Re: PC14: Regional development policy
We don't need to be partisan about everything - this is a good, long overdue policy. You will not find a more passionate local campaigner than I am, nor a party more passionate about local government than the Liberal Democrats, and as a result of that, we have campaigned for proper local & regi...

Re: PC: Conservative Party's New Leader?
If the Tories want to move on from the Croft leadership, selecting his right-hand man isn't the way to do it. The 16th Baronet Mountstuart is just not the sort of leader the Tories need if they want to win a broad coalition of voters and provide some serious opposition to Labour. The Conservatives ...

Re: Oath of Allegiance
What I am about to say is done under protest. The people should govern this land democratically. With that considered...

Re: General Press Comments
Speaking to ALDC earlier was a remarkable privilege, as few organisations have contributed as much to the liberal cause as they have. And what I said there is something I want to echo to anyone in this country who is a liberal, who has liberal values, and who believes in that decent moderate centre ...

Re: General Press Comments
Rebecca Flair absolutely spot-on speaking to fellow Beveridge Group members earlier. We need to keep working hard for our communities and show "how a modern, liberal state doesn't just mean a Tory state with a slightly sunnier disposition" better than ever. We are by nature in this party o...

Re: PC: Conservative Party's New Leader?
I feel that the challenge for the Conservative Party nowadays is to find a way to claw some relevance back to ordinary people. I've focused my efforts throughout my time in politics on showing how liberalism can work in practise - by working hard locally, by proving we can win, and by getting things...

Re: PC 11: Budget
Labour's budget is unambitious, and that is most clearly displayed when you take a look at the Home Office. Compared to liberal proposals, Labour want to recruit thousands less police officers than we do, spend millions less on legal aid than we do, have a less well-funded security service than we ...
