If you or anyone you know are in Hull and East Yorkshire, Reform are currently leading with Cons in second and Lib Dems third separated by just 3 points. Labour are being squeezed so in our famous mantra “only the Lib Dems can stop Reform or the Tories”. markpack.org.uk/174630/stop-…

LibDems win Woodbridge, Suffolk
This is an outstanding result for Ruth Leach who is now the county and district councillor for Woodbridge. It's a vote of confidence in the leadership of the council, featuring the Lib Dems, and a clear vote of confidence in the hard work and abilities of the Liberal Democrat’s in East Suffolk, not to mention the strength and growth of interest in the party here in East Anglia
