Tory attacks are they now worried ?

It was interesting somewhat to be attacked on Twitter by a couple of Tories last night about the Lib Dem fightback.

It is always the case that when we get down to work other parties become concerned. In Twerton ward we have been working hard since the election and have spoken to over 600 households since the last election many openly telling us that they regret not voting Lib Dem at the last election but will be next time.

I take comfort that this is clearly getting through to the Tories and the more they move the austerity agenda the more people will reject them and turn to the only party willing to stand up to them.

Many questions have been asked internally within the Liberal Democrats in Bath as to why we fared so badly in both the General election and the local elections.

These questions are being answered and we know exactly what happened and are putting mechanisms in place to address these issues.

The one shinning light that happened is that we gained a seat from the conservatives in Bathavon North and gained a council seat in Lambridge.

We also hold key activists and campaigners in many wards who are also working hard in their communities to help residents affected the Conservative Austerity measures.

The last majority Conservative government introduced the Poll tax that hit the poor hard as will the austerity measures that are now being put in Place. The Tories lost Bath to the Liberal Democrats then, so my message to our new MP is don't get too comfortable.

The Liberal Democrats wont be coming into the next election complacent and we will have a very strong team of candidates for the Local elections in 2019 led by a very strong Parliamentary candidate.

I wonder if this article will be attacked or criticised by the Tories if it is then it just shows how complacent they have become in just a short period of time.
