Westminster are off to a great start in this by-election. Caroline joined the local team delivering their latest Focus over a sunny Easter weekend, before meeting up with Jonathan Fryer for a drink at a pub in the sun. It was a warm welcome (in more ways than one!) from both residents and the local Lib Dem team.
Caroline has been out and about over the last few weeks helping in by-elections in London. The team in Chingford Green are putting up a really strong fight in a Tory-held ward. We're hoping an energetic campaign, combined with a history of regular Focus delivery over the last 20 years, may result in a shock victory in former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith's back yard.
Liberal Democrats at their Spring Conference at Harrogate on Saturday discussed measures to tackle gun crime amongst the young in South London. Following an initiative by Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Spokesperson for Streatham Chris Nicholson, the Conference’s ‘urgent issues debate’ concerned gun crime, following the recent tragic killings in South London.
