Their candidate Nigel is a 4 time election loser who nobody outside the LibDem campaign office has heard of! There is hardly a mention of him on LibDem voice.

They pile money on their candidate, see the odds drop, then put out a release to show “campaign momentum”. Given that the Tories and Lib Dems are slugging it out for the infamous by-election bandwagon, they might both be piling on the cash though. Could be very funny.
