✊ Nowhere should be a no-go area for the Liberal Democrats. We are the last line of defence against Reform’s division.

Absolutely colossal night of success for the Lib Dems.
In the 10 byelections, the LDs have gained from the CONs, GRNs, INDs and LAB, with a narrow loss to REF by 31 votes in Babergh.
Scoreboard: LD 7, REF 1, CON 1, IND 1.
I assume the media will cover this as breathlessly as every opinion poll?

It’s appalling to see police officers come under attack at the Tommy Robinson rally. Those involved should be held accountable through the full force of the law.
