WATCH: Conference fringe on Falkland Islands

By | Sun 22nd September 2024 - 2:30 pm

A couple of weeks ago, new MP for Surrey Heath Al Pinkerton wrote for us about a Conference fringe meeting he was chairing about the Falklands.

In that article, he said:

In so many ways we Liberal Democrats find ourselves in common cause with Falkland Islanders. Socially liberal, protective of the natural environment, committed to the UK and yet proudly and avowedly international in outlook. As Liberal Democrats we champion and defend the right to self-determination at home and around the world. What greater example of that than a community of 3,500 people in the South Atlantic who, like so many of us, recognised the power of freely associating with political and economic unions (British and European) to deliver security and prosperity in a rapidly changing world.

The recording of that fringe meeting is now available. Enjoy.
