Congratulations to all the Liberal Democrats 🔶 candidates, who have ensured that the party has secured more council seats in the local elections than the Conservatives 👍

Most of all, though, thank you to all the amazing voters, who have put their faith in us 🔶 We won't let you down 🙏

It is time for the BBC to change its stance on promoting Reform and Richard Tice at the expense of Liberal Democrats. Reform won virtually 0 seats, whilst Lib Dems won more seats than the Conservatives. Time we saw less of Reform on the news and Question Time etc. #LocalElection2024

Striking results from Sunderland, where Reform comfortably ahead of CONS. If this is repeated eleswhere, will increase Reform vote intention in opinion polls - and start to come in ahead of Tories.

Ed Davey forecast to be LOTO?!

Tory MP makes good case for why it's a bad idea to place unnecessary obstacles between voters and the ballot box. Perhaps Michael Gove can stop solving problems that don't exist (voter fraud) and focus his energies on those that do (leasehold, building safety, local govt funding)

It's election day in #WitleyAndMilford and the polls are open til 10pm!

Remember to take your ID to the polling station.

Please treat people working at polling stations with respect. #Surrey #Byelection #PoliceAndCrimeCommissioner #Election

Why I’ll be voting in the police and crime commissioner election today, why I have voted for Paul Kennedy and some local matters about the police.

If you live in Witley and Milford I would also urge you to vote for our fantastic, local candidate Laura Cavaliere too!

Vote Laura Cavaliere for #Witley and #Milford 🔶

Residents of #Brook can visit Pirrie Hall today - up till 10pm - to cast their vote 🙏

Residents of #Witley can visit The Chichester Hall and residents in #Milford , Milford Village Hall 🗳️

People tell me they are utterly furious with Portsmouth's Labour MP voting with the Tories to let Southern Water off the hook.

The best way to vote to save our seas and stop the sewage today is to elect hard-working Liberal Democrat councillors.

The Lib Dem 🔶 team out and about on Petworth Road this morning 🍃

Vote Laura Cavaliere for #Witley and #Milford 🔶

Vote Paul Kennedy for #Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner 🔶

A very reasonably and compassionate response from Daisy Cooper MP 🔶 towards people in poverty who turn, out of desperation, to petty crime and shoplifting.

Our politics needs to see more of this approach and less of the knee jerk reactionary headline grabbing which is so commonplace.

Good morning all! Don’t forget to vote. Polling stations open until 10pm. And remember your photo ID!

It's election day in #WitleyAndMilford and the polls are open!

Remember to take your ID to the polling station. Please treat people working at polling stations with respect.

Of course they did.
Just like Big Tobacco for decades sowed doubt about the dangers of cigarettes, while being well aware of them, and traduced the scientists who warned of them.

A serious question,

'I'm delivering for the British people, and that's what I'll continue to do'.
Rishi Sunak.

are there any Tory voters out there who can tell me anything he's actually delivered for the British people..... I'll wait. 🤷

Of course it is not a good use of public money

He sits here and defends this…this is why behind the hundreds of doors that we knock on in #GodalmingAndAsh we find moderate, reasonable, former Con voters who see their old party far to the right and far beyond sense & compassion
