Alan Kerr, Chair of South Hams Liberal Democrats, today confirmed that Dr Sarah Wollaston will be the Lib Dem candidate for Totnes constituency in the event of an early General Election.

"The party is in full general election mode and we are completing our preparations for an all-out campaign to retain this crucial seat." he said.

Supreme Court judgement rules unanimously that Boris Johnson's prorogation of Parliament was unlawful. The judgement of the 11 judges upholds the view that the PM had "improper purpose." The Government are yet again showing themselves wholly incapable of solving the Brexit crisis.

The Liberal Democrat Party Conference was like a breath of fresh air and it was lovely to be there with Caroline Voaden and Keith Smith.

It wasn't just sunshine on the outside in Bournemouth, there was genuine warmth and optimism from around the main hall, fringes and networks. I was at home amongst hundreds of first time attendees enjoying the wide ranging debates around the motions and policy ideas.

All the signs are currently showing that we are fast approaching the calling of a General Election . It appears that we have been given some breathing space as the Prime Minister continues to box himself into a corner. However, it is difficult to see how a General Election cannot take place within the foreseeable future.

Dr Sarah Wollaston, MP for Totnes, has today joined the Liberal Democrats, becoming the party's 14^th MP in the House of Commons and further strengthening the Lib Dems in their fight against Brexit.

Sarah's decision to join came after discussions with the party nationally and locally, about how best to stop the Government's disastrous No Deal Brexit strategy. She has held the Totnes seat since 2010.
