  • @timfarron So sad to hear about Andrew Reeves – he was just a really lovely guy, incredibly talented, dedicated to the party, immensely wise and thoughtful, we all owe him a huge amount. We’ve lost him just when we needed him most. I’m heartbroken for his partner Roger, his family, friends and those closest to him.
  • @Lucy_Watt Remembering one of the most moving blog posts that I have ever read as I remember Andrew Reeves (@andyreeves). http://bit.ly/e5fPLn
  • @caronmlindsay Just had first proper sad, rather than shocked, tears after reading this tribute to Andrew Reeves from @callum_leslie http://bit.ly/mBk5b2
  • @phil_reilly I suspect Andrew Reeves would have been rather proud that he is trending in the UK, just below Tom & Jerry and just above two footballers.
  • @emmaprice Today many of us have lost a friend and a very valued colleague. Rest in peace Andrew Reeves. You were an inspiration to me.

    • If you are a Lib Dem who tweets, and would like to be added to Ryan’s Lib Dem Tweets aggregator, drop him an email at [email protected]
