‘It won’t be Tim Farron!’ Conservative MP RIDICULES Lib Dems General Election chances

Tania Mathias mocked Tim Farron’s chances of winning the General Election on June 8 and pleaded with voters to support Theresa May. 

The Twickenham MP told voters that if they vote for the Liberal Democrats, they could risk electing the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. 

Speaking on Sunday Politics London, the Conservative politician dealt a crushing blow to Mr Farron. 

She said: “The simple fact is, Number 10 Downing Street on June 9, is either Theresa May walking in there, or it’s Jeremy Corbyn.

“That’s the risk, it’s not going to be Tim Farron, and that’s the reality.

“I appreciate your point, but for people here, I want them to realise the vote is critical.”

The Conservative MP faces competition from Sir Vince Cable in Twickenham, after the Liberal Democrat lost his seat in the 2015 General Election. 

Twickenham, like the majority of Greater London, voted to Remain in the EU referendum last June, which could see support for the Lib Dems who are promising another Brexit vote for Britons.

Speaking to voters on the doorstep, Ms Mathias urged people to trust the Prime Minister or risk ending up with a Labour government. 

She added: “I do believe if I am part of the team, part of the party in power, I will represent our interests well. 

“Without me you have someone on the opposition benches, that person won’t be heard.”

Speaking to Andrew Marr on Sunday, Tim Farron insisted the Lib Dems are the only real opposition to the Conservatives. 

He said: “I think people around the country are beginning to realise is a Conservative majority are not in question but a Conservative landslide means they will take you for granted wherever you live. 

“I think the most important thing for any leader is clarity. Clarity number one is to be honest with you and everybody else. 

“We all know it’s the truth – the Prime Minister is heading for a colossal coronation on June 8. Let’s not pretend there is going to be any hung-parliament anyway.

“She expects all the people to turn up in their Sunday best and wave a flag – that is not how democracy works. We are determined to turn the coronation she expects into a contest that Britain desperately needs.”
