WATCH: The #LiberalLondon Rally

By | Wed 7th March 2018 - 1:30 pm

Last night, London Lib Dems launched their campaign for May’s elections. One of the many things that is fantastic about having Vince as leader is that he gets local government. He gets why it is important as an end in itself. He’s been there – as a councillor in another city, Glasgow, back in the 70s. Hackney Heroine Pauline Pearce talked about the scourge of knife crime. Caroline Pidgeon talked about winning in a safe Labour seat. The amazing Ruth Dombey, leader of Sutton Council, talked about their investment in mental health support among other things.

You can watch the whole event here.

And here are some of the Twitter highlights.

    Fantastic, amazing!: surely they are just political leaders, doing the job ascribed to them or am I missing soemthing.
    I hope it isn’t but this could be our worst set of local government election results ever, bearing in mind that we are already coming form a very low base after years of destruction from coalition years, especially 2014.
    Some of us may think we are Gods gift but is that what the general public think?? The reality seemingly continues to paint a bleak picture.
