The December 1910 General Election

December General Elections are not unusual; there were three in the last century. But the closest parallel to today was in 1910 - the second in that year, when we were also in somewhat uncertain and divided times (less so perhaps).

Representing Our Fleets With Passion

***Press Release*** Dear Editor, Over the last three and a half years, and probably longer, the general public had been fed a lot of misinformation about the outcomes, for our country, of the Brexit process. Often these slogans have been written down the sides of red buses. One of the most important Brexit outcomes and the one most close to the heart of our own constituency is the possible implications for our fishery. Our Hastings & Rye fleets have had just cause, over the years, criticising the portion of quota that the small boats receive from the UK government - a decision that has always been the UK government's to make. If I am elected as the new MP for Hastings & Rye I will argue this case in the House with every breath in my body. But I will also tell the truth to my fisherman friends. No Deal and Bad Deal Brexit will hurt, if not kill, your industry. So join me, and the Liberal Democrats, in our fight to Stop Brexit, so we can get on with making our country fairer for those who need

TOXIC CONSERVATIVE LEGACY PUNISHES THE MOST VULNERABLE

East Sussex County Council led by the Conservatives is poised to make £55 million worth of cuts which will hit the most vulnerable residents.

East Sussex County Council led by the Conservatives is poised to make £55 million worth of cuts which will hit the most vulnerable residents. Further cuts are expected later in the year as the budget process continues. Cllr David Tutt, Leader of the Liberal Democrat opposition group explains:

“The legacy of the last 14 years of Conservative government is a public sector that has been starved of funds. Locally, the Conservatives had said that they would maintain a core offer of statutory services but these budget proposals for 2025/2026 show that they can’t even do that.

The situation for our most vulnerable residents is frankly appalling and as a group of Liberal Democrat councillors, we will do all we can to oppose these cuts. We will look at every aspect of the budget to try to find alternatives.

The last hope for local government is a rescue package from the Labour government and we are calling on them to provide at least some temporary funding to enable us to protect older people, children with special educational needs and those in need of preventative care.

This is now an opportunity for the Labour government to show that they are different to Conservatives who continually put self-interest and profit before caring for communities and public service.”
