Lib Dem Manifesto for Teignbridge May 2019
Community action to keep our area connected, protected and green.
"The Liberal Democrats are ready and keen to regain control of Teignbridge Council on May 2nd. We have a strong team of able, experienced and diverse candidates.
In this manifesto, we demonstrate our forward-thinking and responsible, costed programme, which will produce a CONNECTED, PROTECTED and GREEN COUNCIL FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.
Our priorities are:
- Genuinely affordable homes to buy or to rent for local people and tougher negotiations with developers;
- working closely with Police to tackle anti-social behaviour;
- getting serious about environmental protection providing clean streets, better recycling and fighting climate change;
- a business-friendly attitude, encouraging entrepreneurs;
- open and transparent decision-making, brought closer to residents; and,
- valuing and protecting our public services.
We will work with communities and Town and Parish councils to deliver for residents.
We will bring meetings to our towns and devolve activity away from the Council offices in Newton Abbot.
We will provide open and honest local government. We will act with financial responsibility.
We will never forget it's your money the council spends.
If you share these views, vote LIB DEM on May 2nd.
We are the only realistic alternative to another four years of the Conservatives."
Gordon Hook
Leader of the Lib Dems on Teignbridge Council
March 2019.

As you know, Vince has now formally announced his resignation, and, as your President, I am triggering the process for the election of his successor as Leader of the Liberal Democrats.
I'd like to take a moment to thank Vince for all he's done since he was elected leader in 2017. He's been a steadying influence when it was most needed - and that's led to us gaining new MEPs (exact number to be announce tomorrow evening!) and almost 800 councillors. Thank you, Vince.

Last night, the British people finished voting in the European elections. The fallout is there for all to see, with the Prime Minister finally conceding this morning that she has reached the end of the road.
Our campaigning over the last three years has kept the cause of remaining in the European Union alive, and I now believe we have a strong chance of stopping Brexit. When the votes are counted on Sunday, I expect us to do well.

This morning, Theresa May conceded defeat and announced her resignation as Prime Minister.
This will undoubtedly be spun by hardline Tories as a failure on her behalf. They'll tell us that a true Brexit believer would have been able to do it.
But a new Prime Minister won't solve Brexit. Neither will a General Election. Leaving the EU without a deal will cause our country untold harm and widen the gap between the richest and poorest in society.

That's that - polls for the European elections are now closed!
We've fought so, so hard - I'm incredibly proud of each and every single one of our candidates, campaigners and voters. 💛
In the last 6 weeks, we've:
🔶 Fought a large-scale campaign that went toe-to-toe with Labour, the Conservatives and Nigel Farage's Brexit Party
🔶 Delivered over 12 million letters
🔶 Reached over 2.5 million people via social media - on polling day alone
🔶 Knocked on 225,000 doors
🔶 Nearly tripled our standing in the polls - from 7% to 20%:

We've had an amazing campaign - and now it's nearly over. You've got until 10 tonight to get out and cast your vote for the Liberal Democrats to stop Brexit!
We're the biggest, strongest Remain party - and we're on course for an amazing result. These European elections are your chance to send a message to the pro-Brexit Labour and Conservative parties - we just want it to stop.

The 23rd May is upon us and voting in the EU elections will commence very soon. The polls still show the Lib Dems ahead of Labour and the Conservatives. Only the Brexit Party are ahead of us in the polls.
In the South West, we look very likely to get a Lib Dem MEP elected. It looks very possible that we can get a second Lib Dem MEP elected provided remain voters come out and vote Lib Dem.

Tomorrow, my first ever vote is going to be a vote for the Liberal Democrats to stop Brexit.
Just in case the 'Bollocks to Brexit' campaign slogan didn't make it clear enough; every vote for the Lib Dems is a vote to Stop Brexit and remain in the European Union. They're the biggest remain party and were the first to call for a People's Vote back in 2016.

I'm proud to have been the anti-Brexit Spokesperson for a party that has been unequivocal about Brexit for three years.
Meanwhile, like many people, my colleagues and I have attempted to decipher Corbyn's riddles and work out exactly what the Labour position is on Brexit.
Labour, Conservatives, UKIP, or the Brexit Party: they all want Brexit.

Throughout our history, the Liberal Democrats have lead the way on green issues. The 1979 Liberal/SDP manifesto called for a "war on waste and pollution" and highlighted "the need to reserve the natural environment for future generations."
Forty years later, our 2019 European manifesto is no less radical. Just last week, Vince Cable announced our commitment to campaign for an EU-wide ban on fracking.
