Sir Menzies Campbell, the newly elected federal leader of the Liberal Democrats today (Sunday 5th March) gave a rousing address to the party's Spring Federal Conference in Harrogate, spelling out his platform for taking the party forward.

Speaking to a packed conference, Sir Menzies said, "To be the leader of the Liberal Democrats is to be the trustee of a great party, with so much to be proud of - but with so many dazzling achievements still to come.

"Let us pledge today that where we see unfairness we will challenge it; Where we see injustice we will attack it; And where we see prejudice we will confront it.

"Together we must campaign as never before. Together we must become the rallying point for a new liberal democratic Britain.

"Together we will win."
