Liberal Democrats in the Scottish Borders have chosen Jenny Marr as their prospective parliamentary candidate.

She told the Border Telegraph:

"I’m thrilled to have been chosen to represent my home constituency. 

"Growing up in the Borders I always felt that the Liberal Democrats put my community first in everything they did and I want to bring that sort of public service and commitment back to Borders politics on the big stage and here at home. 

"On the national stage I want to be the pro-UK and pro-EU voice that reflects the dominant view here."

The Borders were once an area of strength for the Liberal Party, returning both David Steel and Archy Kirkwood to parliament.

I don't want to depress anyone, but at the last general election we finished fourth in Berwickshire, Roxburgh & Selkirk with 4.7 per cent of the vote.

The only way is up, baby.
