🛑 No Blank Cheque for Trump: US🤝UK Trade Deals Must Protect Our Values ✅

 After US Senator JD Vance claimed there’s a “good chance” of a UK-US trade deal under a Trump presidency, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey was clear: Parliament must not be left out of the conversation.

“It would be deeply undemocratic,” he said, “if MPs were sidelined while a Trump-backed deal risks slashing food standards, selling off parts of the NHS, or watering down vital protections for children online.”

We all want a strong trade relationship with the US — one that genuinely benefits both sides. But Trump has a track record of breaking deals and bending rules. He and his ally JD Vance shouldn’t be allowed to pressure the UK into accepting a raw deal.

The UK Government must stand firm. That means protecting British farmers, defending our NHS, and upholding the online safety laws we’ve fought hard for — not trading them away to keep Trump sweet.

📣 Welcome to the Brent Young Liberals Blog

by Archie Rankin, Vice Chair This blog exists for one reason: to give young liberals a voice. Brent Young Liberals is about more than just leaflets and elections (though we’re fans of both). We want to create a space where people under 30 can speak up, challenge ideas, share experiences, and shape the future of liberalism — locally and nationally. From housing to climate, civil liberties to community organising, young people have a lot to say — and even more to contribute. This blog is where those thoughts come to life. We’ll be publishing regular pieces from young people across Brent and beyond: 🔸 reflections from the campaign trail 🔸 views on national and local policy 🔸 interviews, ideas, and provocations 🔸 and maybe even the occasional meme (no promises) Whether you’re a student, a first-time voter, or someone who's been knocking doors since you were 12, this space is for you. And if you're not a member yet — no worries. If you’ve got something to say, and you s...

On the Ground and In Committee: Your London Young Liberals Executive Update 🌍🗳️🧠

 by Archie Rankin, Vice Chair and Member of the London Young Liberals Executive I attended the London Young Liberals Executive Committee meeting yesterday, here's what was discussed... 🗳 Winning in Sutton — and What’s Next Report from Sam, Chair of London YLs We recently held two fantastic action days in Sutton Central , where local members joined forces with activists from across London. A special shoutout to Elin from Lambeth for her support on day one, and to all the Sutton members who turned out on day two. The result? A resounding by-election victory —and a historic one, as we elected the first Hongkonger to Sutton Council . But the campaign trail doesn’t stop there. We’re now preparing for a second by-election in Carshalton South & Clockhouse , a much tighter contest in a split ward currently held by two Conservative councillors. Sam will be coordinating with Joel to organise action days—so watch this space if you’d like to get involved! On polling day, Joel also ste...
