let's talk about the lib dems, one of their candidates, tim walker, in canterbury, has stepped asideainer counted, rosie duffield. it's interesting, the local arrangements, because there seems to be some animosity on a national level betweenjo swinson and jeremy corbyn. at a local level, it seems that some liberal democrats are deciding to pull back and not stand where rival candidates are seen as very pro stand where rival candidates are seen as very pro remain. tim walker in canterbury has reached that decision as the lib dems candidate, he does not want to threaten rosie duffield, a labour mp but a prominent remainer on spin majority. if he stood, there is a —— on the thin majority. if he stood, there is afair thin majority. if he stood, there is a fair chance he could split the remainer vote. the lib dems still wa nts to remainer vote. the lib dems still wants to stand there candidate despite mr walker's decision. and in david gauke's constituency, lib dems have said they will stand as well because they have a hard line stance on brexit, they will not back off in constituencies w
