🎉🎉🎉 A hat-trick of good news for Lib Dems this afternoon:

1. Confirmed: Lib Dems win more council seats that Conservatives, for first time in nearly 30 years. (If only the anti-Sunak plotters had made 'at least beat the Lib Dems' as their yardstick for the PM...')

1/3 2. Despite switch to first past the post for London Mayor, @robblackie increased Lib Dem vote and moved us to third.

3. @Gareth_Roberts_ becomes first ever winner of a GLA constituency seat who isn't Conservative or Labour. Oh, he's Lib Dem :)

2/3

A record of action, and (yes) a promise of more:

Manifestos are out for the Lib Dem President election! Here's mine on what I've done in the last three years and what I'd like your support to do over the next three.

But they have a valuable purpose. /2

I'm really looking forward to the chance to set out the huge improvements we've... "As an MP elected in 2... ... made in how the party is run in the last three years - and my plans to work with members, supporters and staff over the next three years if re-elected.

We've seen in Parliamentary by-election wins and council seat gains just how big the potential is for us - as long as... "I am an enthusiastic ...

Among my most fun Chesham and Amersham stories are:

(a) The floating voter a colleague met who was torn between voting for Sarah Green... or the Lib Dems. (b) The voter with a picture of Thatcher just behind their door... who was voting Lib Dems.

Here's why a @jeremycorbyn led Labour Party isn't a wise choice for anyone who is pro-EU and wants to #StopBrexit. Corbyn has been a consistent Eurosceptic, including voting with the right-wing Eurosceptic Tories. Let's step through a little (big) thread... Jeremy Corbyn voted for Britain to leave the European Economic Community (EEC) in the 1975 European referendum.
