David Howarth is Professor of Law and Public Policy at Cambridge, Fellow of Clare College, former Liberal Democrat MP and Shadow Justice Secretary, former UK Electoral Commissioner, and erstwhile long time member of the Liberal Democrat Federal Policy Committee.

His new book, Being Liberal is about the instincts of British Liberals – about what those instincts are, and why they still matter. It argues that a Liberal disposition in politics consists of seven traits: openness, hating the abuse of power, being non-judgmental, treating people as individuals not as members of categories or classifications, disliking bombast and hierarchy, trying to be cool and rational, and looking for compromise and moderation. It builds its case not from theories of liberalism but from the lives, writing and experiences of real Liberal people, including Liberal and Liberal Democrat party leaders and prominent supporters, many of whom the author has known and worked with, including all the party leaders of the past 50 years. It acknowledges that Liberals have characteristic weaknesses as well as strengths but argues that anti-liberalism, now fashionable and even intellectually dominant, not only misunderstands Liberals but also poses dangers that only Liberals and Liberalism can counteract.

Update, 21 October: a couple of people have tried to book and received a "Server 500" error. If this happens to you, please come anyway: we're using the bookings system to have an idea of numbers and will put out some extra seats.

Anyone who has enjoyed some of Judy's Caribbean cooking at other Lambeth Lib Dem events (or anywhere else) will love this occasion. There will be a number of drinks available including Judy's selection of rums.
We welcome anyone who is interested in what the Liberal Democrats are all about, and loves Caribbean culture.

The value of this occasion will be its entertainment combined with Judy’s commitment to provide an excellent meal. £100 per person compares well with what might be charged by a restaurant.

The evening is open to Kensington and Chelsea Lib Dem members only, as space at the venue is limited.
