Manifesto Launch

Join us from 11am as Ed Davey launches the Liberal Democrat General Election Manifesto 2024 - For a Fair Deal

[@squashpuddle8868]

Well Done 👍 Lib Dems U did really well in the Elections... Especially Local 🫵🙂05/07/2024

[@LakhwinderKaur-zt5bt]

U have genuine personal and professional experience understanding the NHS bloody crisis the Conservative pathetic people and Party

[@EmmaBakesCakes]

This party is truly for our people. ❤

[@alexanderprice6612]

Making weed legal is the main reason I'll vote Lib Dem. Labour's attitude to drugs policy is 50 years out of date.

[@pastyman001]

Labour are terrified of the Daily Mail

[@TheSuperPsychoKiller]

Weed helps with pain which Brits need when waiting on the NHS list.

[@rolandrothwell4840]

I agree! 😊

[@josephhilditch8792]

I’d love to see the Liberal Democrat’s become the opposition at least they have heart ❤️

[@lynneheal-xc2qg]

Living proof via George Ebers and Matt Embry uncover MS truths so many have died on MS meds that MS society's promote so many more will die because no one cares .I have fought MS for over 50 years and since 2009 lived daily with being told that I can die any day. Our grandson has autism and I was born on Christmas day same day as Ed was NHS destroyed my MRI notes in Leicester have had toothache since Christmas no help again.

[@kevinu.k.7042]

I so hope that LD become the Official opposition. Ed Davey has brought sincerity to this election.

[@rolandrothwell4840]

It would be smashing if the Liberal Democrats become the opposition. Ed Davey would definitely hold Starmer and his cronies to account 😊

[@Srindal4657]

The more illiberal the nation gets, the more important a liberal message will be. Society and our leaders must carve through the darkness so that the light can reveal the truth, and the truth is a liberal in the seat of government.

[@rolandrothwell4840]

I so agree with you! We need to argue to support and defend our freedoms. Both Conservative and Labour parties want to govern in the most draconian way. I have managed to persuade Green voters to switch to the Liberal Democrats because of the serious green programme

[@soton5teve]

Decriminalise, Regulate, and Legalise, Cannabis 🍁✅️ & Shrooms 🍄 🍄✅️

[@alexanderprice6612]

Pretty much everyone on our street is smoking weed. You can smell it on the wind most nights. Lots of them are Tory voters too - very 'do as I say, not as I do' types.

[@rjmunro]

Please trim the first 56 min off the video. You can edit in KZbin itself, so you don't loose existing views etc.

[@peerless67]

Lose*

[@oliverleonard7730]

Now this is the manifesto Labour should be publishing like 1945 and 1997 but this the Lib Dems who are doing what you'd expect from Labour.

[@LakhwinderKaur-zt5bt]

Come on NHS clinics and GPS Nursing hubs and NHS Employees and Executives change to a new Party u All know it’s vicious ⭕️

[@markjohnston3434]

As a supporter a word to the wise: A spelling mistake in your email about the Manifesto Launch is one thing, but a failure to edit the video so that it doesn't start for the best part of an hour is UNFORGIVABLE. The Communications team needs to up their game.

[@Carol_in_Spain]

I agree. It doesn't look very professional. It needs editing ASAP. It doesn't start until 57 minutes into the video.

[@TheSuperPsychoKiller]

It’s fine. Raw and Unedited = keeping it real. Work on your attention span.

[@markjohnston3434]

@@TheSuperPsychoKiller and that is the way to reach the widest audience?

[@johnkellett7797]

Please note the following and add the necessary to the Liberal Democrat Manifesto: The fact that the UK continues to allow the unqualified to design buildings ought to be altered to be similar to most other developed nations which restrict the design of buildings to the appropriately qualified. In the UK that would be the chartered professional building designers (architects, surveyors, engineer and technologists etc). The Building Safety Act only requires 'competence' which is impossible to measure objectively and is a mostly subjective characteristic and is capable of self-certification. A simple regulation requiring registered/licensed/chartered status for all building designers and contractors would be a simple act of common sense that has been rare under numerous governments for many decades. Happy to discuss, with those at LibDem HQ who could make it happen, about the danger of the UK having not implemented for decades appropriate legislation.

[@rolandrothwell4840]

Also, most new builds are very shoddily constructed without proper insulation and have clipboard walls. Its a massive scandal

[@johnkellett7797]

@@rolandrothwell4840, no. Not most new builds but some are shoddily constructed due to the UK having no requirement for tradespeople to be qualified (except plumbing and electrical works). Most are qualified but the Building Safety Act requirement for them to be ‘competent’ is not measurable except through qualifications and/or registration/licensing. Also ‘proper insulation’? What’s that? If the insulation meets the specification created by the qualified/registered/chartered designers then it will be a correct insulation. As for clipboard I assume you mean chipboard, in which case it depends on which chipboard and for what use it has been used!

