Finger on the pulse: national party updates

We demand better than Brexit

Article: Sep 21, 2019

The Liberal Democrats are the strongest Remain party in the UK - and we demand better than Brexit.

If you think our country is heading in the wrong direction, and you want to change things, you can. Join us.
Dangerous extremists?

Article: Sep 21, 2019

The last 24 hours have been a bit, well, odd.

Most of the British political establishment seems to be whipping themselves into a frenzy over our member's decision to revoke article 50 if we win the next election.

First, an audience member at #BBCQT asked this:

Sal Speaks!

Article: Sep 21, 2019

By Sal Brinton

At Conference I marked your - our members and supporters - amazing contribution over the last six months since Spring Conference and I want to repeat my thanks to all of you in this newsletter.

We asked you to all go on the Stop Brexit march on 20 March to make it clear we are the strongest Remain party. You did that.
Building Railways fit for the 21st Century

Article: Sep 19, 2019

Britain's railways are essential to everyday life - they transport millions to and from work and around the country day in, day out.

Unfortunately, all too often our trains are late, crowded or cancelled. Ticketing is a confusing mess and the railways and their rolling stock are in desperate need of investment.
United against Crime

Article: Sep 19, 2019

It's no secret: crime rates in the UK have been rising.

Brutal knife and gun crimes have become a sad fixture of our headlines, while conviction rates for offences including violent robberies and sexual assaults have experienced an alarming decline.

Why?

Since 2015, the Conservatives have cut £1bn from police budgets while resolutely maintaining that falling policing numbers have nothing to do with rising crime.
