The party has revamped its online magazine Ad Lib and you can read the new version, hot off the digital press, here.
It’s jam packed full of stuff – a profile of our candidate in the most marginal seat in the country. Wendy Chamberlain is working to take the seat where sitting SNP MP Stephen Gethins and his wife make up his majority.
There’s an interview with Lucy Salek, our brilliant candidate in the Lewisham by-election and articles from Vince on housing and Tom Brake on Brexit.
If you have any feedback about it, LIb Dem Head of Membership Greg Foster would love to read it at [email protected].

Good Piece from Vince on Housing.
Building 100,000 social houses for rent and a major programme of building affordable homes to buy, part-purchase or rent to buy.
He sets out ideas on cutting the link between escalating land and house prices.
“…using public land without the current legal requirement to maximise value; the introduction of Land Value Taxation which would incentivise the best use of land; and modifications to land compensation legislation so that compulsory purchase can be used without the payment of ‘hope value’ for change of use.”
Vince goes on to say “we shall be further developing them for our manifesto.”
Time once again to point out; It is very white.
Glad to hear this. I hope it will be landing on my doormat soon.
We used to have ‘Liberal Democrat News’ which appeared on my doormat weekly and was read that morning from cover to cover. It did a grand job of making me feel part of the wider party and its issues. Then this was replaced by ‘Ad Lib’, which originally was periodical (monthly?, quarterly?) which didn’t have the same sort of currency.
Even a drop from weekly to monthly undermines the expectation and the sense of involvement, but it’s now hard to even know when to expect Ad Lib.
I mourn for LDN.
Scrapping the Liberal (Democrat) News was a disaster and a disgrace really. How we could do with it now!
I agree with Tony Greaves. I always welcomed LDN dropping through my door. I groan with exasperation when I get yet another email.
I feel totally out of the loop now.
