Good morning John,

This has been an astonishing set of results for the Liberal Democrats - we’ve played our part in delivering a historic defeat to the Conservative Party.

The Liberal Democrats are back as a major force in British politics.

Our incredible, positive General Election campaign has delivered our best result in the history of our party, electing local champions across the country who will fight for the Fair Deal you and your community deserve.

We could not have done this without our dedicated members and supporters – thank you.

We'll be analysing the full results over the coming days, but here's an upate on where we are as of 8:30am, with just a handful of seats left to be declared.

Congratulations to our elected MPs and their teams, and a huge thank you to everybody who stepped up and stood for our party.

And to everybody who helped our campaign in any way - thank you for everything you did to help make these incredible results happen.

Best wishes,
