Following the recent attack by vandals on the Hailsham LibDem HQ, which is still being investigated by police, local LibDem activist Steve Murphy spent many hours removing the paint and repainting the damaged parts, and has managed singlehandedly to restore the building (as pictured yesterday). Well done Steve and a huge thank you from all of us!
As detailed in a Sussex Express article today we were all shocked and saddened to hear that the Hailsham LibDem HQ was vandalised in the early hours of Sunday morning, the third such incident this year. Previously, paint was thrown at the building and the windows were also shot with a BB gun. Wealden District Councillor Neil Cleaver, who lives nearby, said he returned home late on Saturday night following a Hailsham Bonfire Society meeting. "It was close to 1am when I walked home, and I passed right by the building and it was definitely not defaced at that time," said Cllr Cleaver, who was the first to spot the damage, which consisted of red and white paint that had been thrown across the windows and walls, the next morning around 8am when he was driving past.

Members of Sussex for Europe, many of whom are also Wealden LibDems, joined the demonstrations outside the Houses of Parliament yesterday, September 4th, while the drama inside the House of Commons continued.

It's EU Elections Day today and the sun is shining so please do get out and vote! With Farage's Brexit "Party" still ahead in the polls, it's absolutely vital that Remainers and all those in favour of a People's Vote on the final deal turn out and unite to vote for the Remain Party in their region that has the best chance. In our region, the South-East, latest polls show that the LibDems are now best placed to take an extra seat from the Brexit Party and that a vote for Change UK would unfortunately be a vote wasted (they would need over 7% to get a single seat and are nowhere near that).
