RT @RichardFoordLD: Sunshine at the County Show this afternoon with @carolinevoaden. Speaking to farmers, it’s plain that Govt’s phasing out of the Basic Payment is hurting many - particularly given higher interest rates.

For the sake of accuracy, here is a second graph which has adjusted our vote share from 33.7% to 33.4% to correct figures from one ward which were wrong in the original calculation.

Good luck to all Lib Dem friends and candidates standing for election today!
Let's hope we see a seismic change in councils up and down the country - it's time for the Conservatives to move aside.
