  Liberal Party Election Manifesto Statement Open Government
Posted by: ReadingLib - 07-01-2024, 10:42 AM - Forum: NEC Press Releases - No Replies

We support the abolition of the House of Lords and its replacement with a more streamline senate elected by the regions and nations of the UK, including representation for Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories.

Both the HIV blood and the sub post masters scandals show the utter failure of government to look after ordinary people and treat them with contempt. We support a duty of candour legislation.

We need the Information Commissioner’s procedures to become more accessible.

Promoted by Stephen Graham on behalf of the Liberal Party, 12 Dayworth Mews, Lundy Lane, Reading, RG30 2RR.

  Liberal Party Election Manifesto Statement - Women’s Rights
Posted by: ReadingLib - 06-29-2024, 10:43 AM - Forum: NEC Press Releases - No Replies

We support the WASPI women in their claim for compensation for the adjustment to the state pension age which has left many financially disadvantaged.

We support the Amendment of the EA2010 to  clarify that "sex" means biological sex and excluding biological males from women’s sports, prisons, shelters, rape centres and all women single sex safe spaces.

We oppose self ID for the purpose of gender recognition and therefore we will maintain Section 35 to stop the Gender Recognition Reform Bill from entering into force in Scotland.

  Liberal Party Election Manifesto Statement - Education for All
Posted by: ReadingLib - 06-27-2024, 07:11 PM - Forum: NEC Press Releases - No Replies

Our education system needs greater devolution to communities able to dovetail training and skills to local community needs.

Training boards should be established for each industry to increase skills for industry and commerce.

The Ofsted system needs to be replaced with a fairer system.

For example, communities with a strong tourist sector should be able to grow the skills their communities need. Uniformity is the danger to social and economic growth.

  Liberal Party Election Manifesto Statement - Housing for All
Posted by: ReadingLib - 06-26-2024, 07:16 PM - Forum: NEC Press Releases - No Replies

With soaring mortgage and rental costs, plus a national housing shortage, many young people are unable to lay the foundations of their own family life.

We need a major push to increase social housing especially in rural communities to ensure we have stable and economically viable communities.

Excess charges to leaseholders should be controlled.

Section 21 no fault evictions should be stemmed and sitting tenants given protection.

Promoted by Stephen Graham on behalf of the Liberal Party, 12 Dayworth Mews, Lundy Lane, Reading, RG30 2RR.

  Liberal Party Election Manifesto Statement - Grow the Economy
Posted by: ReadingLib - 06-25-2024, 06:59 PM - Forum: NEC Press Releases - No Replies

The UK has vast inequality in wealth, health and economic opportunity.

Rather than saddle students with frightening levels of debt, we should get rid of many of the exemptions for wealth tax and use the wealth of one generation to invest in the human capital of the next.

We have unacceptable high levels of people of working age claiming unemployment and sickness benefit. We need to encourage more people into work and study. By raising the tax threshold to £20,000, we would take millions of low paid out of the tax benefits trap. This would encourage more people into work and grow the economy.

We need more people with low skills levels to earn and study. Trapping people on benefits is to trap them into poverty.

We need to simplify the tax benefits schemes so people can take control of their lives.

Promoted by Stephen Graham on behalf of the Liberal Party, 12 Dayworth Mews, Lundy Lane, Reading, RG30 2RR.

  Liberal Party Leader Responds to the Calling of the General Election
Posted by: ReadingLib - 06-03-2024, 07:56 PM - Forum: NEC Press Releases - No Replies

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo Liberal Party leader Cllr Steve Radford said of the Prime Minster decision

“He’s jumped before he was pushed and guillotined by his own party. We will be fielding candidates in areas of strength like Merseyside and Cornwall, with new members in Scotland.

“The country is broken, there’s never been a decade where things are worse than at the start of a government. Continuing with the same policies won’t change anything with Keir Starmer, it will add to the disillusionment.”

The Liberal Party will publish a full list of parliamentary candidates after the close of nominations on Friday the 7th of June.
