The UK has a proud history of promoting the rule of law, but the announcement by the Tory Government that the Internal Market Bill will break international law risks destroying our reputation on the world stage.

Commenting on the result of the Liberal Democrat leadership election, the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Newbury said he looked forward to "future victories" under Ed Davey's leadership.

Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Spokesperson for Newbury Lee Dillon has launched a petition calling on the Government to reinstate free TV licenses for over 75s.

"So this week, MPs in Parliament, finally voted for us to be able to have a say in the future of our country. On the 12^th of December this year, only six weeks away, you will have a chance to elect your next MP here in the Newbury Constituency."

Whilst national politics dominate the news it is refreshing to participate in a recent Council committee meeting in my local town of Thatcham. Following the local elections in May 2019 this Council switched from being Conservative led to Liberal Democrats.

Our NHS is incredibly important, and at time when our health service is under massive threat from Brexit it is important that political parties act with great care.

The cross-party amendment proposed by Oliver Letwin enabled Parliament to express it's view on PM Johnson’s Deal but ensures that a proper process would be followed in Parliament that includes scrutinising the legal text of the PM’s deal. It does not in itself give approval to the deal and acts only as an indicative vote.

Lee believes Johnson’s deal confirms now more than ever, the people must have the final say.

A statement from Lee on actions in Parliament after Richard Benyon, and 20 other Conservative MPs has the whip removed by the Prime Minister on 03/09/19 ... yesterday Parliament ensured that it made its voice heard. It told the government that it would not leave the EU without a deal. 

It was great to spend some of Saturday afternoon out in Wash Common listening to local residents.
