Local elections are coming up in May and this is what it actually looks like on the ground:

👣 thousands of steps
📬 endless leaflets through letterboxes
🏠 doorstep conversations in all weather
💬 really listening to what people are saying - we’ve been doing this all year long, some of you might even remember us knocking on your door 👇

No scripts. No filters. Just real conversations with real people 🧡

Because local politics should be simple: show up, listen, and act.

Voting matters more than ever 🗳️
Apathy and disillusion don’t punish politicians - they punish communities. Looking at recent local elections, it’s clear that sometimes fewer than 50 votes can make all the difference.

When people stay at home, decisions still get made… just without them in the room. Do you want decisions that impact you made without your say?

If you want councillors who are visible, present, and genuinely engaged in their communities, please use your vote in May 🧡

Every vote counts. Every voice matters 🗳️✨

Canvassing in Central Southsea this evening and had my first doorstep with someone saying they’re done with Labour for branding every Palestine protester a terrorist - and I LIVE for that perspective. If you’ve studied even basic history, or know anything about ww2, you’ll know scapegoating any minority, in any context, never ends well. It spirals, and it’s always the innocent who pay.

We value genuine information, not a spun narrative designed to appease a select few before backtracking to appease others. If you want representatives who actually understand nuance, refuse to dehumanise whole groups, and choose love over hate instead of painting everyone with the same brush, the Lib Dems are your party. 🧡

Vote Kate Dorrington for Central Southsea on 7 May to ensure all voices are heard and respected! 🗳️👏

Busy week it’s been - plenty more ahead! Milton, Central Southsea & St Thomas deliveries today 🧡🤝

A quick reminder: local elections are in May. Next month!! Make your vote count. Choose the Lib Dems to keep Reform out 😌

If you look at the councils currently run by Reform and the impact their decisions have had, then compare that with the budget cuts their councillors and candidates have recently proposed here in our own city. It’s clear to see the worrying lack of consideration for our most vulnerable residents and the services our communities rely on.

Your vote really does make a difference. Let’s protect our city together 🧡

Did you know Bobby’s Lounge on Marmion Road is dog-friendly? 🐾

Great night with great people, as always🧡

If you haven’t been yet, it’s definitely worth a visit!

Spent the evening canvassing Fratton, and as always, the conversations reminded me how important it is to listen to residents. Billy is standing this May, and it’s great to see such strong support 🤝

Being part of a community means balancing different opinions, and sometimes that’s tricky but one thing is clear: residents’ voices are being heard, and every concern counts.

If you see the team out and about, please stop to chat! Your feedback drives the work of local councillors and candidates, and together we can help make Fratton a place where everyone feels safe, supported, and included 🧡

Spent the evening canvassing Baffins and many of the conversations reflected the casework we’ve been handling over the past few months. Residents spoke about ASB hotspots, pressures on families and areas that need continual attention to stay safe and welcoming.

These issues aren’t unique to Baffins, as every community faces them, but what matters is how quickly they are dealt with. Alongside local Lib Dem councillors Darren and Kadir, we are focusing on a preventative approach with targeted patrols, improved lighting where needed, strong youth provision and a clear feedback loop so residents always feel heard.

If you raised something today, we hear you and we’re on it.

👶📢 PARENTS, I REALLY WANT YOUR HONEST THOUGHTS ON THIS… 👇

Reform say they want to “support families”, but what they have publicly suggested about the two child benefit cap raises serious questions. Nigel Farage has said any lifting of the cap would apply only to British parents working full time rather than everyone with children. That would limit support to a very narrow group and leave many families out. 

That might sound simple, but real life is not.

Most families affected by the two child limit do not fit the “two full time workers” box. Many have one parent working part time because childcare costs are too high. Many juggle caring responsibilities, disabilities, zero hour contracts or irregular shifts. Many rely on some benefit support because work is not stable or full time. 

This is where the policy looks fundamentally flawed.

Not every immigrant claims benefits, which is something we should be honest about rather than generalise. Not every British parent can work 37 hours a week. And children do not choose their parents’ working patterns. Punishing children for that is harsh to say the least.

So I really want to hear from parents:

If you are on benefits, or you and your partner both work part time, do you genuinely feel voting Reform is in your family’s best interests?

Their promises on cutting taxes and supporting pubs are one thing. But without a realistic plan that helps families in the real world, lots of parents and children could still be left struggling while only a small group benefit.

It feels like a plan designed to help a few while ignoring how most families actually live.

Parents, what do you think?
