Boris Johnson demeans the office he holds

Kendall: This Prime Minister demeans the office he holds

Following comments made by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the House of Commons this evening, Cllr David Kendall, Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate for Brentwood & Ongar, said: "The Prime Minister once again proved he is totally unfit for office. "He heard the pleas of MPs - many of whom have faced death threats - to moderate his language and yet dismissed their concerns with the same callous bluster that has become his trademark. "To suggest the best way to honour Jo Cox, an MP who was murdered for what she believed in, was to pass his Brexit deal was sickening and a disgrace. "The office of Prime Minister is one that should seek to lift our debate and show the best of Parliament. Boris Johnson demeaned that office with his words today, and should apologise immediately for them". Read more here.

People Power Brings U-Turn on Library Closures

The Liberal Democrat councillors at Essex County Council welcome the Conservative U-turn on the closure of libraries in Essex and the guarantee that all 74 libraries will remain open. The Lib Dems believe this victory is down to the local residents and interest groups across Essex campaigning to keep the libraries open. 60,000 residents expressed their anger by signing petitions and 22,000 responded to the consultation. The Lib Dems will be pushing for more information, for example the overall cost of the libraries consultation, to be made public. Cllr Anne Turrell, Deputy Leader of the Lib Dem Group and Cllr David Kendall, member of the Place Services and Economic Growth Policy and Scrutiny Committee assured residents that they will be looking at the fine detail of the Conservative library proposals, including clarity concerning the cuts and opening hours, at next week's Place Services and Economic Growth Policy and Scrutiny Committee.

Certainty for Ukrainian Children Living in the UK

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, thousands of Ukrainian children have found safety in the UK – but many still face uncertainty, disruption, and trauma. They deserve security, stability, and the chance to thrive.
