  • @SharonBowlesMEP Just had naked man answering door while knocking up, I know its legendary but never happened to me before. #votelibdem
  • @joswinson slightly muted cheers at #pmqs – not sure if it’s due to voting till 4am so folk are sleepy, or as lots of MPs not here due to elections
  • @alexfoster We’re volunteers! We can’t afford the people or the money to leaflet everywhere!
  • @BeckyLindeman LEAFLETS DON’T FLY THEMSELVES THROUGH LETTERBOXES, ELECTORAL COMMISSION ADVERT!
