Reflections on a Liberal London; In conversation with Lord Palmer of Childs Hill

Lord Mark Pack writes…
“Monroe describes his early style of political campaigning as “community politics before we knew what it was called”. His time as a councillor included several years as Cabinet Member for Regeneration encouraging the regeneration of Barnet’s high streets.

Lord Palmer is currently the Liberal Democrat Lords Spokesperson (Work and Pensions) in the Lords.

Dr Sarah Hoyle joined the Lib Dems in 2009. She has been an active campaigner, standing in numerous elections and was the parliamentary candidate for Finchley and Golders Green in 2024. She is passionate about creating worthwhile community spaces.
