Positive proposals to deal with Liverpool’s cash problems
On Sunday the Liverpool Echo had yet another of its articles warning about the Council’s financial problems which was both timely and accurate but although stating the problems gives no hint as to what the solutions to those problems might … Continue reading
What will politics do to the main Parties in 2020?
One thing that we can say for certain is that politics will not be as tense in 2020 as it has been for the past 2 years. For the whole of that period the Parties have been on an almost … Continue reading
2019 – a mixed year for the Lib Dems
