We hope to see you then!

☎ Not got elections in your patch next Thursday? Or otherwise not able to get out on the doorsteps on the day? You can still help by signing up for our Maraphone, 10am-10pm on Thursday making phone calls direct to our supporters in some of the most marginal wards in the whole country.

Don't worry if you have not done much - or any - telephoning for us before, or are not familiar with Connect (our campaign software). Experts will be on hand to help you through every step of the way.

Whether it's taking part for a long stretch or just popping in for a brief burst of phoning, it all adds up.

Legendary

journalist, John Sweeney, has had a long and sometimes controversial career

working for the BBC, the Observer newspaper, LBC and currently the Byline

Times and Byline TV. He’s also written several books, both fiction

and non-fiction. At the BBC he worked for long stints on both Panorama

and Newsnight, during which he was often in ‘hot water’ and real personal

danger. Amongst a host of other actions, he’s investigated Scientology; exposed

‘cot death syndrome’ wherein three mothers were wrongfully imprisoned for

killing their own children; confronted extreme right wing activist Tommy

Robinson. Perhaps most pertinent to the current world situation, he’s personally

questioned Putin and uncovered Russian corruption, interference in elections

and war crimes in Ukraine. He’s explored links between Trump associates and

Russian officials and spies.

Come

and hear all about it from the man himself... and don’t be afraid to ask a

question!

Got a problem or an issue - come and talk to us at our regular surgery at Jesmond Library. Find out more about our local campaigns to improve Jesmond.

Come and meet Chris and Jolyon, your

local councillors. 

Come and talk to Chris and Jolyon, who are interested in talking with

you. They are able to help with a wide variety of local issues you might be

having. If they can't fix something they will do their best to point you in the

right direction.

As part of their commitment to listening to and working with local residents, Tim Prater and Gary Fuller, Lib Dem District Councillors for Sandgate and West Folkestone, hold regular drop-in advice surgeries in the ward each month.

No need for an appointment - just turn up to discuss any issue you would like our help with. The surgeries are in a public place: if you'd prefer to speak to Tim or Gary one-to-one then please contact them directly and we can set up a personal meeting with you.

The surgeries are held:

• The first Saturday of each month from 11-12.30pm at Sandgate Farmers Market in the Chichester Hall, 70 Sandgate High Street, Sandgate, Folkestone CT20 3AR;

Come and meet your local councillor. 

Cllr Harry Boparai is here to help you with

any issues that you might be having.  He will do his best to be of

assistance where we can, or at least help point you in the right direction.

We are delighted to be holding a Special Training and Information Day for all first-timers, and novices with Party President and Member of the House of Lords - Dr Mark Pack.

In the morning we will hear from Mark, and former Kingston Councillor, Sam Foulder-Hughes, about the absolute basics of getting involved with the Lib Dems, doorstep canvassing, having conversations with residents/voters, how to canvass, the technology we use, and lots more.

Following a break for lunch (included), we will then practise what we have learned and head out for group canvassing in the afternoon, led in small teams/pairs by experienced canvassers and campaigners.

This is a great opportunity for those that have never been involved in campaigning before, or still feel like they are learning the ropes to come and learn from some of the party's leading campaigning experts on the how's and why's of what we do.

This session would be particularly useful for anyone that is interested in being a council candidate in the 2026 local elections, or helping to support the team get elected.

And of course more experienced campaigners are encouraged to join too so they can learn more about best practise.
