Following an e-mail from the Campaign Against Antisemitism, asking all candidates for the general election to sign up to the International (IHRA) Definition of Antisemitism, our party leader has responded as following:
“We are totally committed against any prejudice hate crime against our Jewish community.
That does not inhibit us making criticisms of the policies of the State of Israel.
During recent debates we fear the current definitions have closed down not unreasonable critical comments against the state of Israel’s current policies.
We are committed to free speech of all sides in debate including those we disagree or even find offensive. We will not sign any pledge undermining free speech”.
Cllr Steve Radford, leader of The Liberal Party

| Liberal Party Election Statement - Invitation to Husting Events |

We understand Liberal candidates in Lincoln and East Renfrewshire have found themselves unjustly excluded from hustings. A Liberal candidate in Cornwall was allegedly not allowed onto the stage to sit with the 4 main party candidates and had to sit on the front row of the audience.
ALL candidates matter and deserve to be heard.

New estates and buildings being built should have to include solar panels where viable as part of the planning process.
Greater rigour should be placed to prevent natural flood plains being built on and better utilisation of brown field sites.
We would look to short term, zero carbon nuclear schemes to cover the green energy transition but remain committed to the long-term phasing out of the use of our current nuclear technology and support the continued research and development of nuclear fusion.
The privatisation of water companies has been a disaster with profits being sent abroad and our rivers being polluted.
We need to divert more traffic on our rail networks, but often local connections are missing many communities.
A strong devolution package with emphasis on rural communities should provide investment into local networks.
We need a major push on public education on the need for recycling.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
