Liberal Advance 🔶

We seem to be going from ‘not the conservatives’ to ‘not being labour’. Let’s be ourselves. Let’s give people something to believe in.

We seem way more bothered about Clarksons right not to pay any inheritance tax than 1 in 3 children being in poverty.

No party is talking to people who want to get on in life, make a few quid, pay fair taxes and get good public services and opportunity in return. That is our ethos. We need to be that party.

Look at the Irish budget, plenty of good things and spending money. A company friendly low tax English speaking country in the EU getting loads of investment. Just like we used to be before we stuffed it all up.

Jenrick seems batshit.

At conference our leader arrived unexpectedly on a hired vessel on the south coast of England looking for a better life. Making a positive case for immigration isn’t that hard if we try.

Idiotic. We do all we can to make having kids expensive already.

The Tories entrench the privilege of the rich. Labour do the same by proxy by beating down anyone who works hard and aspires to be rich. We can be the party of opportunity.

There is no party of aspiration at the moment. We need to be it.

We are quick enough to include all when we want free work done but attach a very large barrier to entry when people want a voice. Poor show #ldconf

The Lib Dems got 72 seats at the general election, almost all of them off the Tories, while running on a rejoining the EU single market platform, and no one is talking about this fact at all - not even the Lib Dems.

Voters would love a party with a positive vision. A policy of backing Labour until the focus group doesn’t like something and then campaigning on that isn’t a positive vision, its just opportunism.

Liz Trusses budget was a logical extension of the brexit ideology. The country didn’t want that budget or approach so brexit is now utterly pointless.

*** Brexit Bonus *** Brexit has created a massive government surplus! Because of a booming economy the countries government has so much tax income it doesn’t know how to spend it! Unfortunately for the U.K. that country is Ireland. The country that speaks English and has low corporation tax and is in the EU. Kinda like we used to be…

theguardian.com/politics/artic… Well… yes. This is what happens when you try to out right wing Reform.
