Weekly Catchup 10th – 16th March

By | Mon 17th March 2008 - 10:20 am

Our weekly round-up of all that’s good on Lib Dem Voice.

We kicked off our week here with a thoughtful piece from Joe Otten about faith schools – and the F word on Voice is a red rag to several of our regular bulls. The piece has had a discussion continuing with over 120 comments to date.

Slightly fewer comments ensued on equally thoughtful pieces about the budget, rebellions, and what turned out to be a restatement of existing policy when Clegg considered taking an axe to nearly a quarter of all MPs. Look out for the comment from Paul (Lord) Tyler.

Susan Kramer chimed in on the day the Queen opened Terminal 5 with her views on Heathrow. The Elephant asked if you’d like to interview Nick Clegg. Fallout from Spink spilled over to LDV.

Finally, our last podcast of the conference season introduced a request from the Federal Conference Ctte for feedback on Liverpool as a conference venue. There are a few more days to respond if you have views about going to Liverpool for an Autumn conference that you have not yet expressed.
