Ed Davey MP, Chair of the Liberal Democrats' Campaigns and Candidates Committee has written to Nigel Farage challenging him to publish UKIP MEPs' expense claims and to account for their shameful record of voting for perks and secrecy in the European Parliament. Davey said:
The Tories have a firm grip on Buckinghamshire county council but face a challenge from a Lib Dem group boosted by the defection of the only two Labour councillors.
Thi is the link to the Lib Dems Buckinghamshire county council manifesto:
A Shepway Conservative says he is disgusted with the local Conservatives and has resigned his Romney Marsh seat on Shepway District Council. A by-election will be held on the 4th of June to coincide with the County and European elections.
More than 300 dangerous criminals would have walked free under the Conservatives' policy on Europe, according to research by the Liberal Democrats. Conservative MEPs voted against the European Arrest Warrant (EAW), which has slashed extradition times across the EU from an average of eighteen months to just 43 days.
A FURTHER call asking Royal Borough residents to support a council worker in a national competition has been made.
