IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A BETTER FUTURE

Kemptown Liberal Democrat's Robert Brown who led the campaign to reopen the toilet facilities at Black Rock which were closed down by Southern Water, said “A successful Liberal Democrat campaign has finally seen the Black Rock toilets reopened. A big thank-you to all our supporters”.
After many months of campaigning, including raising a city wide petition the Council and Southern Water have refurbished the toilets and reopened them to the public. He also said “It would have been better to have opened them to the public at the start of the holiday summer season and not at the end. But this represents a win for the Liberal Democrats and follows on from their stronger profile in local and national elections".
Changes introduced by government mean huge rates increases for local businesses in the hospitality industry.
Although budget changes were designed to alleviate the distress to rates increases for small hospitality businesses they will do the opposite once the rating revaluations come into effect. Many small hospitality businesses (Pubs, Restaurants, and Hotels) face extinction from the new year as rates changes threaten to raise taxation costs by huge amounts, some by as much as 500%. These businesses are large employers and provide much needed income for local communities but Labour have unleashed unprecedented cost increases upon them that threaten their very survival. Local communities could see devastation envelope them as jobs and income disappear. Once again the Labour Government gets it wrong and far from growing our economy do the opposite, as a result of their policy failures.
Liberal Democrats lead rejection of Farage & Reform UK Parliamentary Bill to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
In a vote on Farage & Reform UK's bill introduced under the 10 minute rule, Liberal Democrats led the fight to defeat it. Nigel Farage exhibited his contempt for the rights of everyone in the UK to enjoy their basic human rights when he and Reform UK introduced their bill. If his bill had become law then you and your loved ones would have lost the right to Freedom, Fairness and Justice. It shows what he would do if he is ever given power. He and his Party would trample over you and ignore your rights to enjoy your life without hindrance from the state. The only country to have withdrawn from the ECHR is Russia which is now at war as it invades Ukraine and attempts to deprive the Ukrainian people of their rights. The bill showed where Farage and Reform UK want to take our country and the company they want to keep. The vote also showed how Labour and the Conservatives have failed the country as Labour abstained and the Tories voted for the bill. It is the Liberal Democrats who defend your rights and fight for you in Parliament.