[@LakhwinderKaur-zt5bt]

July 4th vote Liberal Democrat

[@LakhwinderKaur-zt5bt]

Nice speech Ed Davey

[@rolandrothwell4840]

Persuaded my sister to vote Liberal Democrat. She was going to vote Green.

[@LakhwinderKaur-zt5bt]

@@rolandrothwell4840 thank you x

[@paulembleton1733]

Can’t be worse than Tory, looks better than Labour. I want some serious discussion about the type of proportional representation we would should have and how we should decide. FPTP never results in a representative parliament, allows the majority party to ignore everyone else, and encourages corruption and ideology.

[@Jonathan.-bi3cu]

love the lib dems

[@keefedonk]

I think this could be the first election where the public will actually find polotical reform and PR interesting and relevant.

[@margaretjohnson7484]

I can't access the written manifesto - the different pages won't scroll down. It seems now I've missed the live launch I can't get a video either. No doubt I am being tech-unsavvy as usual, but people like me need information too!

[@peerless67]

"Carers - paid and unpaid, young and old - do a remarkable and important job. They deserve far more support, but are too often forgotten and ignored." What does that mean exactly ? Where are the details ?

[@chrisl3314]

Eddie Eddie Eddie!!!

[@sunnychan1987]

Start at 57:02

[@smeee8284]

thank you

[@rolandrothwell4840]

Vote 🗳 Liberal Democrats for a fairer and more free society

[@lorrainehorrocks2111]

Why are you not getting any media coverage?

[@teresahartley3864]

Please trim the blank 50+ minutes off the video. It doesn't look very professional! But great launch.

[@skathi7575]

all sounds very appealing....... till they get in power x_x

[@keefedonk]

57.02 is the start. Please trim as so many people wont stick with it and watch the actual important messages because the blank section is so long

[@DDougz]

make weed legal, is the ONLY reason i am voting lib dem.

[@TheEroticDonkey]

My favourite part was the 57 minutes of nothing 👌🏽

[@tmarritt]

59:00 your welcome

[@tlg5003]

Absolutely nothing in this manifesto to tackle the boats and illegal migration. I know it's not an issue for some voters but it is for me. Plan to allow asylum seekers to work will INCREASE the pull factor for people risking their lives crossing the channel. Naive. It's a shame because I would probably have voted for them but they have lost my vote on this issue.

[@robbietea]

What a great vison for the country!

[@LongBoi.]

Why no commitment to nuclear power?

[@keefedonk]

I guess because there's only so much you can really fit and focus on in a manifesto. Too many different points and the public get over washed by it and don't take any of them in. I'm guessing

[@Grittyclimbing]

You need to trim the first 56 minutes…

[@TheSuperPsychoKiller]

No, work on your attention span.

[@user-nc3zl6vz8f]

Very Underwhelmed 🤔

[@iainchristie714]

Ridiculous stream. Most people like myself who were keen to hear or see the launch will have turned this very amateurish effort off. I still look forward to seeing and hearing the Manifesto, but I haven't got all day to wait for it.... Goodbye!

[@alexanderprice6612]

How does this differ to any other manifesto announcement? Manifestos are hundreds of pages long, no party stands and reads the whole thing out. He gave a reasonable length speech about the core policies to get in his newspaper sound-bites, and people can read the rest. You're gonna be disappointed if you think Labour or the Tories manifesto announcement later this week will be any jazzier..!

[@ThomasBoyd-gx9wr]

Not left wing that Mixed Economy you get Austria Vienna and Norway Olso. Excellent manifesto Liberal Democrats win 50 to 60 British MP from the conservative party. Tories conservative party imploded in England. It Whig party Landslide victory over the conservative party liike 1906. Free personnel care for English people without sell family property is excellent for all English middle class people in South West and London and South East or Southern England. Clement Atlee Labour party Manifesto England 1945 socialist.

[@joemitchell2919]

I came here to watch the video and did not enjoy the 56 minutes of silence. Please edit your videos properly

[@user-nc3zl6vz8f]

Lots of Promises, No Costing 🤔 It will take a long time. We have not got a long time !! On the other hand REFORM UK has got many Costed Policies for example: Increase Personal Tax Allowance to £20,000. This is a saving for All working people and pensioners receiving over this amount, a Tax saving of £1,486 per year or £28.57 per Week.

[@lessthan9percent]

how can you all celebrate? Thrashed by reform but because of our shit system you get all them seats its not a victory by any means.

[@DaveThompsonfairlife4all]

He sounds like an actor on a stage, or talking to an audience of children. Not very convincing.

[@timmanto1022]

Two left wing parties who don't have a clear vision for voters. Whoever gives voters more clarity will win. Sad to see this from a once great nation. Good luck UK!

[@oliverleonard7730]

It's more like two right wing parties - Labour or Tory.

[@timmanto1022]

I mean every party has market-economy ideologies. Labour is still pretty left for an Anglo nation.

[@mandead]

The Lib Dems are not and have never been left-wing.
