Sir Ed Davey said the Liberal Democrats are not 'a flash in the pan' as they look to make gains in Thursday's local elections. The party is targeting councils across the south of England and is also campaigning in northern councils such as Hull and Newcastle.
The Liberal Democrats are projected to make modest gains in Thursday's local elections, according to Sir Ed Davey. The party is targeting councils across the south of England, particularly in Surrey, Sussex, and Hertfordshire, at the expense of the Conservatives. Sir Ed said his party is growing 'year on year' and had its best result in 100 years at the general election. He claimed the Liberal Democrats are 'the real environmental champions' of the election, campaigning on issues like fly-tipping, sewage, and recycling. Sir Ed also said his party is the tactical choice to 'stop Reform' and that they are the only party beating Reform in by-elections. The Liberal Democrats are also campaigning in northern councils such as Hull, Stockport, and Newcastle.
