What you can do while waiting for the new leader to be announced.

Fed up waiting for the result of the leadership election? Here’s something to take your mind of it whether you’re a Tim or a Norman supporter.

There is a major by-election in a key marginal seat in Kingston going on today. It was caused by the death of popular Liberal Democrat Councillor Chrissie Hitchcock. Our candidate is Jon Tolley who owns a record shop and has massively high name recognition in the ward. He’s clearly very well thought of.

The Tories have thrown the kitchen sink at the ward and have stopped to all sorts of lows. Think this leaflet slating Jon Tolley comes from the Greens?

Oh look another TORY LEAFLET with no policy or mention of tories anywhere. (Except for the teeny tiny legal imprint) pic.twitter.com/YvLNYhErMj

No, it’s the Tories trying to split the opposition vote.

If that sort of stuff makes you mad, you might want to make sure that you help get our vote out.

If you are nearby, there are two committee rooms at 22 Geneva Road and 55 Grove Road. Turn up there and you will be given plenty to do.

If you aren’t nearby, you can always make some phone calls: the VPB code is 9C4641P-2738. I’m sure Jon and the campaign team would really appreciate it.

If we get a 17% swing when they do this, can we encourage them to do it more?
