Bourne Abbey by-election results

Congratulations to Cnllr Sue Wooley (Conservative) on winning the by-election. Our campaign team, although disappointed with the turn out, were pleased that the LibDem vote had caught up with Labour in Bourne Abbey and feel confident that in 2009 the Liberal Democrats will be the main opposition to the Conservatives. We also congratulate our candidate, Peter Morris, for getting out THREE deliveries campaigning on local issues. Great news - we picked up two new members in Bourne during the campaign.

Getting Britain's economy back on track

When a ship is sinking, we must send out the lifeboats, not argue about who steered the ship into the iceberg. At Prime Minister's Question Time yesterday (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7659180.stm), I pledged my support for the moves being taken by the Government. Vince Cable and I have been clear that we must do whatever is necessary to halt the downward spiral of the British economy.
