Congratulations to Tim Farron on being elected as the new leader of the Liberal Democrats. He has a real challenge ahead, but he is a principled and sincere politician who will advance liberalism at a time when the forces of reaction are in the ascendancy.
Pleased to read the LibDems under his leadership will be opposing the insane extension of the so called “right to buy” to include Housing Association properties. It’s a ridiculous waste of public money that could be spent on far more effective ways of helping people into home ownership.
With an unfettered Conservative government now in power, it’s becoming clear just how effective the LibDems were in the coalition government at ensuring fairness in the balance of taxation and welfare expenditure. Now the Conservatives have an overall majority, their lack of compassion is exposed for all to see.
