Lib Dems must learn lesson of Iraq when it comes to Brexit campaigning
Liberal Democrats pull off shock by-election victory on a massive swing in a London Parliamentary by-election dominated by foreign policy issues. All sounds rather familiar… for what was Sarah Olney, Richmond Park and Brexit in 2016 has echoes of Sarah Teather, Brent and Iraq in 2003. In that parallel are some important lessons for the Liberal Democrats, because taking the long view back over the first decade of this century it is hard to see what the eventual electoral benefit was to the party of its distinctive and popular position on Iraq.

Reflections on Sleaford
This is the next of a series of postcards which Anita Day, Parliamentary Spokesperson for Grantham and Stamford has written to members and supporters Last week's by-election in Sleaford & North Hykeham was very important for Lib Dems in Lincolnshire. True, the Tories won the seat easily… and in the end we were beaten into third place by UKIP. But those headlines conceal some really positive signs. Bearing in mind that the constituency was one which strongly voted Leave, the Lib Dems were the only major party to increase their vote share (by over 5%). Compare that to the Tories and UKIP, who both lost more than 2% vote share, and Labour whose share of the vote fell by over 7% and who were pushed into 4th place. This was a constituency in which, on paper, we shouldn't have had any hope… and yet we were the only party for which support rose!
