This weekend sees Liberal Democrat Federal Autumn Conference in Glasgow. As usual, LGBT+ Lib Dems are involved in a number of events and policy discussions:
Rather belatedly David Cameron has joined the Liberal Democrats in supporting tax cuts for the lower paid. Four years after patronisingly telling Nick Clegg that this was "a nice idea, but we couldn't possibly afford it" David Cameron has finally agreed with Nick that raising the income tax threshold is an effective and fair way to help the lower paid.

Mayor Dave Hodgson has signed the decision to authorise the appointment of the contractor to construct the crucial final phase of the Bedford Western Bypass, meaning work will start on site within weeks. Breheny Civil Engineering have been appointed to carry out the £18.6million project to complete a route which has featured in local and national plans for over fifty years. Breheny won the tender after scoring highest on both quality and price, in a process launched after a series of obstacles blocking the project were overcome after Mayor Dave Hodgson launched Compulsory Purchase Order proceedings.
Last night the Liberal Democrats won two by-elections in Windermere. South Lakes MP Tim Farron has paid tribute to the successful candidates Colin Jones and Dyan Jones and thanked local people for their support. The by-elections were held following the sad death of Councillor Jo Stephenson in July.
