A leading Shropshire Liberal Democrat today appealed to party members to trust their national leaders despite the "serious doubts and questions" that remain over the coalition.
"Tonight the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Party and the Federal Executive of the Liberal Democrat party have overwhelmingly accepted my recommendation that we should now enter into a coalition government with the Conservative Party."
"Over the past four days we have been working flat out to deliver an agreement that can provide stable government that can last.
Hospitality businesses are vital for jobs, economic growth, and thriving communities – our new policy backs hospitality, helping pubs, cafés, restaurants, and hotels not just survive, but thrive - supporting local jobs and boosting the economy.
Skills shortages are holding back our economy, while investment in training has plummeted and opportunities to re-skill remain out of reach for too many people. Our reforms will give everyone the tools, support, and confidence to succeed at any age.
Liberal Democrats have passed bold new policy to put public health at the heart of gambling regulation. These reforms would save lives, raise hundreds of millions for NHS treatment, and finally hold the industry to account.
Our NHS emergency services are in crisis – with patients dying in A&E waiting rooms, hours-long ambulance delays, and unsafe ‘corridor care’ becoming routine. Our new policy will restore dignity for patients, protect NHS staff, and save lives.
Years of Conservative neglect left our policing system in crisis - our bold new policy will make policing fit for the future, putting public safety first, ensuring everyone can feel safe in their home and on their street.
Youth work changes lives by providing safe spaces, building skills, and improving life chances for young people. Our members passed a new policy to back youth work, calling on the Government to prioritise it in their upcoming National Youth Strategy.
