Just how happy should the Lib Dems be?

Welcome to the latest episode of Never Mind The Bar Charts, in which Stephen Tall and I pick over the 2019 local election results to see how happy the Liberal Democrats should be. We also take a bit of a look forward to the European elections, discuss the use of 'bollocks' (complete with Ofcom guidance) and consider the overall pace of the Liberal Democrat recovery. Show notes 704! The coalition didn't irredeemably damage the Lib Dem brand: the evidence. Not Enough Champagne: the centre-left podcast we praise during the show. John Curtice's analysis of the Lib Dem local election performance versus the Remain/Leave balance of an area. How rude is 'bollocks'? The official Ofcom guidance. How effective is 'bollocks'? It fits with this wise advice.
