Trident trouble for Fox

Mon 16th Aug 2010

With massive spending cuts being forced on the coalition government by Labour's financial mismanagement, particular care needs to be taken that no area is left unexamined by the need to ensure expenditure is rationalised. Yet Conservative Defence Secretary, Liam Fox, still seems fixated by the need for a replacement to the Trident missile submarine system, at a cost likely to be well in excess of the current estimate of £20 billion. It seems he was preparing a defence review which omits any discussion of the need to cut the program - given its dubious benefits and lack of relevance to current defence needs - yet Liberal Democrats have been successful in forcing the coalition to put the cost of a Trident replacement back in the defence budget where it belongs, rather than being met from general Treasury funding. If he is serious about making savings, then these should start with this outdated piece of cold war kit.

Which laws do you want to scrap?

Sun 4th Jul 2010

One of the first decisions of the new coalition government was to scrap ID cards. Now Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is asking which other laws should be scrapped? The Liberal Democrats have always stood up for civil liberties, scrapping unnecessary laws and reducing the burden on businesses and charities. In our manifesto, we proposed a Freedom Bill to roll back Labour's attacks on British Civil Liberties. In government, we are doing just that. On Thursday, Nick Clegg launched Your Freedom, a national dialogue, on how to create a more open, inclusive society. Anyone can make suggestions about which laws we need to scrap and where we can cut red tape. The best ideas will be put into practice - because this is a listening government. This is the government we have long campaigned for. So tell Nick about every time you've felt snooped on by the state, or had to fill in the same form three times. You can e-mail Nick at: http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/

A coalition for Britain, not for narrow party advantage

Wed 12th May 2010

The outcome of the general election - a coalition with the Conservatives was not particularly desired or foreseen, yet what Nick Clegg has achieved is the best possible outcome given the only real alternative were a minority Conservative administration, that could if left to its own devices, have inflicted severe damage on the structure of our society and economic recovery.
