But Helen will they win where you live?

Out campaigning in beautiful Sussex where local elections ARE now going ahead despite the local Conservatives trying to cancel them.

Like in so many areas of the country, the Tories and Labour are finished and it’s turning into a fight between the Lib Dems and Reform.

Keir Starmer abandons plans to cancel council elections: headline in The Times

A welcome u-turn from the government and a welcome change from Steve Reed's soundbite about fixing potholes being more important to people than democracy.

My motion in Parliament on Monday to kill the cancellation will now not be required!

you have missed out the County elections..

Local Elections are back on.This includes West Sussex County Council elections. We are ready. @chichesterlibdems.bsky.social

I am on Twitter for the comedy. Is that okay?

Government abandons plans to delay 30 local council elections in May – UK politics live The government was warned by its lawyers that such a move could be illegal as it pledges an additional £63m to help councils with reorganisation

BREAKING NEWS:
Elections to West Sussex County Council are confirmed to be going ahead in May 2026.
Chichester LibDems never stop campaigning, and are ready to win here again.

@matthaig.bsky.social Saw A Boy Named Christmas at Chichester Festival Theatre last sunday. A triumph by you and the theatre
Brilliantly directed by Dale. Just realized gave "The Life Impossible" to my wife for Xmas.

On Christmas Eve I wanted to send best wishes to everyone. With a special shout to residents in Chichester District.

It’s time to end the stitch-up.

The government must stop looking for excuses, stop asking the councillors beyond their mandate for permission to hold elections, and simply allow the people of Sussex to have their say.

At a time when trust in politics is already dangerously low, this further corrodes it by treating Sussex voters with contempt. It is simply unacceptable for unpopular Labour and Tory officials to collude in this way to deny the public their democratic right to vote.

The whole process has been a shambles. First, the May 2025 county elections were delayed with a promise of a new Mayor. Then, the government cancelled those Mayoral elections. Now, they are inviting the Sussex Tories to help them finish the job by 'requesting' a further delay to the county elections

Millions could see county council elections delayed again The government is expected to argue that the delay is needed because councils need more time to complete a reorganisation process.

This is a democratic farce. The government is essentially asking Conservative council leaders if they would like to grant themselves an extra year in power. It is like a teacher asking a student if they’d prefer to skip their exams because they aren’t ready.

🟢Rescue complete
Last night, in the dark, the Oyvon team rescued 27 people who were in distress on a rubber boat.

The group were in shock, and as one of them told our team, "If you hadn't rescued us, we would have died."

Thank you

The death of Dame Patricia Routledge is so sad. She has been a long time resident in Chichester and did a lot for the community. An outstanding actress who quietly gave so much back.

Delighted to attend the Goodwood Health Summit yesterday. Some inspiring ideas from excellent speakers

@simonoking How could you deliver such a disappointing forecast for the weekend. Today when I have to work.... light breeze ..... sunny (well almost). Come on where is our Indian summer?

Farron drapes himself in flag as Lib Dems seek to reclaim patriotism The Lib Dems are urged to stop being squeamish about national pride, at their annual conference.

This is how we deliver a better, hopeful future - by being proud of who we are and never giving up our identity.

In Sussex, and the whole UK, we stand for unity over division, tolerance over hate, and hope over despair.
