Dear Reader,

I ended last year with a newsletter saying how buoyed we all were by our by-election successes. That's why I begin the new year with a plea: please find the time to get to either Stoke or Copeland (or both)! to help out. Our recent by election and council election successes have been down to the indomitable force of the Lib Dem ground campaigning machine and they now need you to dig in again. Help from home on the telephone, go and help on the ground or donate to the fighting fund, whatever you can do will help build our support, and we know there are many voters who now see the Lib Dems as the only consistent voice of opposition in this country, standing up to Mrs May's hard Brexit government so let's make sure we begin 2017 with a bang!

 Dear Reader,

This is probably the hardest newsletter I've had to write, so please forgive me if it’s a bit longer than usual.

 Dear Reader,

EU referendum: official campaign begins

Dear Reader,

I hope this month's update finds you well, and you are achieving all of your new year's resolutions with every success!

Dear Reader,

I hope this month's update finds you well, as you're cosying up in front of a log fire with a mince pie and glass of Sherry in hand recovering from the chaos of Christmas Day. I'm all brussel sprout-ed out and it feels like the perfect time to share with you some good news from this month, and to look forward to the New Year.
