Dear John,

This Conference has been an incredible chance to celebrate everything we’ve achieved together over recent years. It has been extraordinary. And it’s thanks to people like you.

But as we’re increasingly hearing loud and clear - a serious threat is rising.

Nigel Farage and Reform will use every election between now and the next General Election to build credibility. Every small win gives them headlines. Every foothold makes them harder to shift. And every step forward for them is a step backwards for Britain.

Reform’s politics of division, fear, and conspiracy is not the future our children deserve.

From defeating them in by-elections, to Ed standing strong against Elon Musk and Donald Trump - who Farage is so desperate to copy - we are the only ones daring to stand up and stop them.

But to stop them, we must act now.

That means research, polling, leaflets, digital ads - not just in the weeks before polling day, but from today, building momentum for the battles ahead.

That’s why I am asking you to donate to our Stop Reform Fund:

Every pound counts. Because if we wait, Reform will already have won half the battle.

They want to drag Britain backwards. We offer hope, fairness, and a vision of a better future.

Together, we can stop them. Together, we can drive Britain forwards.

Please, if you can, chip in today: www.libdems.org.uk/appeal.

Thank you for everything you do.

Best wishes,
