It’s polling day. It’s 10 o’clock. Tim says thanks

By | Thu 4th May 2017 - 10:17 pm

As polls close in the local elections, Tim Farron has emailed party members to say thanks for all the hard work they have done over many months which has culminated in a very long day today. Activists are in pain right now. Many have been on the go since before dawn. And under normal circumstances, they’d be able to rest up for a bit, but Theresa May had other plans for our lives for the next five weeks.

Anyway, here’s what Tim said:

Hi

Polls are now closed in England, Scotland and Wales.

I want to thank every one of you that has contributed to the brilliant campaign we have fought.

I’ve been all over Britain to support our candidates in the last few weeks. Everywhere I’ve gone, I’ve been impressed by the determination and enthusiasm of our campaigners.

I hope that your results reflect the hard work you’ve put in.

But whatever the results tonight (and tomorrow), I’m proud of the campaign we have fought.
It’s another step towards rebuilding our party and our local government base.

It’s another step towards becoming the strong opposition Britain needs.
Thanks again for everything you’ve done.

Tim
