With nearly all seats declared weโve only gone and won more seats than we did in 2005! Couldnโt be prouder to have campaigned for such an amazing party ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
Also couldnโt have been prouder to see
@ThomasMorrison
win by 12,000 in Cheadle! He will be such an incredible MP โค๏ธโค๏ธ
Proud to announce that I am our Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate for Liverpool Walton! I think(?) I am our youngest PPC! ๐ถ๐ถ
Itโs a honour and a privilege to stand in the city that I was born and raised in. (1)
Apart from the guy who was homophobic to me, we had a brilliant response in Cheadle Hulme and Cheadle Village!
Itโs so important to get more liberals elected - we cannot and must not let hate win ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ ๐
Trans women are women. They deserve far better than the hateful rhetoric promoted by both the Tories and Labour.
And to the disgusting vile transphobes who have piled on many fellow Lib Dems recently: keep crying. we will always be allies to trans people ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธโค๏ธ
๐จ BREAKING: Labour will ban trans women from female hospital wards, confirms Keir Starmer.
Starmer told ITV today he agrees with NHS reforms that would ban trans people from single-sex wards. When asked if trans women should be allowed on women's wards, he said: "I disagree".
Support for ending the ban on the building of new onshore wind farms in England:
Support: 60%
Oppose: 23%
...net support by 2024 vote:

So many blues delivered today! I managed to get 45,000 steps in delivering round Cheadle Village, Cheadle Hulme and Bramhall!
Lots of support for
@ThomasMorrison
everywhere you go! ๐ถ๐ถ
Thank you to everyone in Wavertree who took the time to chat this evening! Lots of positive conversations & lots of support for the local Lib Dems! ๐งก๐งก
Thank you everyone for the lovely responses โค๏ธโค๏ธ Iโm okay now. It was quite scary but after being fussed over (and a glass or two of wine), Iโm much better. Iโve reported this to GMP.
So proud to have spoken about my personal story with cancer this conference. Big thank you to
@libdemdaisy
for moving this extremely important motion ๐ถ๐
The general election may be over but the hard work continues! Letting residents in Everton and Toxteth know about the fight to save our leisure centres.
While its Labour Councillors are absent,
@Everton2Gether
and the Lib Dems are fighting for Everton ๐ถ๐ถ
A very successful evening of canvassing around Cheadle Village! We got:
๐ถ A new garden poster site ๐ถ
๐ณ Former Conservative voters who are now backing
@ThomasMorrison
๐ณ
๐ณ๏ธ Lots of voters backing the Lib Dems to get a hardworking local MP ๐ณ๏ธ
I had a lovely chat with someone who always votes Lib Dem because they remember how much better Liverpool was under a Lib Dem led Council and they remember how hardworking their Lib Dem Councillors were.
Itโs those moments that make it all worth it โค๏ธ๐ถ
I will fight to oppose the Labour Party with every breath of my being. They are a transphobic, morally spineless, austerity-enabling pathetic excuse for an opposition. They have betrayed progressives and left people without the hope that things will be better without the Tories.
Good to be out updating residents on positive local action that the Lib Dem team have been taking! It even stopped raining!
Sadly I didnโt bump into any cats :(
So proud of how strong and determined the Lib Dem opposition is in Liverpool. You can tell
@LiverpoolLabour
are rattled as weโre calling them out relentlessly on their long list of failures!! ๐ถโค๏ธ
Tonight
@LiverLibDems
are holding our first Shadow Cabinet meeting.
Our Shadow Cabinet members are here and weโre joined by
@lpoolcouncil
CEO Andrew Lewis
Good to be out with
@LeeWinners
and
@HannahK_LD
delivering and doorknocking in Heald Green! There is a real appetite for change across Cheadle and only the Lib Dems can provide it ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
I had a lovely Spring Conference! It was great to catch up with Lib Dem friends across the country, meet some of our amazing MPs and make my conference maiden speech!
A perfect reminder why I am and always will be a liberal ๐ถ๐
We were out in Offerton where the brilliant
@DanielOliverSK
was elected this May! Lots of support for the Lib Dems!
Thank you
@TraffordLibDems
for your help!
Lib Dem day out in West Derby! You canโt see it from the photo but
@isthisisdavid
lent me his ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ bag! Perfect for storing lots of newspapers!
Lots of love on the doorstep for
@ThomasMorrison
in Cheadle Hulme and Cheadle Village! People are desperate to get rid of the Tories and want a hardworking Lib Dem MP! ๐ถ๐ถ
A combined 70,000 steps and god knows how many tabloids delivered! Good to be out supporting
@LincolnLibDems
and letโs hope for some good gains from Labour ๐ช๐ช
Very eventful Lib Dem day! First stop street letters in Wavertree, next stop doorknocking in West Derby! Lots of lovely conversations and important casework picked up ๐๐ถ
The Rochdale by-election is spectacularly cursed.
Labour stuck with a conspiracist.
Greens disowned their candidate for attacks on Islam.
Reform candidate sent sexts to a teen.
Galloway marauding around like the thug he is.
Godawful mess.
Just a small selection of campaigning photos across Cheadle constituency this week! From Cheadle Hulme to Woodford, weโve been out on the doors! ๐ถ๐ถ
Happy postal vote weekend to all those who celebrate!! ๐ณ๏ธ๐ถ
What an incredible campaign this has been so far! There is so much support on the doorstep for
@ThomasMorrison
. Team Cheadle are winning here!
It was only a few weeks ago we were campaigning to get more Lib Dem Councillors elected in Stockport!
Now itโs time to campaign to get the amazing
@ThomasMorrison
elected in Cheadle and smash the northern blue wall!
