The Prime Minister is set to ask Parliament to trigger article 50 by the end of March, but St Albans voted 63% Remain with an 82.5% turnout. In keeping with this, St Albans Lib Dems will be hosting a big campaign day to speak with voters about BREXIT and the upcoming county elections. Campaigning will kick off from 10am.

Sarah Olney has been unanimously selected as the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Richmond Park by-election on the 1st of December (just under a month away!) Sarah believes in keeping Britain in the single market, protecting our local NHS and stopping a third runway being built at Heathrow. After our progress in Witney (and many thanks to those who helped there), we can win this seat, we really can. Which would transform our position in Southwark, London and the country.

Followed by an impassioned, rigorous and dedicated campaign, LibDems' Liz Leffman has leap-frogged over Labour and UKIP candidates into second place in the Witney by-election. This comes as a result of Liz's well-fought campaign against Tories in their 10th most secure seat. Together with her team and thousands of loyal LibDem Volunteers from across the country, Liz successfully managed a 19.3% swing from feeble Tory to pro-EU LibDem. This meant that 20 000 loyal Tory voters, had voted yellow as they felt their party had not done enough in the face of a post-Brexit era.  

WITNEY BY-ELECTION: LDW’s chair, Liz Leffman, has been selected as the Lib Dem’s parliamentary candidate for the Witney by-election. We know LDW members will all be behind Liz at this exciting time, and we encourage everyone to get involved in campaigning and fundraising over the next few weeks.
