In his closing speech to this year's party conference in Bournemouth, Liberal Democrat Leader Rt Hon Charles Kennedy MP said:
The Liberal Democrat Group on Bedford Borough Council has won a small victory that could make a big difference!
Liberal Democrat Proposals to set up a fund to enable Local Ward Councillors to support local improvement projects, down but NOT out!
Liberal Democrats were outraged by comments attributed to Leading Local Tory over the weekend and have demanded an apology.
Bedford Liberal Democrats are celebrating a great result in the General Election! Michael Headley and the strong team of local councillors and campaigners will continue to work all year round for Bedford and Kempston, providing a strong voice on the local councils.
Commenting on John Prescotts incident Michael Headley said: "It was a disturbing incident to see in British Politics. I don't believe that it is acceptable for people to resort to physical means whether throwing eggs or lashing out. However, incidents like this just show how many people feel unconnected with government. We are seeing apathy turning into antipathy. People expected a lot from Labour but when they failed to deliver they lost faith with the whole process."
