Online safety is hurtling to the top of the public agenda, amid an epidemic of cybercrime, rocketing mental health problems among young people, and growing fears about the corrosive effects of deepfakes.
Lorin LaFave has experienced the tragic failure of our system first hand. Her son Breck was groomed and murdered by an online predator in 2014. Since then, she has campaigned tirelessly for criminal justice authorities and tech giants to wake up to the online dangers to individuals and society.
Lorin and our candidate Edward Lucas appeared together on ITV’s Good Morning Britain to discuss this issue. Edward used to cover cyber-security for the Economist and wrote a book, Cyberphobia, in 2015 to highlight the dangers posed by online anonymity.
Don’t miss this thought-provoking evening with a leading campaigner on a vital and topical issue.

afternoon reflecting on the campaign and results of the May elections

results for council elections in 2025 and beyond, for the imminent General Election, and for the 2028 Mayoral and Police / Fire elections.
Open to Lib Dem party members across the region
but especially for candidates, agents, canvassers, campaign organisers,
leafleters and anyone else who has been actively working on Lib Dem
campaigns in the North West over recent months.
GETTING THERE
The Friends' Meeting House is adjoining Manchester Town Hall and Central Library, very close by the St Peter's Square tram stop and near to Manchester Oxford Road train station.
As part of her commitment to listening to and working with local residents, Sally Pattle, Lib Dem District Councillor for Linlithgow, holds regular drop-in advice surgeries in the ward.
No need for an appointment - just turn up to discuss any issue you would like help with. The surgeries are in a public place: if you'd prefer to speak to Sally one-to-one then please contact her directly and we can set up a personal meeting with you.
Join us for our May Pizza & Politics event - an informal social with the Lambeth Liberal Democrats. We'll eat together and discuss political matters, local and national.
The theme of this social is "Boom or bust? The future of local government funding". It'll be a chance to chat about the challenges faced by local authorities, the ways in which councils are innovating their way out of crisis, and the trade-offs what we can expect under a new national government.
We are really excited to welcome an external guest who will lead the discussion: Dale Roberts, Liberal Democrat Cabinet member for Economic Development and Finance on Woking Council. As of this year's local elections, Woking Council is the first Surrey Council not to have a single Conservative Councillor left: the Liberal Democrats now hold a so-called "super majority". However, when the Liberal Democrats took control of Woking Council in 2022 they inherited a bankrupt local authority. Dale will talk about how the Lib Dem Group is leading the Council out of bankruptcy against a very challenging funding backdrop.
Food will be provided. A donation towards this is optional (for Lambeth members) but appreciated!
Join us for a debrief / wash-up meeting to review the results from the Southampton City Council elections 2024, and lessons learned from the campaign.
