Monday debates open thread: Flooding and equal marriage (unconnected, of course)

By The Voice | Mon 6th October 2014 - 8:30 am

Follow @libdemvoice

There is a definite theme to this morning’s agenda – climate change, flooding and housing – while the afternoon highlights core Lib Dem values with a presentation on equal marriage followed by a debate on equalities. In between we hear from some of the heavyweights in the party (in the non-literal sense) and we throw questions at Nick Clegg.

Please adds your comments on anything that is happening today in the main hall.
