As reported in the Liberal Democrat News yesterday, the Social Liberal Forum has now been launched. Our Director, Matthew Sowemimo, has also written a short article on Lib Dem Voice.
Our launch appears to have caused a bit of a stir – which is kind of the point. You can follow the debate by going to Cobden’s Comments, The People’s Republic of Mortimer, Sci-Ence! Justice Leak! and Charlotte Gore Blog (apologies if I missed anyone out – just add them in the comments below and I will append).
UPDATE: more coverage on Eaten by Missionaries.
How does the Social Liberal Forum differ from the Beveridge Group?
Fundamentally, the key difference is that we are run by different people. With that said, we do have a number of Beveridge Group members on our advisory board, most notably Paul Holmes MP. We don’t see ourselves as in competition with the Beveridge Group at all.
