Key members of the Folkestone & Hythe Lib Dem team have been celebrating their part in the historic Brent East by-election last Thursday. The Lib Dems overturned a massive 13,000 majority to win the Brent East seat. There was a 30% swing from Labour and a 15% swing from the Conservatives.
Sarah Teather's victory in the Brent East by-election shows how disillusioned the electorate are with both the labour Government and the Conservative opposition - or lack of opposition. Commenting on the result Totnes Parliamentary Spokesperson, Mike Treleaven, said:
Today is polling day in Brent East in North London and it's the Liberal Democrat's Sarah Teather who is setting the pace in this formerly safe Labour seat. The Conservative candidate has already admitted that she cannot win and has been described in the national press as throwing in the towel. Labour's Robert Evans has not impressed voters, deciding not to make the journey from Surrey to defend Tony Blair in a public meeting on Iraq. Commenting on the by-election Totnes Lib Dem Parliamentary Spokesperson, Mike Treleaven said:
Mike Treleaven, the Totnes Liberal Democrat Parliamentary spokesperson will be attending the Liberal Democrat Conference in Brighton next week ( Sept. 21st - 25th.)where he will be contributing to a number of debates crucial to the well being of the Totnes Constituency. Speaking this week Mike said:
Mick Bates AM, Welsh Liberal Democrat environment spokesperson, today commented on the lack of Labour Assembly Government (LAG) waste contingency planning for the impact of forthcoming regulations.
Mick Bates AM, Welsh Liberal Democrat environment spokesperson, today responded to the European Court of Justice ruling that allows EU governments to temporarily ban genetically-modified foods if they think they pose a health risk.
