So first we hear about the Tories intending to scrap the Human Rights Act, and now we find that Teresa May is trying to censor TV programs. Didn’t take long for them to revert to their old ways and surely this shows just how hard the Lib Dems had to work to stop the rightwingers in the Tory party.

And locally, we have a Labour-run council with over £150m in reserves, setting a budget based on 1.5% inflation when inflation is zero, over estimating borrowing costs by £5m a year, and cooking up ways to stop work being tendered at a competitive price.

Proof if ever we needed it of the statement “Clowns to the left of us jokers to the right”.

Hardly surprising that over 13,000 people have already joined the Lib Dems since the General Election.

Being run locally by Labour and nationally by the Tories is more and more going to illustrate why we need a strong liberal voice in our country and our county.
