Andrew Duffield meets Baroness Williams in Hexham

On her visit to the North-East today, former minister Baroness Shirley Williams, met with Andrew Duffield and Liberal Democrat supporters in Hexham. Commenting on the beauty of the Abbey and the blossom trees in the Sele, she also voiced her support for Andrew Duffield, and her delight at the progress the party was making within the region and across the country as a whole. Later in the evening Baroness Williams spoke at the Queen's Hall as part of the Hexham Book festival.

Her visit followed the third and final TV leadership debate. The performance of Nick Clegg has helped to push the Liberal Democrats into second place in the polls, closely behind the Conservatives.

Here in the Hexham constituency, with Liberal Democrat candidate Andrew Duffield increasingly closing the gap on the new Tory outsider, combined with a collapse in support for Brown's failed Labour government, the prospect of Tories losing their only seat in the region to the Liberal Democrats is becoming a real prospect.

Only the Liberal Democrats can prevent another Tory victory. A vote for Labour or one of the fringe candidates with let the Tories in again. Only the Liberal Democrats can make a REAL change in Hexham.
