20th January deadline for submissions to Lib Dem review into BAME diversity
The following story from the latest Liberal Democrat Women newsletter is very relevant to a wider audience too, so here it is: At the request of the Party President and the Federal Executive, Lord Alderdice will be conducting an independent inquiry into improving process and culture within the Liberal Democrats with a focus on race and ethnicity. The review will examine the issues and/or barriers faced by BAME members and supporters and will help the party to determine what and where the issues are and how we act in this specific area.

Brexit Mandate – Theresa May should beware of an expiry date
On 23rd June 2016, as we all know, the British people (or at least those who voted) voted to leave the European Union. This was a significant and historic result, but despite the claims of some, it was hardly decisive. As we remainers are fond of saying, even Nigel Farage said a 52-48 result would not settle the matter - although he seems to have ignored this ever since 24th June.

Would you like to serve on a policy working group?
The party sets up policy working groups to investigate a policy area in some depth over the course of 12 to 18 months. The aim of each group is to produce a policy paper, supported by a motion to conference, based on consultations with members and evidence from experts. You can see updates on the progress of the current policy working groups here. And you can be part of such a working group. The outgoing Federal Policy Committee set up two new ones, and they are now calling for members.
