SIR – Listening to the new leader of the Liberal Democrats Tim Farron addressing his party conference, mentioning, among other things, his passion for the European Union and the sacrifices they made in the country’s interest when entering into coalition with the Conservative Party, and that they should put this behind them and look forward to participating in government again in 2020, I was deeply moved.

So much so that for the first time in my life I have decided to join a political party.

I cannot say at this time which one but I can say with certainty it won’t be the Liberal Democrats!
