Glenis Willmott MEP, leader of the Labour group in Europe, tabled a proposal calling for an amendment to Europe’s workplace safety directive “to prevent the victimisation, dismissal or the refusal of employment or ‘blacklisting’ of workers or their representatives.” Unfortunately, the European Liberal Democrats decided to vote along with Centre-Right parties in Europe, against the [...] Yes, it’s time to look at the news from today… Clegg defiant against the voters An odd day to read the news, Nick Clegg says people should not “write off” the Lib Dems, despite them slumping to sixth place in the Barnsley Central by-election. “”In truth it was a no contest for any non-Labour candidate,” [...] I listened to Liberal Democrat Lynne Featherstone on Friday gone, as she told the TUC’s LGBT conference that she fully supported them.

Statments like this, which lack any source or corroborative information always make me wonder, so I checked out the election results. Labour lost 17 seats in the 2006 [...] The Liberal council has set its budget for the next year, which will apparently help those of us in the King’s Cros area during “Labour’s” recession.
