Lib Dems condemn “chaotic and incompetent” budget
The sheer quantity of raw sewage being dumped into Britain’s rivers and coastal areas is a scandal and a disgrace.
Commenting on last night's by-election result in Shap which saw the Liberal Democrats gain the seat from the Conservatives, Tim Farron said:
Last night Thursday 14th November Neil McCall, The Liberal Democrat candidate in the Shap by-election, recorded a 48.5% share of the vote in a decisive win. The previous Conservative councillor stood down for personal reasons only months after the May all-out District elections but Neil was still keen to serve the community so moved into election mode again. It is not easy campaigning in the dark winter months but a team of LibDems trudged around Shap in the daylight hours and were rewarded with some sparkling sunshine showing off the great views to the fells enjoyed in this area.
Thank you for everything that you and your teams are doing in this General Election. Over 10 million leaflets have already been sent to voters up and down the country, from Shetland to St. Ives.
Today Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor and Deputy Leader Ed Davey will be making his General Election keynote speech in Leeds.
The Liberal Democrats are Britain's third largest party, with as many members as the Conservatives and fielding or supporting candiates in every seat (except that of the Speaker) in the General Election on 12th December.
People should feel safe in their homes and on their streets. But this is not how it is for too many people today: knife crime has increased by over 75 per cent since 2015; homicides are at their highest rate for a decade; robberies and thefts are increasing and almost all go unsolved; and there are more and more places in the country where people simply don't see police officers.
