With both Jon Neal PPC, for Haltemprice & Howden & Denis Healy PPC for Hull North not succeeding in their attempts to oust the sitting MPs, it was very gratifying for those who worked so hard for Fred to see him win by such a huge margin.

Simon Hughes explains
Fri 14th May 2010
Many Lib Dem supporters and voters have been made dizzy by the speed of events in Parliament. It has been a big surprise not to say shock, to discover that we seem to have more in common with the Conservatives than with Labour.

"How can you possibly take on such a large financial commitment as Trident without considering the military and political implications? If fierce cuts are to be made in Britain's conventional forces, surely we have to consider whether replacing Trident can be justified. "
Sir Menzies Campbell
Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July
"With most of their leadership contenders claiming to back AV for a fairer voting system, it is astonishing they now wish to block the legislation to make that happen. Each and every Labour MP campaigned on a manifesto committing to a referendum. Now they have the opportunity to make this happen but have chosen to say no for opposition's sake. "
Simon Hughes MP
Comment on Labour's decision to oppose legislation for a referendum on the alternative vote - 28 July
