The facts are clear: soon after the lockdown was imposed, when the rate of infection was nearly at its height, as Londoners specifically were being warned against leaving their coronavirus stricken city for rural areas, and at a time when his partner was clearly showing symptoms of the disease, the Prime Minister's Chief Advisor decided for himself where he would most like to spend lockdown.

Ramadan Mubarak to all our Muslim readers and their families at this important time of year.

Part One: Leafleting

I am not a typical volunteer. In fact my track record of expending time and effort when there's nothing in it for me personally is unimpressive, to put it mildly. Yet during the last few months I have been active on behalf of the Liberal Democrats in two election campaigns, the first national, the second local. Why did I do this, you may ask, and what did I actually do?

Sometimes 2nd is a great result. Congratulations to our double candidate Jonny Edge for bringing us two great results on 30th January in the snap by elections in Newmarket North (District) and Newmarket and Red Lodge (County). From a standing start, LibDems didn't contest Newmarket North last time, the energy of our campaign team and fantastic candidate paid off. These polls give us huge confidence of future success. The actual County Council elections will happen in May next year, so there's really a target to aim for. So expect to be involved because we are determined ti win in 2021.

Last weekend 10 or so West Suffolk LibDems went to support Ian Sollom in S Cambs. Well done and a great big thank you. Everyone can make a difference in this close fight for Heidi Allen's former seat (spot Heidi in the group).
