Don’t let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain
Leader's Speech to Autumn Conference 2025
Following on from our excellent results in the 2023 local elections for the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the Liberal Democrats have been quick to exert their influence on the council's policies.
The Liberal Democrats are now the 2nd largest group on the East Riding of Yorkshire Council and we plan to build on that in 2027. We believe passionately that politics begins at community level, and this is at the heart of our national politics - to devolve power to local people instead of unanswerable officialdom in London.
In the July 2024 General Election the British people showed their approval of Liberal Democrat policies by voting in 72 Liberal Democrat MPs to the House of Commons in London, the highest number in decades.
Only the Liberal Democrats have clear policies to make Britain more prosperous in a way that brings every citizen along. We are united, tolerant and stand firm against injustice and bigotry in Britain and abroad.
In an era of social media snake-oil politics the East Riding Liberal Democrats put your local communities and their problems first.
Leader's Speech to Autumn Conference 2025
Women’s rights around the world are under attack, with authoritarianism on the rise and deep cuts to UK aid undermining decades of progress. Defending women's rights must be a top priority and the UK must act boldly.
Two years of brutal civil war have turned Sudan into one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with over 30 million people in urgent need of aid. Our new policy calls for UK leadership to end the conflict - standing with the Sudanese people.
