Some UK
politicians become a poster child for its global institutions. Politicians
have attempted to discount the risk of AIIB[1]
and IOMed[2]
to the Rules-Based International Order by framing these institutions in the
language of multipolarity and multilateralism. However, these institutions are not
truly multilateral, as by design they imply and facilitate Chinese, meaning the
CCP, leadership.
And how should we build resilient networks? Labour policy makers seems keen on warming up with China. Yet, our European partners are beginning to grasp discount
the ambition, depth and scale of malign influence in the CCP's whole-of-society approach to defeat the Rules-Based International Order. Why are we living our friends behind? How will this affect strategic resilience?
We discuss these questions ahead of Policy Motion F34.

How local parties can engage, empower and win with Hongkongers in the UK

This fringe event is your essential guide to understanding this fast-growing community and how to build genuine, effective connections that translate into real electoral wins. Learn who the Hongkongers are, what drives their engagement, and how you can secure their support.
We will also share how CESEA supports candidates and local parties: with experienced campaigners, targeted action days, casework consultation, and vibrant social events that build trust and visibility in the community.

This event will bring together speakers with real insight and lived experience. It is time to move beyond superficial solutions. We invite you to listen, reflect, and contribute to a more inclusive and effective movement for change.

Join us for the Latest joint Liberal Democrat Disability Association (LDDA) and London Liberal Democrats event on Why PIP is important and why it needs to be protected
With Guest Speaker Danny Chambers MP
Join us for an unmissable briefing and Q&A session on the Local Plan to learn about the huge challenges we face and how we aim to tackle these.
The Labour Government has thrown B&NES under the bus by more than doubling our housing target (from 717 per year to 1,501 pa). The Lib Dems are not NIMBYs – we recognise our residents face a housing crisis. The need for affordable housing is especially acute. We want to deliver the right homes in the right places. Our guiding principles are sustainability (e.g. not creating new housing areas where everyone is car-dependent), quality, place-making and a preference for large developments which deliver a ‘quantum’ of housing – bringing community benefits (developer funded infrastructure and facilities). We face unique local constraints (including Green Belt and Bath’s World Heritage inscriptions) that make meeting the Government’s controversial housing targets all but impossible. Sign up for your place to get the inside track on this vitally important topic.
