The polls open in eight and a half hours. I hope that all the bundling is done and the Eve of Polls are out and all campaigners are tucked up in bed sleeping soundly ahead of an early start with the Good Mornings.
All the very best from the LDV team to everyone getting out the vote tomorrow and a huge thanks for all the work that you have all done. Elections are not won on polling day. It’s been a long, hard slog. Thanks to everyone from agents to stakeboarders, to organisers to candidates who have achieved so much.
Ahead of polling day, Ed has predicted that Kemi Badenoch faces a reckoning at the ballot box as Conservative voters back the Liberal Democrats. I suspect she may come to regret that comment about us fixing roofs instead of being on Twitter.
He said:
Kemi Badenoch is facing a reckoning at the ballot box as former Conservative voters across the home counties rally behind the Liberal Democrats.
Badenoch sneering at the Lib Dems for being the party that cares for your community and will fix your local church roof shows exactly why her party has lost the public’s trust.
People are deeply disappointed with Keir Starmer’s Labour government but won’t forgive the Conservative Party for all the damage they did to the country.
It’s clear Nigel Farage and his ragtag band of Putin apologists don’t offer the solutions that people are crying out for. That’s why so many people are backing the Liberal Democrats because they know we work hard for our communities, and are the only party standing up for Britain.

I’m no lover of Putin or Reform but the suggestion that Farage and his party are Putin apologists is not the way we wish to do politics.
@Mike – Admittedly it was ten years ago, but Nigel Farage did name Vladimir Putin as the world leader he most admired, praising him for his “brilliant” handling of the civil war in Syria. Asked by Alastair Campbell which world leader he most admired, Farage replied “As an operator, but not as a human being, I would say Putin. The way he played the whole Syria thing. Brilliant. Not that I approve of him politically…”
Farage’s party is another matter. What we should perhaps be emphasising (apart from the incessant “everything is the fault of immigrants”) is that their figures don’t add up. Supposedly, NHS waiting times reduced to zero in two years, but also whacking great tax giveaways on income tax, stamp duty and IHT. Makes Liz Truss look sensible.
Local elections can be a bit unreliable as regards how the electorate are inclined to vote. Poor turnouts, local factors etc can all skew a result. The Welsh Senedd May next year will be a far better guide to public mood.
Sadly Neil – voters feel that current politicians fail to deliver, & the status quo is never a good sell. The rise of populist politics is the fault of successive progressive politics & politicians.
How many times have we heard there all the same , nothing changes around here etc…
The continued cost of living crisis, coupled with the failure to tackle immigration, rising bills, soaring rents, poor NHS delivery , it’s just a sense of perpetual decline.
“the only party standing up for Britain”.
I’m really sorry,, but that really is stretching the elastic more than a bit.
