Lib Dem Shadow Chancellor Vince Cable was back in the North East recently.
It's great to hear him speak. Who else has been so right for so long on the state of Britain's economy and has such a clear understanding of the financial mess we’re in?
He stressed the need to close tax loopholes used by the wealthy and take on the greedy bankers. He also wants to lower the tax burden for lower and average earners and make the whole system fairer.
Prospective MP Ian Swales took the opportunity to chat to Vince afterwards about the issues affecting our local area. Once again it shows that right from the top the Liberal Democrats are aware of the jobs crisis our area faces. Lib Dem Leader Nick Clegg supports the Save Our Steel campaign (see earlier post). Britain needs the strategically crucial industries like steel and chemicals here on Teesside.
