John, Jeremy Hunt is hoping that the Spring Budget this week will help gain favour with wavering Conservative voters.

And we’ve just heard that Hunt has put his hands in his own pockets to give his personal re-election campaign a £100k boost. Here’s the Guardian:

Hunt is in a dangerous position. A recent poll shows his own constituents are struggling to get a GP appointment and he’s on the brink of losing his seat.

Voters are switching to the Liberal Democrats because they are furious with the Conservatives for neglecting the NHS and driving local health services into the ground.

That’s exactly why Jeremy Hunt and the Conservatives are desperately throwing this kind of money around as a distraction.

They know the Liberal Democrats are a massive threat in their Blue Wall seats and that they can outspend us.

We need your help to make sure we have enough resources to fight back against the Conservatives' expensive campaigns and win these crucial seats.

John, we’re not going to ask you to give anything like Jeremy Hunt’s donations.

But £10, £25 or £50 could make a massive difference to our campaign - so if everybody who read this email today donated something, we could match it, and deliver crucial resources to our target seats.

Will you chip in to help us match their spending power?

Thank you for your support.

Best wishes,
