I have just listened to Layla Moran being interviewed on PM. She is such an admirable voice of balance and reason. I was quite moved emotionally. We must have a cease fire and a 2 state solution.

Hello Frances. You have done a truly remarkable thing. The 25 instances could have been lifted from 1930s Germany. And the Nazi Party was spawned on the left. Are we really as close to such a repetition. It makes my blood run cold. Thank you for sharing all this

Now seen episode 2 of Mr Bates vs the Post Office. What a moving docudrama it is. How heart warming to learn that there are still some people willing to stand and oppose corporate bullying. Why is the compensation programme for the sub-postmasters taking so long?

On Tuesday, we completed tabloid deliveries to the first polling district of the Ashbrow ward. Five more to do. We met many unhappy ex-Labour people and a lot of disillusioned Tories.

In either case, the LibDems must remain independent of power and support Labour only when their proposals dovetail with our own. Otherwise, we must oppose.
The price for such support will be to legislate for PR

It is pretty humbling to see Alex Sopel and Layla Moran getting together to make a joint statement on the Palestinian/Israeli tragedy. The worldwide risks are too high to allow this to escalate further.

Have Labour now got their act together? Has the recent surge in popularity for the LibDems reached its zenith? Fair to say ‘well done’ to Lab for two gains so, perhaps yes to No 1. Other results on the night do not suggest that the LDs are done, so definitely ‘No’ to No 2.

Saturday we did most of the plan and, in the rain, I did the balance today. I’d forgotten how knackering leaflet delivery is. But on the upside 1/3 of the polling district is complete. Hoorah!

The Home Office has closed the Ukrainian Family Scheme meaning people can't come join their family members in the UK. This a cruel move and needs to be reversed immediately. Will you join me today and show your solidarity with Ukrainian families?

Absolutely no coalition at all. God in Heaven, have we learned nothing from 2010?
Offer Starmer support for legislation that fits with our principles, but for the rest, we must oppose.
It’s time to stand and be strong.

This talk of a Lib/Lab pact is imho potentially damaging. Do not trust Labour. They have never held their side of such bargains historically. We can support a minority Govt but oppose unnecessary legislation as an INDEPENDENT party, to enact PR.

In 2010 the LibDems soul searched and went into coalition with the Tories. In 2015, the Tories thanked that support by campaigning strongly in LD seats, reducing the number of LD MPs. That the LDs have risen to that challenge is remarkable and heart warming. Don’t trust Tories
