Why I’m backing Jo #JoinJo
It’s Saturday 30th April 2005. A group of Lib Dems gather in a house in Bishopbriggs, near Glasgow. A young woman implores us to take 300 leaflets each, both morning and afternoon. It was so important, she said, that these … Continue reading
Lib Dem Federal Executive report – 28 October 2013
Last night’s Federal Executive meeting was a little strange. It must have been even stranger for Tim Farron who had to chair a meeting of 30 or so people when some were in the room, some were on the phone … Continue reading

Today is my birthday. I can barely bring myself to say the great age I’ve reached, but it does mark a significant milestone for me. Three decades ago today, I joined the SDP. I hope you’ll forgive the narcissistic indulgence, … Continue reading

So, the members of the 2015 Liberal Democrat Manifesto Working Group have been announced after a little bit of controversy at the Federal Policy Committee as Gareth Epps tells us. David Laws MP, Chair Sharon Bowles MEP, Vice-Chair Duncan Brack, … Continue reading
Federal Executive meeting next week – what do you party members think our priorities should be over the next two years?
Next week, the new Liberal Democrat Federal Executive is being whisked to a secret and highly unglamorous location for a special meeting. It’s a sensible step to take some time out at the start of our term to set our … Continue reading
