Aylestone Ward's Liberal Democrat Councillor, Nigel Porter has been quoted this week in the UK National press as the continued lockdown in Leicester City and neighbouring Oadby and Wigston Borough takes place. Several areas of neighbouring suburbs were lifted out of the lockdown this week.
A local petition on change.org calling for City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby to resign has gained further momentum over the weekend.
Labour's Elected Mayor said this morning 'that he didn't know if there was an issue in Leicester or not' Simple answer is he's not fit for the job and he must resign. Over the last few weeks Leicester has seen a spike in cases of Covid 19 - most shocking is this is against a backdrop of falling cases across the country - despite this rise in cases in Leicester the labour council leader is still unable to recognise there is an issue. The level of complacency from the city mayor is outrageous. Maybe if the labour mayor had spent, less time breaking the lockdown laws then the City might be in a much better position in terms of handling this crisis. The Labour Mayor's not fit for the job and he must resign.
The Liberal Democrats are committed to rebuilding the trust and compassion that the UK was once known for. We believe that our country has a responsibility to support those in need, no matter where they are in the world.
For too long, years of neglect and mismanagement by the previous Conservative Government have pushed our prison system into a deep crisis.
The Liberal Democrats have long championed proportional representation, advocating for a voting system where every vote truly counts. We believe that reforming our electoral system is crucial for a fairer democracy and better governance.
