Like the rest of the country, people in Somerton and Frome are suffering under this government, and they want change
Nineteen thousand. That was the size of the Conservative majority in Somerton and Frome before Thursday’s byelection. Not only did our brilliant Liberal Democrat candidate, Sarah Dyke, overturn it, she won with a thumping 11,000 majority of her own.
It’s one of the biggest swings in British political history, and a testament to the brilliance of our crack Lib-Dem campaign team, which has now pulled off four incredible byelection victories in just over two years.
