Lord Bonkers' Diary: The mint cake workers of Kendal

Lord Bonkers looks at the Liberal Democrats' prospects in a number of seats at the next general election. Today...

Westmorland and Lonsdale

Some readers, I know, are anxious about the forthcoming election, so let me begin with a seat where we can look forward to it with every confidence. Whilst I suspect Farron of wanting to rip the pews out at St Asquith’s and having everyone sing ‘Shine, Jesus, Shine’ as soon as my back is turned, he remains extraordinarily popular in the Lakes, enjoying a particular following amongst the mint cake workers of Kendal.

A definite Liberal Democrat hold here.

Lord Bonkers was Liberal MP for Rutland South-West, 1906-10.
