It was a pleasure to welcome Sir Vince Cable to the launch of Romsey & Southampton North's election campaign this week.  

Speaking to a packed room, Sir Vince delivered an inspirational speech about the importance of this election both for our local area and the country as a whole.

There was a palpable buzz in the room with an audience that included many new Liberal Democrat supporters alongside long-standing members. I would like to extend my thanks to all supporters who attended the campaign launch and to all those lending their support in many different ways.

Over the coming weeks, I look forward to meeting local residents whilst campaigning throughout the constituency and showing you why a vote for me is a vote to protect our public services, our environment and our economy and deliver a brighter future for our great country.
