Lib Dems choose Sophie Bridger for Inverclyde

Picture of me explaing something. Sophie is on the arm of the chair

Congratulation to my friend Sophie Bridger who today has been announced as the Liberal Democrat candidate to fight the Inverclyde by election. Sophie is the current President of Liberal Youth Scotland and like her predecessors is a strong voice not just for student issues but Liberal values.

I last saw Sophie on Friday at the funeral of Andrew Reeves the Scottish Director of Campaigns. With Andrew's invovlemnt both with campaigns and Liberal Youth he would be enthusiastically looking forward to, scrap that he'd already be throwing himself into, helping Sophie fight this campaign. He'd be delighted that one of the LYS mob was taking on the challenge.

With a by election pending I promised last Friday to give some time to come over to campaign for whoever was selected. I'm trying to sort out a few things over the next few days to free up some time to make it over to Scotland next week to help Sophie and the team.
