Heidi Allen standing down, Sam Gyimah to stand in Kensington
With a general election looking imminent, two of the recent joiners to the Liberal Democrats have news of their plans.
First up, Heidi Allen isn’t going to stand for re-election:
Letter to my constituents explaining why, what ever the outcome tonight, I won't be standing again to be the MP for South Cambridgeshire. https://t.co/g8zxjZD5j4

As a result, Ian Sollom is back for the Liberal Democrats:
I know this has been a really difficult decision for @heidiallen75 and one she shouldn’t have been forced to make. It’s not right for anyone to be treated this way.
But proud to be picking up the baton again as the candidate for @SCLibDems. https://t.co/D1zFFP7SWt

Second, Sam Gyimah will be standing in Kensington:
Delighted to be the @LibDems candidate for Kensington for the next GE. The community deserves better than @Conservatives pursuing a reckless hard Brexit & out of touch with modern Britain & Corbyn’s @UKLabour & their assault on property rights & pensions https://t.co/0f0N7au4bf

Thanks to @RabinaKhan for the excellent groundwork she has done in Kensington, I wish her all the best as a new special advisor to at @RichardNewby3 the @LibDem Leader in the Lords.
