Sarah Cheung Donaldson

Introducing Sarah Cheung Johnson, Council Candidate in May 2017 local elections

Sarah calls herself a "post-Brexit newbie" and like many others that joined the Liberal Democrats after the EU Referendum last June, felt she could no longer just sit by the sidelines. On joining the party she found a warm welcome from her local South Cambridgeshire team and was soon asked to stand for County Council as a candidate for her local division, Longstanton, Northstowe & Over.

Save our services by using reserves mountain, say Newcastle Lib Dems

Liberal Democrat councillors in Newcastle will propose a series of changes to Newcastle Council's budget plans at Wednesday's city council meeting, designed to save a number of popular services such as school crossing patrols, individual litter bins in terraced areas, funding for parks maintenance, the current number of recycling centres, and grants to independent leisure centres.

Liberal Democrat Gain

Four Lib Dem by-election gains

After Tuesday's by-election result, Thursday brings another three council by-elections along with the two Parliamentary by-elections in Copeland and Stoke. Continuing the Liberal Democrat pattern of polarising psephology, the distant and falling vote share in Tuesday's contest has been followed by two massive gains from the Conservatives. Either the Lib Dems are finishing way short of the winning post, or way beyond it. Just not close to it.
