Opposition MPs locked up; massive database of all your personal details; ContactPoint - a database of all children in the UK; more CCTV cameras than any other country in the western world; and the DNA of hundreds of thousands of innocent people on computer. Only the Liberal Democrats can be relied upon to stand up for the British people's hard-won freedoms.
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!
Carers are not just support for their loved ones—they are the glue holding our fragile social care system together. They deserve more than token acknowledgements or empty promises.
Liberal Democrats believe that everyone has the right to enjoy clean, safe water and unpolluted rivers, lakes, and coastlines. We are committed to ending the national sewage scandal and holding water companies accountable for their environmental impact.
Liberal Democrats have passed new policy to stand up for bereaved families and kinship carers, so more young people can grow up in a loving, stable home.
