DELGA, the Liberal Democrat group for LGBT equality, has opened up a web shop to help Lib Dem campaigners. The shop stocks materials which promote the party's unparalleled record of action on equality. This includes our new postcard design for the General Election, with the slogan "We've Always Been There For You... And We Always Will", along with colourful trifold leaflets and stickers for Pride festivals.
The excellent political monthly Prospect has published an opinion piece that we hope will bring LVT to a wider audience. Written by Phillippe Legrain, who is to bring out a book "Afershock: reshaping the world economy after the crisis" in May, it gives a brief overview of the economic and social justice arguement. The article is at the Prospect webite (subcription only) but anyway the magazine is always worth buying. See http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/2010/03/tax-the-ground-they-walk-on-2.

I don't blame Amber...If my party's Shadow Chancellor had performed as poorly as George Osborne did in Monday's Channel 4 debate between the three would-be Chancellors, then I too would be tempted to write my weekly column about a trip on the East Hill Lift rather than the key economic choices that face the country.
