Getting my steps in this morning in Ashton 📬 Lots of rumours about council reorganising (LGR) swirling around…luckily our leaflet says the Govt might change the minds from week to week 🤷🏻‍♂️

Reform in Lancashire pull out of the Govt funded refugee resettlement scheme. This will cost taxpayer more and change nothing. This is typical of Reform in Lancashire; concentrating on empty gestures despite the real life consequences hurting the people in Lancashire.

Getting my steps in in between the rain 🌧️ Delighted by how the North Lancs areas have come together. Thousands of doors knocked on in August 🚪leaflets & surveys being done The 2027 locals will be the biggest in decades & the Lib Dems in North Lancashire are going to give it everything we’ve got 💪

New experience today…taking part in a ‘Super Major’ #Warhammer tournament. 200+ players including some of the best in the world. Did not think I would be doing this when I got into the hobby last year. Really brilliant & friendly opponents. 3 games today and 2 tomorrow.

Fantastic weekend action day in the Cottam area of Preston West. Hundreds of doors knocked on. Loads of positive feedback from residents about our campaigns and hard work. Lack of new schools came up on just about every door.

Getting back into the #warhammer hobby had been such a fantastic thing for me. Loads of fun, new friends, great stress reliever and I’ve also got to enjoy being creative and crafty. Some recycled polystyrene sheets and I’ve created a giant imperial bridge as a huge battlefield centre piece 😀

Liberal Democrat Councillor Jack Singh was not even sure that he was the first Sikh councillor until people made sure he was aware. Messages came in from parents, family, and from very far afield on the day of the election... www.blogpreston.co.uk/2026/07/the-...

The ‘fence-sitting’ Lib Dems have Preston’s first Sikh councillor – what do they prioritise before the council is abolished?
Have the Lib Dems plateaued? And can a party modelling itself on being sensible grow in 2026 politics?

Excellent canvassing session in Preston South West 👋 Loads of support for the local Lib Dems 🔶 Reform poor performance in Lancashire and their national scandals is showing in their support ⬇️ Nearly everyone knew about the change in councils 🏛️

Fantastic event tonight Lib Dems from Cumbria as well as the three North Lancashire local parties of Preston, Ribble Vallay and Lancaster & Morecambe. Money raised, enthusiasm topped up and everyone excited for what we might achieve.

Farage is a spoilt little posh boy who has spat his dummy out because he was going to be found guilty of being the grifter that everyone knows he is. Always plays the victim but like most bullies he’s actually a spineless coward. He can get in the bin 🗑️ after hopefully losing to a bin 😆
