically shifts the overton window on this issue. Many, many thanks to @tessamunt.bsky.social and her team for their work on this

So proud to have played my part in this! Thank you @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social for your support

It’s #ThereForME! Our message: “Thank you for all the support this year – it means the world to us! We’re thinking of you this Christmas. We’ll keep fighting for you in 2025. Lots of love. Karen, Emma, Oonagh” #PatientSafety #pwME #pwLC #ThereForME

So proud of my party for its engagement with our campaign. Special thank you to @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social for raising awareness of LC & ME in her capacity as DHSC Spokesperson

🚨 Yes, that’s a party leader on our #ThereForMe advent calendar! 💚 Big thanks to @adrianramsay.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk for taking part - and for leading the way on #LongCovid policy

Dec 1: It's Dr William Weir, who has worked with and supported patients with ME for decades. His message: “Best wishes for Christmas to everyone with ME or Long Covid. You all deserve excellent and appropriate treatment, with a full understanding of its causes. William Weir”
