Weekly Catchup 25th Feb – 2nd Mar

Catchup brings you best of Lib Dem Voice in a helpful package first thing on a Monday morning.  You can read it by clicking on the link at the top of the page or get a feed of it here.

It’s been a tougher week to choose than normal, with more posts than either of the previous two weeks.  MP Andrew Stunnell talked about his campaign to provide more housing ahead of his conference motion. Mike Smithson no longer believe the Lib Dems are worth a punt – but only because he loves us so much. Elizabeth Truss and Laura Kounine dropped by to tell us about the Academy programme. And just this weekend Tim Leunig continued the education theme with views on the pupil premium and Martin Veart told us why he joined the party.

The Lib Dem walk-out in Parliament this Tuesday also caused a stir, and dozens of you, our readers, commented in the resultant threads – the newsflash, the post-hoc justification from Ed Davey MP and the poll on whether what they did was right (our survey says… yes).

Comments also flowed on our weekly debate about Question Time, and the thorny question about whether we should all go to the pub on Friday (I think we should, and I will be posting a little more about it later)

By the time catchup comes back to you next Monday, Spring conference will have been and gone. Lib Dem Voice has exciting plans to be your guide through the weekend, so do check back and join us for the debate.
