Smashing result!

Congratulations Cllr Kevin Smith. Down to earth, very nice, and in tune with the issues in his local area - the ideal choice!

Also good to catch up with peeps

We're continuing to turn the tide in Devon 🔶

A stonker of a night for us. Three huge wins, Reform nowhere near us and the Tories down to ten percent in Mel Stride’s own seat.

We are the only party taking Farage on and the only party beating him.

Graphic showing polling changes: Lib Dems +3, Labour +1, Conservatives -2, Reform -1. Headline reads 'Lib Dems winning: Lib Dems overtake Conservatives in bombshell poll'.

We are overtaking the Conservatives and on the cusp of overtaking Labour too.

More and more people are backing the Liberal Democrats to stand up to Reform and stop Trump’s America becoming Farage’s Britain.

Ed Davey banging the drum for Britain.

Liberal Democrats are the only party standing up for Britain as a decent and caring country and taking on the divisive politics of Nigel Farage and the Conservatives.
