Were you at #LDConf last week?

Anyway, @cajardinemp.bsky.social , issuing you a standing invitation to Not The Leader's Speech at #LDConf. We'll treat you like the queen you are, and you won't have to listen to whoever is leader bore on trying to impress the media.

🏛️ Another busy day at Lib Dem conference!

On Day 3, I presented my policy motion on helping people to age well, joined the JRF and LGA for a roundtable on delivering once-in-a-generation reform of adult social care, and spoke to ITV about why I care so much about this issue.

I've had a great few days in Brighton for Lib Dem Conference, and as always I've had a busy schedule.

There's been a lot of networking and late nights, but I've also been speaking on motions, fringes and roundtables.

Bring on York!
