Responding to yet another historic by-election victory for the Liberal Democrats in Somerton and Frome, which has seen Sarah Dyke elected as an MP, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:
The Liberal Democrats are making the spectacular seem routine as we trounced the Conservatives in yet another by-election.
Conservatives on North Yorkshire Council voted to support last minute changes to plans for Harrogate Town Council. Now local residents face a lengthy delay for yet another round of consultation which will cost the council tax payer yet more.

Tom Brake, Director, Unlock Democracy writes today,
After an Environment Agency investigation found Yorkshire Water had polluted Hookstone Beck, they have agreed to pay £235,000 to the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. Lib Dems in Harrogate and Knaresborough are calling for this money to be spent in the Nidd.
In a victory rally to celebrate another stunning by-election result, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey, has demanded a general election to end the “Conservative circus.”
