Sticking to the pro-Remain message in Peterborough
Yesterday was Lambeth, today was Peterborough on the campaign trail:

It’s great to see how much Beki Sellick and the team are getting done.
The continued concentration on the Lib Dem pro-European credentials, even with a Parliamentary by-election coming up in an area with much Leave support at the referendum, makes sense given not only how many people do not yet know about them, but also where Lib Dem support is coming from:
Brexit party on one-third of European elections vote. That would be about 5 million votes in May.
Two-thirds of the Leavers (who vote in these elections)
One-third of the 17.4 million Leave 2016 votes. pic.twitter.com/Q8nTM8mzzs

It is almost as if the party is starting to build a core vote…
While I was out campaigning for the Liberal Democrats as a pro-European party, on TV one of Labour’s leading figures was repeating how Labour’s first preference is for Brexit to go ahead:
[WATCH] Corbyn ally Barry Gardiner says Labour is working with the Tories to deliver Brexit: "that's what we've been trying to do with these negotiations with the government, that's why we're there." #Ridge pic.twitter.com/FKHdPNDxyH

Labour is a party of Leave, not of Remain.
Hello also to everyone else who was also out campaigning today.

There’s a quite remarkable election opportunity ahead if we can keep this up.
And so, next week it’s Bristol.
