Jerry Roodhouse, the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Rugby and Bulkington, has written to the local papers to say thank you to all those people who voted for him and the Liberal Democrats at the General Election.
Carrie Hynds, our Parliamentary Candidate for Hove, who grew up in Northern Ireland, gives her views on the DUP, who may be propping up the minority Tory goverment soon. There's suddenly a lot of national interest in the DUP and Northern Irish politics. Rightly so. On an emotional level, I associate the DUP with feelings of claustrophobia and oppression. They shamelessly conflate politics and religion (Rev Ian Paisley was simultaneously the political First Minister and leader of the Free Presbyterian church - which is like the Archbishop of Canterbury being Prime Minister and seeing no conflict of interest). They reinforce victim-shaming, emotional abuse and are interested in no-one's voice but their own.
Many thanks to everyone who voted Lib Dem in Sevenoaks and Swanley constituency on June 8th. Thanks also to all our campaign helpers and supporters.
What(ever) next? Here's a message from Stephen Dorrell, Chair of the European Movement.
This was the hardest of elections, marred by the tragedy of those vile terrorist attacks in Manchester and in London, Liberal Democrats Leader Tim Farron said today.
Lynne Beaumont has thanked voters across Folkestone and Hythe for their support in the General Election. Locally Damian Collins retained the seat for the Conservatives and Labour were second, with Lynne Beaumont moving from 4th in 2015 to take 3rd this time around.
