Winning more councillors than the Tories provides a platform for Parliamentary successes at the GE. With more fantastic Liberal Democrats Cllrs, and winning Dorset Council for the first time, people in the south west are making their voices heard - and are saying they want change.

Almost all Councils declared. Incredible that we’re winning more seats than the Tories. I’m so proud to have contributed massively to three of these gains.

Also brilliant that we’re gaining seats from both the Tories and Labour 🔶🔶

Plus 4 and still running the council! Great job, Team Winchester!

So so proud of newly elected Councillors Mike Newman in Cheadle East & Cheadle Hulme North, and Dan Oliver in Offerton!!

We proved that the Lib Dems can take the fight to Labour and win 🔶❤️

Exeter Lib Dems Gain a Seat! Amazing work, team!

Liberal Democrats have held control of Kingston upon Hull City Council.

This is ludicrous - an example of the damage that the Conservatives’ botched voter ID rules are wreaking. People who've served our country should not be barred from exercising their democratic right.

Tomorrow, you get to elect Devon and Cornwall's Police & Crime Commissioner. Twelve years would be four years too many for the Conservative incumbent. If you agree it's time for change, then vote Liberal Democrats.

A sunny and warm afternoon in #Torbay with an equally sunny and warm reception on the doorsteps for the .Torbay Liberal Democrats 🔶 an Steve Darling #boosttorbay #torbayhour

As a former Cabinet Member for Tourism on Torbay Council I imagine the tourism industry is tearing its hair out at plans to not have the English Riviera Wheel which helps promote the Bay. The Conservatives are mishandling things yet again #boosttorbay

Sadly this lack of honesty and integrity is all part of the Conservative playbook for politics

After silence and qualified denials, it has been revealed that Mr Jupp’s campaign manager was responsible for the dishonest campaign tactics. This is a new low for the Conservative Party. We deserve better.

Assuming this to be part of a wider effort by the Conservatives I have had to register a number of URLs bearing my name. I am writing to Messrs. Kerr and Simon Jupp MP requesting the refund of the £92.35 I have incurred in this exercise. Pay up! bbc.com/news/uk-englan…?

TRUST IN POLITICS

Lib Dem Councillors in Paignton town yesterday asking locals if they would sign our petition demanding a Paignton Police enquiry office. Tory government failed to give Paignton a grant again.

Last week, my team and I finished our 10,000th piece of casework on behalf of local residents.

As an MP, working on big issues like health and sewage might make newspaper headlines - but most of what I do is helping individual constituents with challenges they’re facing.

It was great to chat with Josh Tate and work experience student Honey on @RadioExe yesterday. Josh and I both live in Uffculme, so we discussed the upcoming boundary changes for the General Election and how young people can make their voices heard. Thanks for having me on Josh!
