4th By-Election: A clear contest between the LiberalDemocrats and the Conservatives 

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the news that Somerton and Frome MP David Warburton has announced his resignation in The Mail+, LiberalDemocrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:

“The Conservatives have dragged our country through the gutter and taken people for granted. There is no better example of that than in Somerton and Frome. 

“Time after time the Conservatives have mired themselves in sleaze and scandal neglecting the issues that really matter to people.Then they decided it was ok to leave local people in this seat without any proper representation at all.

“This by-election will be a clear contest between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats, Labour finished third last time and are completely out of the race.   

"The people of Somerton and Frome need a local champion and they can have that at the next election by choosing our local Liberal Democrat candidate Sarah Dyke."
