Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg says he's ready to talk about how the Lib Dems can shift the terms of the economic debate away from measures like GDP towards well-being or happiness.
Most people now realise that the challenge in terms of housing stock and carbon emissions is not new buildings but old ones. 80-90% of our homes will still be standing in 2050. We therefore have to retro-fit them with energy efficiency and energy generation measures if we're to have any chance of hitting the government's new national 80% emissions reduction target. I think local authorities have the ability to provide a solution so long as they concentrate not on eco bling like solar panels but on the "boring" stuff like insulation and double glazing.
A year ago today I was elected as leader of our great party. It has been a challenging and exciting year. I am very proud that in that time we have made all the running on so many of the important issues facing us.
Dear Evan and David
Well done to Lib Dem Justice spokesman David Howarth for showing the extent of police misinformation during this summer's week-long Climate Camp protest against Kingsnorth coal-fired power station in Kent.
