Keeping the triple lock, introducing a £5 billion social care package and banning sewage-dumping are among key pledges.
The Liberal Democrats have become the first major political party to adopt an early version of its manifesto for a general election expected next year, with a host of policies aimed at winning over Tory heartlands.
An ultimate goal to return to membership status within the bloc is currently official policy, but the leader has been reluctant to speak publicly about this and says it is currently off the table. But one Lib Dem council leader, speaking at a fringe event alongside housing spokeswoman Helen Morgan, said abandoning national housing goals would be an “abdication of responsibility” and warned against “fluffy local targets”.
Sir Ed said the mechanism would be kept under any circumstances, which neither the Conservatives nor Labour have promised to do. Sir Ed has said its proposed social care package, which would see people “be looked after where they want to be at home”, could also save money by freeing up hospital beds and relieving pressure on care homes.
