The scrapping of the Garden Bridge is brilliant news for the people of Vauxhall and south London. The project was one of the most irresponsible wastes of public money we have seen for some years.

George Turner has called on voters to show they are opposed to the Government’s hard Brexit with their vote at the ballot box on June 8.

The candidate for Vauxhall co-signed a letter to The Guardian with fellow London Lib Dems standing in the general election and London Assembly member Caroline Pidgeon, saying the only way to oppose hard Brexit is to vote for him.

Vauxhall's sitting Labour MP Kate Hoey is top of a hitlist of Brexit-backing MPs being targeted by pro-EU campaign groups. 

Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron chose Vauxhall to announce the party's membership had surged past 100,000.

The campaign starts now to make George Turner Vauxhall's next MP.
