@CruttersJnr Yeah, I thought going for the carpenter might sound slightly more threatening than going for the guy who did something in a paper mill - same raw material just slightly different level 😂

@CruttersJnr I normally enjoy doing things like this, but given my last foreign trip was to visit the most well-known location of war crimes in the world, I'm just going to pretend it was the trip I took 2 weeks before that and that I'm actually the Carpenter of Barcelona

The European Court of Human Rights (which the UK is still a member of) has ruled that you do not need surgery to legally change gender, in finding that the respondent country's refusal to recognise the applicants' gender reassignment was a breach of ECHR Article 8 twitter.com/ECHR_CEDH/stat…

As backlogs in the justice system soar (due in part to Covid and in part to chronic underfunding from government), it's wonderful to see a purpose-built court building reopen Just a shame it wasn't as a court... lawgazette.co.uk/news/exclusi…

Continuing to fight a battle which was lost in 2016 and 2019 will not win elections. Nor will openly criticising our leader. There will come a time to campaign for Rejoin, but that time is not now. In the meantime, I agree with @lfeatherstone 👇 twitter.com/lfeatherstone/…

Also, openly calling ourselves a Rejoin party plays into the narrative that we have descended into a single-issue campaign group. Rebuilding our party involves leaving our limited echo chambers and reaching out to people who share our values beyond our stance on the EU

Getting across the nuances of our party's policy in the media is not an easy task, and at times people representing our policy will falter at that, including our leader. But it's also important to remember what he said in full, which was not wrong twitter.com/MattDoy4785402…

"Conference resolves to support a longer term objective of UK membership of the EU at an appropriate future date to be determined by political circumstances, subject to public assent, market and trade conditions and acceptable negotiated terms" libdems.org.uk/f23-europe

Our current policy (nuances and all) was decided by our members in September. It calls for "the closest possible alignment between the UK and the EU", among other things, but does not call for rejoining the EU now

Am beginning to feel dismayed by the way party members are piling on against @EdwardJDavey for saying we are not a Rejoin party. Sure, our policy on Europe is nuanced, but as it stands our policy is not to rejoin now. We are, therefore, by definition not "a Rejoin party"
