Lib Dem activists have spent the evening spreading false and malicious claims about me online. This attempt to bully me will not work. If this is how Lib Dems treat someone who dares to stand against Ed Davey, is it any wonder sub-postmasters couldn’t get answers from Ed?. 👀👇🏻

I have now instructed lawyers to begin defamation proceedings as these horrible lies have not been retracted by the Lib Dems. All damages awarded will be donated to the Horizon Scandal Fund. Lib Dems should stop their bullying & focus on the issues: Justice for sub-postmasters!.

This is a lie. I have never been investigated by the police for anything, yet alone 'racist hate crime'. I will be taking legal action if this lie is not retracted. The Lib Dems are trying to silence me - it's no wonder sub-postmasters couldn't get justice from Ed.

I want to wish Mr Bates the very best for his appearance at the Business Select Committee in parliament today. Mr Bates says he’ll move ‘heaven and earth’ to get compensation sorted fast. God bless Mr Bates. #MrBatesvsPostOffice.

Ed refused to help Tolworth's sub-postmaster when he was falsely accused, refused for months to meet Alan Bates, and he refused TEN times to apologise for his handling of the greatest miscarriage of justice in British history. If I'm elected MP, I'll always listen to residents.

Because Ed is my local MP. Why would I stand anywhere else? I’ve lived here all 68 years of my life. And I’ve repeatedly said I’m speaking up for and endorsed by people like Tolworth subpostmaster Sathyan Shiju in Ed’s area who was affected. No surprise you’re a Lib Dem Cllr….
@HelenSalmon10 @SkyNews Because she has an agenda and isn't interested in anything else. The post office scandal has only just suddenly become important to her the last few weeks. She wasn't affected btw.

Sharron is not the only person who has come forward today saying that they were also bullied by Lib Dems. Is it any wonder sub-postmasters couldn’t get answers or justice when seemingly this is how Ed’s own local party treat people who dare to speak out?. We won’t be silenced.

As former postmistress at New Malden Post Office, I think Ed’s denials & deflections are shameful. It’s time for Ed to do the right thing & hand back his knighthood… and come the next election, it’s incumbent on those seeking justice for our sub-postmasters to stand against Ed.

No, it couldn’t. Tories hold 0 councillors in Ed Davey’s constituency. Independents hold 2 and Lib Dems 34.
@BBCPolitics I understand her frustration, but I'd rather we kept the pressure on Government to sort out the mess of this scandalous situation. If she manages to take a percentage of the Lib Dems votes in her & Ed Davies constituency it could mean a Tory Seat. Nobody should want that 🤬.

@mumblesgirl64 I feel passionately about the rights of women, and feel that single-sex spaces should be protected. When any services are proposed to be altered, bodies are required by law to undertake an Equalities Impact Assessment (EqIA), and this includes looking at the impact based on sex.
