Fellow liberal-minded folk in the UK are bound to feel a sense of dread after the US election.
Just remember, democracy is a constant, and one set-back (even a big one) is never a permanent change.
We reflect, brush ourselves down, and continue the fight for the future. 💪

Rachel is going to make an amazing councillor - we're so excited to have her in the team. Well done on a fantastic by-election victory!
A productive Saturday - advice surgery at the Hazel Grove library, followed by a visit to our first local Worker Bee markets for a long time!
Ritchie had a fabulous time getting dog treats bought for him. 🦴
Really great to officially open the new play equipment at Clarendon Road Park this morning!
A big thank you to @Wendy4Stockport for working so hard alongside residents to get it in place. Thank you @Lisa_Smart for your support and helping us celebrate. 🛝
What a result!
Proud to be part of this party. Proud to have played my part in making this happen.
LibDem MPs are back in Greater Manchester!
“Sunak is on TV by the river, we need a boat full of Lib Dems waving behind him, STAT!”
Incredible.

It was wonderful to have a (brief) break from campaigning yesterday to attend the fantastic @StockportPride festival and wave the Liberal flag. Seeing so many people out in support was heart-warming.
Lib Dems will always be on the side of pride, equality and inclusivity for all.
…at what point did we enter this weird political timeline?!
The brave new Sunak policy, compulsory national service for all 18 year olds - what he calls “military” and “civic” - may or may not be sensible. But announcing it on day four of an election campaign, out of a clear blue sky with no prior debate, or attempt to make the case, could be seen as a little impulsive. Here is the Tory Party’s own summary: “The Conservatives are today announcing mandatory National Service for every eighteen year old – they will be able to choose between a full-time placement over 12 months in the armed forces or one weekend per month for a year volunteering in their community.”

A big thank you to the 28000 people from across Greater Manchester who voted for me and the Lib Dems in the mayoral election!
It has been a privilege to fly the liberal flag for all my brilliant colleagues across the region. I’m so proud to be part of such a fantastic team. 🧡
Big up to the gender crits for spreading my message✌️
Special mention to all the personal insults from anonymous accounts 💕
No Twitter comment will change the fact that trans women are women, or that our laws do not base gender solely on a persons chromosomes/biology/sex 🥰 – at Salford, England
As a candidate in the GM Mayoral election, I've been asked to 'clarify my stance' on gender.
I thought my stance on this was obvious, but just to be 100% clear:
Trans women are women. Trans-men are men. Non-binary identities are valid.
8pm tonight, BBC One - tune in to see what a Liberal Democrat vision for Greater Manchester looks like!

We rely on our NHS for so much. Seeing it systematically dismantled by a Tory government who have consistently underfunded our public services for so long is devastating.
BREAKING: Greater Manchester's NHS being plunged into 'special measures' over £180m black hole of debt manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…
I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve received HUNDREDS of postcards through my letterbox from @MumsForLungs since announcing my run for GM Mayor.
Well done to their team on an incredible campaign, which has informed us all, and has made EVERY candidate commit to action.
