Chinese New Year message from Tim Farron MP
"Dear Friends
"Dear Friends
Chinese communities across London and England have been ushering in the Year of the Rooster early this year.
It was the first time that Chinese Liberal Democrats held a Chinese New Year event at the National Liberal Club and a first too for the Club to celebrate the Lunar New Year (since its founding by William Gladstone in 1882)! The event was by all accounts a resounding success.
Marguerita is.passionate about improving the lives of all residents of Tunbridge Wells because she understands how life can be a struggle against poverty, discrimination and injustices. She came to Tunbridge Wells as an 11 year old with her parents from Macao for a better education and prospects. It was her parents she says who taught her the value of education, hard work, and the importance of a loving family.
Sarah calls herself a "post-Brexit newbie" and like many others that joined the Liberal Democrats after the EU Referendum last June, felt she could no longer just sit by the sidelines. On joining the party she found a warm welcome from her local South Cambridgeshire team and was soon asked to stand for County Council as a candidate for her local division, Longstanton, Northstowe & Over.
The Liberal Democrat peer Baroness Falkner chaired a discussion on 8th February on the demise of Hong Kong's political freedoms since the transfer of its sovereignty to China. The event was organised by the Henry Jackson Society at the Palace of Westminster.
