Wed 7th Jul 2010

Welcoming the decision of the European Parliament today to set up the new European External Action Service, Andrew Duff, Liberal Democrat MEP for the East of England, called for the EU to start a real debate on the content of foreign policy. "Now we have Europe speaking with one voice, we have to decide precisely what it is we want to say", he told the Parliament's plenary sitting in Strasbourg. "What we now need is an argument. If we fail to compare, contrast and contest each other's national foreign policies there will never be a common foreign, security and defence policy."

Nick Clegg joins Liberal Democrat Councillors at Packed London Conference

Sat 19th Jun 2010

Liberal Democrat Herts County Councillors Nick Hollinghurst and Ron Tindall today attended an excellent one-day conference in Transport House, Smith Square. Held by the Local Government Association for Liberal Democrat Councillors it was notable for is optimism, confidence and cordiality. Starting out with a brisk canter through recent events Nick Clegg was at his frank, friendly best as he opened proceedings - then plunging straight in to a no-holds barred Q&A session. Delegates were surprised to learn some of the politics behind the press reports during the election campaign. Several of Labour's last-minute announcements were nothing more than cynical, uncosted commitments of unknown amounts of future tax to buy the political support of specific groups or areas.

Success in St Albans - Lib Dems win both By-Elections

Sun 6th Jun 2010

These by-elections were caused by the untimely death in March of Mike Ellis, who had held a St Albans City seat for some time, and a Herts County Council seat for just over a year.
