This month's Liberal Perspective at 7pm on THURSDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER at Bombay Delight on The Broadway, Wimbledon, will feature Wimbledon's MP Paul Kohler and his reflections on his first year as an MP.

Do come along a hear all about what's happening in UK politics and issues affecting Wimbledon and Merton.

The future of farming and food production has been thrown into doubt by the Government's farm tax, and put under even more stress by the sudden withdrawal of the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) scheme, and unfavourable trade deals.

But there's even more at stake too: farming is part of our rural communities, as well as a huge stakeholder in and contributor to our beautiful natural environment.

Join Alistair Carmichael MP and Steff Aquarone MP over some food for this fundraising event, and to hear how the Lib Dems are standing up for farmers.

With your help we can provide the strong voice our farming and rural communities are crying out for. The two main parties have ignored them for far too long.

Join the Bromley Team for an hour of activity as they talk to residents about local issues.

We'll meet at 5 p.m. at the junction of Rochester Avenue and Bishops Avenue (BR1 3ES)

Some UK

politicians become a poster child for its global institutions. Politicians

have attempted to discount the risk of AIIB[1]

and IOMed[2]

to the Rules-Based International Order by framing these institutions in the

language of multipolarity and multilateralism. However, these institutions are not

truly multilateral, as by design they imply and facilitate Chinese, meaning the

CCP, leadership.

And how should we build resilient networks? Labour policy makers seems keen on warming up with China. Yet, our European partners are beginning to grasp discount

the ambition, depth and scale of malign influence in the CCP's whole-of-society approach to defeat the Rules-Based International Order. Why are we living our friends behind? How will this affect strategic resilience?

We discuss these questions ahead of Policy Motion F34.
