Hi John,

We made history last night. Overturning the biggest majority at a by-election. Ever. Breaking an 100-year Conservative grasp on this constituency.

And proving we can beat the Tories in their former heartlands like no one else. The Conservatives threw their full campaigning machine at this seat - and still, we won.

Now, we’re ready to send Johnson’s Conservatives packing for good. Will you do your part and join us today?

This result is huge. I'm delighted Richard Foord will be joining us as our 14th MP. He’s going to be a brilliant local champion for the people of Devon.

And it changes the national picture, too. This is our third by-election victory against the Tories in a year. We’ve shown that the uncaring rule of Boris Johnson can end - and that a fairer, better way of life is possible.

But if we’re going to hold Tiverton & Honiton and take even more seats off the Tories at the next election, we need your support. Will you join the Liberal Democrats today?

This is a victory for all of us. But it’s a catastrophe for Boris Johnson. We've dealt a blow to his authority - just as his Government tries to side-step the cost of living crisis and roll back our hard-won human rights.

Not only that, we've shown that the Liberal Democrats are coming. We’re ready to fight for the fair deal Britain deserves.

And this is only the beginning, John. I hope you’ll join us.
