What an incredible start to the campaign. Our dedicated volunteers have
already reached hundreds of thousands of voters by knocking on doors or
delivering leaflets nationwide.

your part and making a difference.

At this once in a generation election, we can elect many hardworking Liberal

remove this out of touch Conservative Government!

We’ve got off to a phenomenal start, but we must keep working hard from now
until polling day on Thursday 4th July.

Week 1 Roundup


Our highlights from the first week on the campaign trail


Campaign launch


The campaign started with a bang on Sunday as Ed launched our national
campaign in Cambridgeshire. Surrounded by supporters and showered by gold
confetti, Ed unveiled Yellow Hammer 1, the Lib Dem battle bus.

Saving the NHS


At the launch, Ed pledged that a vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote to
save the NHS. People are waiting hours for ambulances, weeks for GP
appointments, and months for cancer treatment - our field teams are telling us
it’s consistently the top issue coming up on the doorstep.

We’ve also announced our GP Guarantee plan to hire 8,000 more GPs over five
years, ensuring patients can see their GP within seven days, or 24 hours if
urgent.

Ending sewage dumping


On Tuesday, Ed visited Lake Windermere to highlight the environmental
devastation caused by sewage dumping. The Conservatives have allowed water
companies to pollute our precious waters, including at this idyllic spot.

In contrast, we will hold water companies to account. This week, we pledged
to place environmental experts on all water company boards, as part of our plan
to end sewage dumping for good.

Backing British farming


Empowering rural communities was key to Ed’s message in Wales and Somerset.

British farmers have faced years of Conservative neglect and it’s time they
got the respect and support they deserve.

Our fair deal for farmers includes a £1 billion boost to the farming budget
and fixing botched trade deals.

Children's mental health


Childhood should be a time of happiness and new experiences, just as Ed
enjoyed on the slip ‘n’ slide on Thursday.

But many children are being held back by poor mental health.

That’s why we’re calling for a mental health professional in every primary
and secondary school, funded by tripling the tax on social media giants.

Free school meals


At the end of week one, Ed promoted free school meals while baking with local
school children.

Free school meals save parents money, boost healthy eating and support
children's learning.

We will extend free school meals to all primary school children, beginning
with all primary and secondary school children in poverty, funded by a 4% levy
on the share buybacks of FTSE 100 companies.
