Action on climate change - new 10:10 campaign launches

10:10 is a new all party campaign supported by the Liberal Democrats and launched this month to reduce the UK's domestic greenhouse gas emissions by 10% during 2010. By signing up, any individual, school, business or organisation pledges to do their best to reduce their emissions by 10 per cent during the year 2010. It's easy to feel powerless in the face of a huge problem like climate change, but by uniting large numbers of people and institutions around immediate, effective and achievable action, 10:10 enables all of us to have the potential to make a meaningful difference.

Heather Kidd Supports £6000 Pay Rise For Troops

Heather Kidd, the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Ludlow Constituency, is strongly supporting Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg's proposals to increase the pay of the lowest-paid troops by £6,000 a year. The proposals, which would mean that no service personnel in the Army, Navy or RAF would receive less basic annual pay than a new-entrant police constable or development-level firefighter, would be funded within the MoD's existing budget.
