Liberal Democrat’s new leader, Tim Farron, has named 68-year-old Southport MP, John Pugh, as the party’s education spokesman who will be in charge of the party’s opposition to Tory Education Secretary Nicky Morgan. Overall, the Liberal Democrat’s shadow cabinet constitutes of 10 men and 12 women, including six members of the House of Lords.
Since the party only has eight MPs in the parliament due to the embarrassing defeat in May’s General Election, many of the new appointees are not parliamentarians. Several appointees are local councillors and Scottish politicians. In his remarks, Mr Farron explained that “I am delighted to be able to announce my team of party spokespeople. The team I am announcing today is the liberal voice that Britain desperately needs,” adding that “it features some of the best campaigners that the party has, balanced with the experience and economic credibility that our party has developed over the last five years in government.”
Commenting on his appointment, Farron alleged that “it was important to me to be able to call on the advice and experience of people at all levels of our party and I believe we have an excellent team to lead the Lib Dem fightback.” He stated that “together, we will take our ideas, our values and our liberal messages to every corner of Britain. We will make the case for housing, immigration, Europe, environmentalism and human rights.”
