Corbyn, prove you're not May's lapdog!
CORBYN, PROVE YOU'RE NOT MAY'S LAPDOG! Brighton & Hove Liberal Democrats have written to Jeremy Corbyn urging the opposition leader to do his job and hold the government to account on the EU Withdrawal Bill. During our final EU stall of 2018, we had three brave volunteers handing out window posters on a cold wet evening whilst the rest of the group set up camp indoors to write to the Labour party leader. Beatrice Bass wrote: "Now is the time to show true leadership by trusting the people of the UK. Don't be May's lapdog. Give power to the people with a People's Vote." Parliament is expected to hold its "meaningful vote" on Tuesday 11th December. Brighton & Hove Lib Dems believe that with the Prime Minister struggling to convince the few within her own government, now is the time to stand for the many asking to have the final say.

Metro fares to rise while controlling Labour calls for freeze elsewhere
One event no-one particularly looks forward to at this time of the year is the announcement of rail fare rises. The annual announcement,which is perhaps more punctual than rail services, is never popular but reflects annual inflationary pressures in terms of rail staff pay rises and other operating costs. Every year opportunist politicians call for a fares freeze. The Labour Shadow Cabinet spokesman for transport, Andy McDonald - a North East MP - has called for the Government to intervene to freeze fares on national rail services instead of implementing the national 3.1% fare increase, citing the chaos on the railways and the failure of privatised companies to deliver a reliable service. Ironically, his call came on the same day that the Labour controlled North East Combined Authority's Tyne and Wear transport subcommittee met to rubber stamp fare increases for 2019 for the Tyne and Wear Metro. Many fares will rise by more than 3.1%, with a single zone ticket rising 5.5% and a child day ticket rising by 7.
