The New Year is a time to look forward and it is as important for us as a party to set ourselves new goals and ambitions as it is as individuals.
I am determined that the Liberal Democrats face the new year with a new sense of purpose, a new drive and a sense of ambition.
David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn both lead parties that are fundamentally divided. Whether it is over Europe, like the Conservatives, or their leader, like Labour, both the government and the official opposition are at war with themselves.
This obsession with their own internal problems is bad for politics and bad for Britain.
For the Conservatives, David Cameron and George Osborne are more and more obsessed with appeasing their backbenchers, resulting in policies that are punishing people that are trying to provide for themselves and their families. To make things worse, they are taking a wrecking ball to public services, particularly local government.
