Lib Dem MP Sarah Teather
Steven Gauge, Lib Dem London Assembly Spokesman, has expressed delight at the party's success in the Brent East by-election. The Lib Dem candidate, Sarah Teather, leapfrogged the Labour and Tory candidates to take the seat.
Steven commented:
"This is a stunning result for us. We have not just beaten the Labour candidate but also pushed the Tories from second to third place - proving how irrelevant they are today. No seats are safe from us with this kind of swing and we will be eyeing up the Croydon seats very closing at the next General Election."
"Sarah will make a first class MP. What a message to Blair this result is."
