Liberal Democratics Party: Thirsk and Malton result is damning for Labour says Scott

"Labour has been beaten into third and proven to be way off the mark when it comes to public opinion," said the Liberal Democrat Party President.

Commenting on the Thirsk and Malton election result, Ros Scott said:

“Howard Keal and his team ran an energetic and spirited campaign for the Liberal Democrats, achieving the biggest vote increase of the night.

“The result is yet another damning indictment of Labour’s record. 

“Despite all its arrogance following the coalition, Labour has been beaten into third and proven to be way off the mark when it comes to public opinion.”
