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.

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.

The former Deputy PM endorsed us in the Sunday Times. He immediately had the whip suspended, which as Twitter pointed out was a bit suspect:

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.

Tim Farron, Layla Moran and Vince Cable spoke at our last rally of the EU elections in London this evening. And they were joined by a special guest - Andrew MacKinlay, former Labour MP for Thurrock.

What you do in the last few hours matters massively.

Theresa May got up and gave another Brexit speech earlier and confirmed what we already knew. She's going to put the Withdrawal Agreement Bill to Parliament - with some minor changes.
Amongst those, she offered a vote on a People's Vote - but only if the bill passes its second reading.
Liberal Democrats are clear. We want to stop Brexit. We won't vote for any deal that doesn't promise to give the people the final say.

On Friday 17th May, I visited Gibraltar with our lead South West England candidate, Caroline Voaden.
Gibraltar's part of the South West of England constituency in the European elections. We've always had strong support there, receiving over 67% of the vote there last time around in 2014.
We're set for a strong result - sending both Caroline Voaden and Anthony Hook, our first and second South West candidates, to the European Parliament

Corbyn's catastrophic Brexit strategy is plodding on. Rather than acting in the interest of the country, he's working to stitch up a Brexit behind closed doors with the Tories.
He's ducking his commitment to a People's Vote. When asked today, he wouldn't even rule out abstaining on Theresa May's Brexit deal when it goes through the Commons in June. That's voting with the Tories without having to say he did.
