Other than Ben being a fantastic candidate, the clear choice between him and Reform makes this a very straightforward choice for the fine folks of Sussex!
It's Lib Dems or Reform for Sussex Mayor.
The choice is clear: I will fight to protect our environment. I'll deliver better public transport, and champion a stronger local economy for everyone. We are the positive alternative. We can win this. Help me win 👇

The government say there needs to be strong justification for delaying Sussec council elections again. I hope they will tell Sussex Tories that wanting to cling onto power isn’t that. It’s time for elections, it’s time for change in Sussex. Read their reply to my call for votes to go ahead 👇

Keir Starmer needs to wake up and fix our broken voting system before the next election, or he risks letting Nigel Farage into Number 10.
