Today at #LDConf we have called for the setting up of a tough new watchdog to protect the environment from threats posed by Brexit.

Theresa May must use her speech next week in Florence to change course and unilaterally guarantee the rights of EU nationals, to prevent a ‘Brexodus’ of thousands of nurses and teachers working in Britain’s schools and hospitals.

In a motion passed today at our Autumn conference, we have called on the government to set a global example by bringing forward Britain’s climate targets ten years from 2050 to 2040.

As part of the motion, we have also condemned, in the strongest possible terms, President Trump’s climate change denial and his decision to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement.

Boris Johnson is on manoeuvres, which means everyone else should take cover.

Closing Date: 12.00 noon, Friday 06 October 2017

The Chief Executive (who reports to the Party President while working very closely with the Leader) will have to build on the strengths of the enlarged party and House of Commons group, whilst dealing with the challenges that face any political party in the UK in the aftermath of the EU Referendum of 2016, a snap 2017 General Election and the threat of a possible further snap election in the near future.
