on may 7 2015, former lib dem leader charles kennedy lost his seat to the snp. 4 weeks later he sadly passed away due to medical effects of alcoholism. just over 9 years later the lib dems have won the most seats in 100 years and have regained his seat. this is for you charlie.

I am really proud to have received the backing of VoteClimate as the strongest vote for the climate in Salisbury. The Tories have used the climate as part of their culture wars campaign, rowing back on many of their commitments to achieve a cleaner, more sustainable UK. The work to put that right begins on 5th July. You can see the reasons for VoteClimate's recommendation here: voteclimate.uk/constituencieโ€ฆ

My party, the @libdems, has a bold, ambitious, fully-costed plan to ensure we all get a fair deal. We will deliver a fair and functioning health system, ensuring you and your family can get a GP appointment within a week, or 24 hours if itโ€™s urgent. We have committed to providing free personal care for elderly and disabled people, and reforming the NHS dental contract, aiming to get NHS dentists back in Salisbury. Locally, I want to build a network of community health hubs so people can access support on their doorstep.

We need a #FairDeal for the economy which benefits everyone in the UK. To deliver this, @libdems will: - Help with the cost of living by cutting energy bills, implanting a National Food Strategy, & getting mortgage rates under control; - Investing in green infrastructure, innovation & skills; - Repair the broken relationship with Europe, which is costing the UK jobs, investment, & tax revenue; - Implement a fair tax policy which reverses tax cuts for big banks & imposes a windfall tax on the super profits of oil & gas producers. Find out more about how the Lib Dems will manage the economy in our manifesto: libdems.org.uk/manifesto

A thread: Changes in Yougov MRP data show that, as election day nears, the effect of tactical voting is becoming more significant. However, poor tactical voting recommendations could help the Tories. #tacticalvoting #MRP

The @libdems for message at #GE2024 is a fair deal for everyone. That's why it is so heartening to see such widespread public support for our policies, confirmed by recent @yougov polls. buff.ly/45HbZJu

How filthy do our rivers & beaches have to be before we say enough is enough? In 2023, @wessexwater dumped sewage in Salisbury's rivers 1,443 times -- and for a staggering 21,875 hours. ๐Ÿ˜ก This is what @libdems plan to do about it: buff.ly/4c3rIV2 #GE2024

Did you know that 76% of burglaries reported in Salisbury last year went unsolved? That's why @libdems are calling for a Burglary Response Guarantee. People deserve to feel safe in their homes and in their communities. #GE2024

Every ยฃ1 spent on free school meals for the poorest children generates ยฃ1.38 in health and earnings benefits, including improvements to childrenโ€™s health, education and future working life opportunities. This is why the @libdems' commitment to free school meals is so important. As you can hear, even my son William agrees! #GE2024 #LibDems #LiberalDemocrats #Salisbury #FreeSchoolMeals #Families #generalelection2024

This weekend I get to do the most joyful and important thing I do: being a Dad. Together, Emily and I care for our wonderful son John, who has severe physical and learning disabilities.
