Pasta & Politics

Basingstoke Liberal Democrats Pasta & Politics evening was a great success. The food was high quality and our guest Paul Holmes' speech was greeted with great enthusiasm by members, many of whom were attending their first event since joining the party.
 
Paul Holmes spoke of who our opposition at the next election are. He stressed the need to not only take seats of the Tories but to make sure that New Labour's lies and spin are not forgotten in strong Labour areas.
