Fantastic results in Chippenham last night. This seat provides the Lib Dems with a very real chance of victory next year and our first seat in Wiltshire for generations. I hope all Lib Dems across the county focus their energies on getting Duncan in at Chippenham.
I think a certain politician with connections to that area ought to concentrate on doing what he does best – selling sausages!
Well done Duncan and the team.
