The Liberal Democrats have promised changes to make the economy work better. Deputy leader Daisy Cooper said the UK should move away from a system that blocks people with automatic decisions, like “computer says no.” She made these points during a speech at her party conference. Cooper also proposed a new Growth and Defence Partnership with the European Union. The plan aims to strengthen cooperation with the EU in areas linked to economic growth and security. Supporters say this could reduce delays, make it easier for businesses to plan, and encourage more investment. Overall, the party is presenting its policy as a practical way to boost growth and help the UK economy perform more effectively.
