Congratulations to Helen Morgan on her stunning success in the North Shropshire Parliamentary by-election.
The Liberal Democrats have declared 'the party is over' for Boris Johnson after their sensational by-election win in North Shropshire on Thursday.
In 2021, the winter solstice for the Northern Hemisphere happens on December 21 at 15.58 GMT. The longest night of the year is a significant turning point. Astronomical winter begins and the days gradually get longer again.
Christmas came early for the country and the Liberal Democrats with a win in the North Shropshire byelection. An excellent local candidate, Helen Morgan, won with a 34% swing. The last time the Liberal Democrats gained two Conservative seats in parliamentary byelections in the same year was back in 1993. For the record, the last time Liberal Democrats came from 3rd or worse to win was in 1981.
Local MP Tim Farron will run every day next month to raise money for South Lakes mental health charity Wave Forward.
