Fancy a chat with a Cabinet Minister? Sign up for Monday’s Mike Moore webinar

michael-moore-mp-secretary-of-state-for-scotlandOur Michael Moore is many people’s favourite cabinet minister. He is also one of our most successful. As a Scot, I’ve seen at first hand how he played a blinder in ensuring that both Holyrood and Westminster parliaments were willing to pass the Scotland Act 2012. Then he brokered the Edinburgh Agreement, setting out the process for the Scottish independence referendum. For this feat, he was described by John Rentoul as Westminster’s answer to James Bond. Because of his work, 16 and 17 year olds will get their first vote in the referendum next year. Since then, he’s been engaged in calm and measured advocacy of the benefits of Scotland being part of the UK.

One great benefit of being a member of the Liberal Democrats is that we occasionally get the chance to interview government ministers via one of the occasional webinars. The next one takes place, with Mike, next Monday night at 7 pm.

There’s obviously quite a lot going on at the moment, so it’s a good time to put your questions to one of our ministers. If you’re a member, you can register for the event here.
