Campbell races north ahead of by-election photo finish

Ming Campbell campaigning with Willie Rennie in Dunfermline
Sir Menzies Campbell MP, acting leader of the Liberal Democrats, joined the party’s by-election candidate Willie Rennie on the doorsteps of Dunfermline and West Fife this evening as the Lib Dems continue to close the gap on Labour.

The party leader flew north following Prime Minister’s Questions to help drive home the message that only a handful of votes currently separate Willie Rennie and Labour.

Speaking this evening, Sir Menzies said:

It’s going to be very close between Willie Rennie and Labour in the Dunfermline and West Fife by-election.

Many people have told the Lib Dem campaign team that they feel let down and taken for granted by Labour and I think that the voters will make their views known at the polls.

Willie Rennie is an excellent local choice and I look forward to the prospect of welcoming him to the Liberal Democrat team at Westminster.