What a lovely evening to knock on more doors in Wavertree! Lots of productive conversations about local issues. I shall be going through the survey returns shortly ๐ถ๐งก๐
Team Liverpool were out in Offerton delivering lots of leaflets for our wonderful
@ThomasMorrison
. This evening I was in Gatley and caught this beautiful double rainbow! What a good omen ๐
A very productive final day of January in Cheadle! Hundreds of leaflets delivered followed by an excellent canvassing session! Many people fed up of the Tories and supporting
@ThomasMorrison
for real change!
I had a lovely NW Lib Dem Conference! It was great to hear from
@robherdch3
,
@RebeccaTurnerLD
and
@markpack
as well as lots of other speakers! We also finally got round to booking accommodation for York Conference in March! ๐ถ๐ถ
By the way, has anyone noticed how the Lib Dems have become completely irrelevant to anything happening in British politics?
I keep forgetting that they exist
Another lovely day of campaigning in Cheadle with
@ThomasMorrison
,
@helen_fg
, Rodrigo and Prem! Not to brag but three people I spoke to agreed to put up a garden poster! ๐ถ๐ถ
Wavertree Garden Suburb is just so beautiful ๐คฉ๐คฉ
Lots of positive conversations this evening and someone saying how impressed they are that the Lib Dems keep in touch all year round ๐ถ๐ช
Out and about in Cheadle Hulme this evening!!
Keeping our by-election friends in our thoughts, particularly
@DarrylJSmalley
โs team in Lincolnshire and
@PaulGoodwin95
in Prescot! Hoping for some good results ๐ค๐ค
The fact that the Labour Party is welcoming someone with such horrible hateful views on migration shows how devoid of principles Labour is.
Care to comment,
@LiverpoolLabour
?
Almost all Councils declared. Incredible that weโre winning more seats than the Tories. Iโm so proud to have contributed massively to three of these gains.
Also brilliant that weโre gaining seats from both the Tories and Labour ๐ถ๐ถ
Another busy day today in Cheadle! Lots of delivery rounds ticked off and a very pleasant canvassing session! Lots of people backing
@ThomasMorrison
! I even made friends with the neighbourhood cat (all the photos were blurry sadly)
Proud to have spoken at the
@StJohnsMkt
protest today to show solidarity with the traders whose livelihoods are in jeopardy, because of the despicable actions from this Labour-led Council.
The Liverpool Lib Dems will always support the traders in their fight for justice.
Out in Everton with
@Everton2Gether
! Itโs clear that Labour have been taking Everton for granted for years - people have told me they never see or hear from their Labour Cllrs.
The Lib Dems are working to change this!
@LibDems
are streaks ahead of
@UKLabour
in terms of protecting lgbt rights. it was ed davey who campaigned heavily against section 28, it was a libdem MP who first backed same-sex marriage, and itโs only the libdems who have been pro-trans rights.
Happy Pride Month!
The last Labour government did more to advance LGBT+ equality than any other in British history.
My Labour government will build on the positive legacy of the last to advance LGBT+ rights.
Very disappointed in Liberal Reform for using this kind of language. As a liberal party, we should be standing with workers and fighting for their right to fair pay and dignity at the workplace.
Liberal Reform does not speak for me.
Out in Vauxhall letting residents know about the fight to save our leisure centres!
The actions of Liverpoolโs Labour administration are disgusting and the Lib Dems will hold them to account! ๐ถ
A photo just sent to me by a resident. What will it take for Liverpool City Council to take action on dangerous selfish parking? Why is this toxic entitled culture being enabled instead of having more enforcement & wardens patrolling our streets?
So so proud of newly elected Councillors Mike Newman in Cheadle East & Cheadle Hulme North, and Dan Oliver in Offerton!!
We proved that the Lib Dems can take the fight to Labour and win ๐ถโค๏ธ
I will fight to oppose the Labour Party with every breath of my being. They are a transphobic, morally spineless, austerity-enabling pathetic excuse for an opposition. They have betrayed progressives and left people without the hope that things will be better without the Tories.
I emailed the
@LibDems
South Yorkshire mayoral candidate
@HannahK_LD
a few questions. They were polite. They did not state my views. I did this under my own name as a constituent. Her response is not democratic is it?
@JayMitchinson
I had a lovely time at Liverpool Lib Demsโ first annual dinner in 10 years! Thank you so much to
@RebeccaTurnerLD
and
@isthisisdavid
for organising, and extra big thank you to
@ThomasMorrison
and Cheadle Lib Dems for coming! ๐ถโค๏ธ
Holding the Labour administration to account for its repeated failings is not โtalking our city down.โ Opposition voices are vital for a healthy democracy. Would it be preferable to have 85 Labour Councillors?
Whilst opposition councillors consistently talk our city down,
@LiverpoolLabour
has been investing in culture and positioning our city on the global stage, despite Tory/Lib Dem cuts.
This is a fantastic achievement and says a lot about the dedication of those in the sector.
Busy day in Wavertree today! It was so lovely to meet up with residents to follow up with casework & for a chat. Then back to delivering!
Thank you to Carol for giving me a tour of the Thingwall Road tennis pavilion!
Oh well, came 4th. The Lib Dems are still being punished for putting the Tories in Government, and rightfully so.
Also, thatโs the result you get when your only platform is slinging mud.
@MetroMayorSteve
ran a positive, policy led campaign. Stomping majority ๐น
#LabourWin
Great to be out around Wavertree this morning delivering our latest
@LiverpoolLabour
leaflet.
Labour is the only party that delivers for the whole city, and not just at election time.
Lovely to be joined by
@PaulaBarkerMP
too
