Conservative local election launch: "buck stops" with Badenoch

EMBARGO: 22.30 Wednesday 19th March

Commenting on the Conservatives' local election launch tomorrow (20th March) a Liberal Democrat spokesperson said:

“The buck stops with bungling Badenoch. If she fails to deliver in the local elections, the writing will truly be on the wall for her and for the Conservative Party. 

"Whilst they compete with Reform and tilt ever further to the right, the Liberal Democrats are focused on delivering for residents on issues including the cost of living, sewage in our rivers and the emergency in our NHS and care. 

“We’re hearing on the doorsteps that people haven’t forgiven the Conservatives for all the damage they’ve done. If Kemi speaks to voters tomorrow, she will doubtless hear the same. Voters have a clear choice in May, and across the country, including in Buckinghamshire, they are turning to the Liberal Democrats as community champions who will stand up for them.

On the Conservatives and the election delays in many areas, the spokesperson added:

“Conservatives in councils such as Surrey and Hampshire asked for their elections to be delayed because they knew what the results would have been. The Conservatives are running scared of the Liberal Democrats across the country, and the Labour Government's plans mean they will be in power well beyond their sell by date.”
