Bye bye for now X. There are still rare nuggets of gold amongst the dross and I’ll miss you. I’ll be back when the current owner has left reception with his kitchen sink. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Here are our local @LibDems winners… I don’t do nearly as much as many activists, but one thing I have done over the years is take a few of the campaign photos.

Hurrah. For only the second time in my life, I’m not represented by a Tory. Congratulations @BrianMathew4NW on your win. Oh and delighted for Anna in Frome and my (current) county councillor, @SarahGibsonLD on your brilliant wins.
