Lib Dems Launch Ground-Breaking Manifesto

At a packed campaign launch with local party members on Tuesday evening North Bedfordshire Liberal Democrats enthusiastically endorsed their national manifesto.​

Daniel Norton and Henry Vann, Parliamentary Candidates for North East Bedfordshire and Bedford and Kempston respectively, spoke to a crowded meeting discussing plans to Stop Brexit and deliver a brighter future for Bedfordshire.

​Henry Vann, Parliamentary Candidate for Bedford and Kempston, said:​

"We will Stop Brexit, tackle climate change and invest in our local NHS with a penny on income tax. On the most important question of the day, Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party don't know where they stand and the Conservatives and Brexit Party are stuck with a hard Brexit no-one voted for."

​

"That is why we are welcoming so many new members and supporters from the old Labour and Conservative parties of Corbyn and Johnson.​ In Bedford and Kempston, the Conservatives lost all their seats in May and the Liberal Democrats are in with a real chance here."

​

Daniel Norton, Parliamentary Candidate for North East Bedfordshire, said:

"In North East Bedfordshire, the Liberal Democrats are best placed to beat the Conservatives. Our manifesto promises a brighter future for all in Bedfordshire and we are the best choice to stop Brexit."

​

"Boris Johnson promises to 'get Brexit done', but it's clear he cannot be trusted. In reality his deal just gets Brexit started, with another no-deal cliff edge at the end of next year if he fails to deliver a trade deal in time."

​

"If you want to tackle the climate emergency, address inequality and invest in our public services then you have to start with stopping Brexit."
