Our warmest wishes go to everyone out campaigning today.

If you are a candidate realistically hoping that you will be an MP tomorrow, then go for it (and stop reading political blogs for the time being!).

If you are a candidate with little chance of winning, then keep cheerful – we owe you a huge thank you for giving so much to this campaign and keeping the Lib Dem diamonds bright.

If you are an activist or supporter who will be spending the day door knocking, delivering, telling or doing those all vital back room tasks, then you are the real heroes of this campaign. Enjoy the day, and be pleased that you have participated in an election that we will be talking about for many years to come.

You won’t be hearing much from the Lib Dem Voice team during the day today – we are all a bit busy. But we will be offering news and commentary throughout the night so do check in after 10pm and maybe share stories with us at [email protected].

We should also remember the many council by-elections taking place today as well. The news about those contests may get buried under the national news, but please let us know and we will highlight what we can.

    However things turn out, credit to Ed Davy for his willingness to do anything to get media exposure for the Party.

    In a small win for common decency, I’ve spoken to two labour friends, one green friend and a Heathite tory today who will all actively cheer if we win Torbay after the appalling untruth spread about our candidate there. Good luck to all our candidates 🔶

    I’ll add my congratulations for the campaign, and hopes for a record number of seats.

    And a rest for Mad Ed, but I expect he won’t get one.

    I suspect that here in Ashfield the Leeanderthal Man will be back, unfortunately.
