Political commentators are now realising that the Liberal Democrats have consistently been ahead of the game on economic issues. Lib Dem Shadow Chancellor Vince Cable has identified a list of ten things the Lib Dems called for first, and which have now either been implemented or taken on board by at least one of the other two main parties. Said Dr Cable:
When opposition politicians heard about Damian Green's arrest, many of us asked ourselves the same question: "When did it become a crime to hold the Government to account?"
Brentwood Liberal Democrats are delighted to give their full support to Brentwood Borough Council's motion to back Fairtrade. A steering group has been set up by ethically conscious Brentwood citizens and we look forward to working alongside them in the future to secure Brentwood's status as a Fairtrade borough.
Liberal Democrat councillors David Kendall and Karen Chilvers spoke up for Brentwood's CAB at Wednesday's Policy Committee meeting. In the current economic climate, more and more people are seeking debt advice and it is crucial that access to advice is given quickly by an independent source.
Brentwood Borough Council's decisions were left entirely in the hands of opposition councillors at the Town Hall last night…but only for a short time!
A Liberal Democrat motion to get a £25,000 donation for Phoenix FM was withdrawn last night when it became clear that Brentwood's Conservative administration would not be voting for it at last night's Policy Panel meeting.
As liberals, we believe that true equality is achieved when individuals are not only free from prejudice and discrimination, but also free to fulfil their potential. So fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is not a choice Liberals make.
The Liberal Democrats' bold plan to restore UK leadership in science and innovation will drive investment, boost global collaboration, and ensure technology benefits everyone, not just the privileged few.
Reflecting on the year’s International Women’s Day theme of “accelerate action”, I am sadly reminded of how much more we still need to achieve.
