News that the new SNP contingent at Westminster do not seem able to comprehend the convention that clapping a speaker is simply 'not done' might reflect an intention to make themselves so unpopular with the rest of the country that we would be only too glad to get rid of them, next time they can force a referendum on the topic.
After this year's election, the upcoming Conference in Bournemouth is one for all members to attend. I wanted to invite you to join me and other Liberal Democrats there this September.
It is with shock and sadness that Shepway Liberal Democrats have heard today of the death of David Dickinson.
From today, the paper counterpart to the photocard driving licence will not be valid and will no longer be issued by DVLA. The counterpart was introduced to display driving licence details that could not be included on the photocard. These details include some vehicle categories you are entitled to drive and any endorsement/penalty points.
It is with great sadness that Shepway Liberal Democrats heard of the death of Folkestone Town Councillor Paul Marsh over the weekend.
I was probably wrong; or at least partly so.
Many thanks to everyone that attended our New Members Welcome Event on Saturday: it was lovely to see you. What's great to see is how diverse (and numerous!) our new members are - astoundingly the Shepway Lib Dem membership has soared by a third since the General Election! If you weren't able to be there, don't worry - we've got another event coming up on 18th July: see below!
Are you a member of the Liberal Democrats? Want to come to federal conference in Bournemouth but struggling with costs..?
The Conservative Government is making a concerted attack on freedom itself.
Following the UK's hottest summer on record, escalating heatwaves and severe droughts have triggered catastrophic blazes across the country, damaging delicate ecosystems and destroying homes.
The Liberal Democrats will continue to stand in solidarity with trans and non-binary communities, defending equal rights, personal dignity and safety for all.
The Liberal Democrats are taking a stand to hold tech companies accountable, equip the police with the right powers, and build a digital world where women and girls can live safely and without fear.
Ed Davey is a husband, a father and a carer. He is the Leader of the Liberal Democrats.
It is Ed’s experience of caring that drives much of his politics, and motivates his tireless campaigning for a fair deal.
Meet our representatives and candidates.
