money its a drag
Dear Ian, This morning, the Office for Budget Responsibility – an office established by this Government – published its first assessment of the public finances. Regrettably the problems facing our country are even more serious than we had originally realised. We and many others have been warning for some time that the growth forecast in the March Budget was optimistic. The Office for Budget...
well alright!
Dear Ian, Yesterday I was proud to be at the Government Dispatch Box in the House of Commons moving a motion in support of a Queen’s Speech that committed to delivering long cherished Liberal Democrat policies. Over the coming months we will bring forward legislation for much needed political reform and the restoration of our civil liberties. We will bring in a proportionally elected second...

Nick on the other hand has played a blinder and got lots of our stuff in and here is his letter
Dear Ian, The Queen’s Speech was unlike any we have seen for years. It was not simply another list of bills from a government determined to rule from the centre. It was not simply a speech from another one-party Government able to push through measures without the support of a majority of the...

Dear Ian, Today I have given my first set-piece speech as Deputy Prime Minister – you can read the full speech here. I’m proud that this speech was on a topic which I know is close to every Liberal Democrat heart, political reform. What I have announced today is the biggest shake up of British democracy since the Great Reform Act of 1832. It is a fundamental resettlement of the relationship...

letter from the leader
Our election campaign is about making Britain a fairer place - and there are just 10 days left to do it. Our momentum is growing and the media are interested in what a strong group of Liberal Democrats in Parliament will mean for British politics. But if we are to turn this momentum into votes it is vital that we keep campaigning on the things that affect people’s lives. That’s why...

The Lib Dems are well aware of the stakes. For their moment in the spotlight, they chose a focused, costed and serious political message. The Guardian - 15th April 2010 The Liberal Democrat manifesto contains more extensive and more detailed tax and spending proposals than those of the other main UK parties. Institute for Fiscal Studies - 14th April 2010 The [Liberal Democrats] deserve credit...

Liberal Democrats’ five point plan to tackle bankers’ bonuses says Clegg Tue, 13 Apr 2010 The Liberal Democrats today set out radical new proposals to clamp down on bankers’ bonuses. The five point plan will ensure the bonus system can never again encourage banks to behave in the way that led to the banking crisis. Under the Liberal Democrats, excessive cash bonuses will come to an end, there will...

its that time of the month again
You’ve been let down by Labour for the last 13 years. You’ve had 65 years of Labour and Conservative Governments taking it in turns to make the same old mistakes over and over again. In North Durham we’ve enjoyed 104 years of paternal neglect by first Labour, then New Labour and now post-labour Labour.
The choice in this election is between more of the same with Labour and the...
