Imagine how great it would feel to wake up on Friday morning to find that the voters of Somerton and Frome had elected Sarah Dyke as the 15th Lib Dem MP, and the fourth Lib Dem by-election winner in just over two years? You can be part of the campaign either on the ground or from the comfort of your own home. All the information you need to help is here.

Eastleigh PPC Liz Jarvis seems to have hardly been away from Somerset these past few weeks:

As @EdwardJDavey just told @KayBurley in Somerton and Frome we have been finding lifelong Conservatives who are voting for the @LibDems @SarahDykeLD on Thursday because they have had enough. The Conservatives will be in serious trouble if they lose all three by-elections.

The place seems to be turning Lib Dem orange:

Had an absolute blast today getting up EVEN MORE #LibDems stakeboards in #SomertonAndFrome. I don’t think I’ve *ever* known people so keen to have garden posters. Whole villages going for gold! Only 3 days to go and people are STILL requesting them! 🔶🔶🔶 Back at it tomorrow 💪 pic.twitter.com/sbvQk63tPN
