Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Was hoping it was Southport. Come on Southport. VoteLabourOnThursday GTTO

Good lad

sistersinead Jo Swinson helped the tories get into power 10 years ago and she's doing it again with arguably more damaging results today. Respect to principled LDs fighting back.

It’s still possible to stop Boris achieving a majority tomorrow. Spread the word that people need to vote tactically. We need to pressure 3rd placed candidates to throw their support behind no. 2 party.

Why doesn’t he withdraw then? No good telling people to vote for someone else if your name is on the ballot

We need those LibDem votes to switch to Labour.

Good to see some Lib Dems can behave honestly

jmsclee What’s that pay back or just idiocy

I’ve got a lot of respect for this, a truly principled decision that puts the needs of the country first.

Time for tactical voting across the country VoteTactically TacticalVoting tacticallyvote tacticalNOTtribal

The UK has the integrity of people who understand respect and dignity. There as in the United States we can’t be held accountable for everyone’s behavior ?

Thank you.

This 👆🏽is honourable and honest. I hope there is still time to inform all LibDem voters to HoldYourNose and VoteNotTory SaveDemocracy GE2019 profhelenward OwenJones84 andy_nobes

‘No respect for other people’s votes’ Morgan tears into Lib Dem president over second votePIERS MORGAN welcomed president of the Liberal Democrats, Sal Brinton, onto Good Morning Britain where he quizzed the politician on the party’s stance on Brexit and whether she accepted it was wrong for the party to ignore the referendum result and pledge to stop Brexit. Lets be clear, it's the Tories who didn't respect the vote. In 2016 they had a majority why didn't they carry out brexit?
