Lib Dems respond to “nuisance tenants” comments

19th November 2019/in Ashfield, GE19 /by webofficer

Liberal Democrats respond to Conservative candidate Lee Anderson who said “nuisance tenants” should be forced to live in tents

In response to a Conservative candidate in a marginal seat stating that “nuisance tenants” should be forced to pick vegetables and live in a tent in a field, Rebecca Wain, Liberal Democrat candidate for Ashfield said:

“I absolutely reject the proposal that we should make people homeless because they are seen by a Conservative candidate as inconvenient. Liberal Democrats believe in the need for support, better community policing, less inequality and a public health approach to tackling antisocial behaviour. Housing is a human right and if the Conservative candidate doesn’t recognise this then they are unfit to be in public office”

Liberal Democrats Spokesperson Layla Moran added:

“Everyone in this country deserves a decent standard of living. Conservative candidate Lee Anderson’s comment exposes a concerning disregard for this basic human right, and a lack of empathy towards those whom he aspires to represent.

“As a Conservative parliamentary candidate in a marginal seat, Anderson should not be stoking and entrenching division, or targeting vulnerable people.

“Unfortunately, this sort of comment is all too common from Conservative Party candidates, who are out of touch with the constituencies and the people they are attempting to represent.”

Lib Dems: Brexit deal must be put to the people

17th October 2019/in GE19, Sherwood /by Leon Duveen

Commenting on reports that a deal has been agreed between the EU and the UK government, the Leader of the Liberal Democrats Jo Swinson, said:

“The fight to stop Brexit is far from over.

“Boris Johnson’s deal would be bad for our economy, bad for our public services, and bad for our environment.

“The next few days will set the direction of our country for generations, and I am more determined than ever to stop Brexit.

“When this deal comes to Parliament we will use every possible opportunity to give the public a People’s Vote on the Brexit deal that includes the option to remain in the European Union.”
