The Haringey Liberal Democrats are delighted to invite you to our 2026 Annual Dinner on Monday, 16th November 2026 at the National Liberal Club, 1 Whitehall Place, SW1A 2HE (fully accessible venue).

Featuring Guest Speakers:

Sir Ed Davey, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, and MP for Kingston and Surbiton. 

Baroness Lynne Featherstone, Lib Dem Peer, our former MP, and our honorary president.

-----

Our annual dinner isn’t just a great chance to meet fellow Lib Dems and hear from inspiring guests — it’s a vital fundraiser for Haringey.

Following the May local elections, overall control of Haringey Council hangs by just one seat, meaning even a single by-election could change the balance of power. 

It is therefore imperative that we build up our financial reserves in order to be able to run a full, successful campaign should a council by-election take place (which could happen at any time). 

Because of this, it is also necessary that we remain visible in all of our target wards through a steady stream of high-quality literature. All money raised from this event will go directly towards achieving these aims. 

-----

There will be pre-dinner drinks at 7PM, and a choice of two menu options (see below).

If you wish to forgo the 5% booking and card processing fees levied onto us, then please book a "BACs" ticket and send us the required amount using the details provided in your confirmation email.

Concessionary tickets are available to Full-time Students, Young Liberals, and those in receipt of state benefits. To discuss a concessionary ticket, or if you have any questions or requirements, please email: organiser@haringeylibdems.org. 

The menu options are as follows:

Standard menu:

• Starter -  Seared Yellow Fin Tuna Loin
  Torched orange segments, chargrilled spring onion, pickled chili, crushed pistachios, ginger & ponzu reduction (DF)
• Main -  Braised Lamb Shoulder Pithivier
  Spinach mousse, saffron mashed potato & red wine jus
• Dessert -  Amaretto Parfait
  Caramel poached pears, pear gel, maple jelly & almond brittle (GIF)

Vegan menu:

• Starter  -  Beetroot & Tarragon Terrine
  Pickled carrot gel, compressed celery & walnut croquante with an amaranth salad (GIF) (VE)

Dr Sharon Docherty draws on her own experience of living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and applying for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) to explain how the process works, where it fails, and what residents are likely to raise on the doorstep. A practical session for candidates, councillors and campaigners who want to respond with accuracy, confidence and empathy.

This evening we’ll be joined by Dr Sharon Docherty, a Liberal Democrat member and founder of Blue Turtle HR, who lives with MS and has first-hand experience of applying for PIP.

On 3 November 2026, Sharon will join the MS Society delegation in handing in its petition to Pat McFadden MP, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, and Sir Stephen Timms MP, Minister for Social Security and Disability. The petition, signed by more than 16,000 people, calls for PIP to properly recognise fluctuating and invisible symptoms, scrap the 20 metre mobility rule, and end unnecessary reassessments for long-term conditions.

Sharon will walk through the claims process as applicants actually experience it: the forms, the evidence, the assessment and the wait for a decision. She will also outline the barriers that make it harder for people with fluctuating, less visible conditions to show how their condition affects daily life.

PIP is back in the headlines. The government’s Timms Review will publish its final report in November, and opposition parties are targeting the benefit. Reform UK has proposed a means-tested replacement for PIP for people under state pension age that would end standard cars through Motability, while the Conservatives want to strip Motability of its VAT exemptions and have claimed people can qualify with acne. Sharon will set out the facts behind the headlines, including the reality of PIP and Motability, so we can challenge the myths on the doorstep with confidence.

You will leave with:

• a clear understanding of how PIP claims work in practice
• an awareness of the common barriers applicants face
• guidance on answering doorstep questions accurately
• the facts to challenge myths circulated by opposition parties
• signposting to reliable sources of advice

To learn more about Dr Sharon Docherty, please visit her website: Blue Turtle HR.

Event Details

The 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Liberal Democrats for Electoral Reform (LDER) will be held on November 25 via Zoom, starting at 7:30pm.

In his speech to Labour Party Conference, Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced that he would establish a National Commission for Electoral Reform - to inform a Labour manifesto commitment for the next General Election. 

The Liberal Democrats have been calling for a National Commission for Electoral Reform, alongside allies from across the political spectrum, including through the All Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections. 

Is this a breakthrough for PR or a red herring?

Join us for our AGM to find out what LDER has been doing this year; and discuss the prospect for reform under Burnham. 

Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email containing a link to join the meeting.

The relevant papers will all be available on our website by 13th November: https://www.lder.org/agm-2026

All are welcome at our meeting, but only paid-up members of LDER will be eligible to vote in our formal business.

You can join or rejoin LDER here: https://www.lder.org/join-us 

We look forward to sharing our work with you and to the next phase of the campaign.

We are delighted that, after AGM formalities, we will also hear from Olly Glover MP. Olly is our Lib Dem spokesperson for Transport; and an active member of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections. He has served as LDER President for 2025. 

There will be an opportunity for Q&A with Olly!

Our Executive Committee

In accordance with our constitution, all executive positions are up for re-election. If you wish to stand for the executive or want to find out more about the roles, please email us at info@lder.org.
