'Corporate lapdog' Lib Dems blasted by Green leader
Natalie Bennett attacks Nick Clegg's party over its support for US-EU free trade deal
Green Party leader Natalie Bennett branded Lib Dems “the lapdogs of corporate Europe” at the weekend over their support for the transatlantic trade deal.
She warned a free trade deal between the US and European Union would “blow apart the power of our democratic decision making” at her party’s spring conference in Liverpool on Saturday.
The EU Commission labelled the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) “the biggest trade deal in the world” and claimed cutting regulation would boost the EU economy by £120 billion.
