If you do nothing else in the next couple of days, please try and help Mike Ross become Mayor in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.
Ed Davey has done his bit by visiting the Beats Bus in Hull earlier this week.
Mike Ross really does look like he is living his best life. Ed doesn’t maybe look so comfortable, but as always he is willing to give it a go.
Ed told Hull Live:
“This is a serious post with a serious budget and serious objectives, not least to sort out the transport problems of Hull and East Yorkshire and we need someone who’s got that clout and Mike already has it. I think we can win and Mike will be a fantastic first Mayor for this area,” adding that Mike is a “big name” with “huge experience.”
I really want Mike to win on Thursday. Last Summer I spent two weeks in Hull. It was a really tough and challenging time but every single person I met in Hull was so friendly and so kind and willing to help. The city itself is absolutely gorgeous and you can see the benefit of having a Liberal Democrat Council committed to serving the city and getting stuff done.

Reform is really stoking up divisions and making people angry while Lib Dems actually do things to improve their lives. I suspect that many people who are disappointed with the Conservatives and Labour will be lending their vote to Mike, who is best placed to stop Reform.
This is what Mike wants to achieve if he becomes Mayor:
