The best tweets of the #INtogether Day of Action

Hundreds of enthusiastic Liberal Democrats hit the streets today for the first INtogether National Day of Action for the EU referendum campaign. From Daventry to Yate to Dunfermline to Plymouth, we flew the European flag.

The weather was very kind to us. My husband warned me to take a jacket into Edinburgh with me because it was going to turn nasty but it never did.  We held a street stall in Morningside in Edinburgh.

Who needs a battlebus?

The INtogether fever spread to the East Midlands:

The team out in Dunfermline including Bryn Jones, who wrote for us the other day about his experience as a candidate

Coventry’s team had a pretty setting:

Calderdale, is that a Stronger Economy, Fairer Society banners still in use?

Here was our Morningside stall

And when all the stalls were finished, the phone bank was still going:
