On behalf of Tonbridge and Malling Liberal Democrats, I will be putting a motion to Council to prepare a tree planting strategy on 18 February 2020. 

Though the national results were extremely disappointing - and particularly frustrating in the number of Lib Dem target seats missed by under 1000 votes - the local results in Tonbridge and Malling provided a much needed boost. 

The General Election called for 12th December is dominated by Brexit.  The Election is only happening because Boris Johnson knew his Brexit deal would not survive full parliamentary scrutiny.  But, far more importantly, Brexit is the biggest political issue for the UK since 1945. Every area of policy, be it the economy, foreign affairs, the environment, health, education, social security or whatever, will be profoundly affected by whether or not we leave the European Union.

Richard will be speaking at the Tonbridge and Malling Hustings on 4 and 5 December 

Our latest batch of General Election flyers are back from the printers! 

Our manifesto for the 2019 Election and Plan for Britain's Future is out! 

Changing things isn’t easy, but together we can. We can stop Brexit. We can build an economy that works, both for people and for our planet.

You are almost certainly registered to vote - but do you know anyone who is not registered? If so, please pass this on to them.

Today at the European Movement Conference in Helsinki we had an inspirational talk from Alex Stubbs, former PM of Finland and now Vice-President of the European Investment Bank. He likened our abandoning the EU to abandoning the Internet, an extraordinary act of self-harm in the contemporary world!
