My message to Labour voters living in Lib Dem/Tory marginal seats.

Your vote can stop Boris Johnson on December 12th - but only if you vote tactically.

I have been a Labour supporter all my life. I worked alongside Tony Blair in three election victories, and was Director of Communications under the last Labour Government. I worked for Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband in their campaigns. I will be voting Labour this time too, because where I live they are best placed to beat the Tories.

So what are the tactical voting site recommendations for the Buckingham constituency?

Jon Worth in his 2019 UK General Election Tactical Voting Guide recommend a vote for the Lib Dems' Stephen Dorrell, as the candidate best placed to defeat the Brexit-supporting Tory here.

The site tactical.vote lists the five principal sites, and where there is a clear recommendation it is for our candidate Stephen Dorrell. Two sites, People's Vote and Best for Britain, opt for Stephen.

Britain's transport systems are broken. Away from the major commuter routes, buses, trams and trains are so infrequent and expensive that cars are essentially made a necessity.

This in turn has made air pollution - mostly caused by cars - one of the biggest causes of preventable illness in the UK, causing at least 40,000 premature deaths a year and costing the NHS £15 billion.
