Peter Carroll yesterday travelled over 600 miles to back Gurkhas seeking to stay and contribute to Britain at the end of their military service. The Liberal Democrats are strongly backing the Gurkhas position that they should be allowed to stay, if they wish, at the end of their service, as citizens in this country.
Local Lib Dems want to know residents' views on the disused gardens in Thanet Gardens.
Shepway Council's Liberal Democrat group have condemned the decision of the Conservative ruling group to approve a cut of £30,000 from the budget to be spent by the Council this year on fighting crime and anti-social behaviour.
At last nights group meeting of the Shepway Liberal Democrats, Cllr Linda Cufley resigned as the leader of the group. Members of the group have the greatest respect for Linda, and for all the work she has done over the last 21 years for both this district and her colleagues. As Linda explained to the group last night, the reason for her resignation was to enable the group to move forward as a whole.
Statement from Brian McAndrew, Chief Executive of Shepway District Council:
The Liberal Democrats have won an astounding success in the Leicester South by-election, overturning a Labour majority of 13,243 to win by a margin of 1,654 votes. Parmjit Singh Gill is now the 55th Lib Dem Member of Parliament, following Sarah Teather's success in the Brent East by-election in September 2003, where she demolished a similar Labour majority to win the seat, after a successful Lib Dem campaign in the London constituency.
Every vote for the Liberal Democrats counts. It's a vote to elect a strong local champion, who will fight for a fair deal for you and your community.
We have to stand tough against Trump’s tariffs
Leader's Speech to Spring Conference 2025
The Liberal Democrat plan commits to making the UK a global leader in animal welfare through stronger standards, workforce investment, and ethical farming practices.
Only the Liberal Democrats will stand up to Trump, invest in the UK’s security, support Ukraine, hold back Russia, deepen our ties with European and commonwealth partners, and stand up for liberal, British values.
As liberals, we believe that true equality is achieved when individuals are not only free from prejudice and discrimination, but also free to fulfil their potential. So fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is not a choice Liberals make.
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.
