Acting Leader of the Liberal Democrats, , has today announced the new Lib
Dem team in the House of Commons.
The new team will speak up for the millions of people who voted
for the party in the recent general election and the millions
more who are dismayed with the current Conservative
government.
Speaking on the announcement, Acting Leader of the
Liberal Democrats said:
“We will run positive campaigns for our fresh ideas, to show
how social injustice and the climate emergency can be tackled and
how Britain’s poor economic performance can be turned round.
"The Liberal Democrats will continue to oppose Brexit, we
will show that staying close to our European friends is best for
Britain’s security and prosperity.
“Parliament and the political establishment are discredited and
out-of-touch, we will show that we are a party who listen
and will fight for peoples concerns.
“Liberal Democrats will continue to work cross-party to
defend British parliamentary democracy, citizens' freedoms
and the rule of law, all now under threat from Johnson’s
populist Conservatives.”
