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.

Nice bit of delivering today in Preston South West. Then something strange happened…it started raining 🌧️
I disgraced myself, my club and my family 😂 Not my #warhammer40k day today. No wins but a fun way to spend a Sunday.
Anniversary gift from the in-laws. Very appropriate given the weather ☀️ 🍨
Wedding anniversary this weekend. It’s been a rough 11 years 🤣
Morning delivery 📬 Makerfield election expenses submitted 📑 In Wigan style pick up a pie on the way home 🥧 Another #warhammer40000 model painted 🎨 Chill out with the dogs 🐕
A bit warm but there is always time for a bit of Lib Dem delivery 📬
2026 sunflowers 🌻 enjoying this weather. Longer stakes already
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 😆
Happy birthday 90th birthday to one of the absolute best…former Cadley councillor and Preston Alderman Alan Hackett 🎂
Couple of hours of delivery in Preston South West. Fly tipping on Cannon Hill reported. Nice to see Powis Road surface getting some work being done 🚧
They’ve been half complete for a long time but my Aggressors are finally done 🎨 #imperialfist #warhammer
Absolutely extraordinary story from the Sunday Times that is going to be very hard for Farage to deflect. "Nigel Farage secretly funded by convicted criminal" www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
Revealed: Nigel Farage secretly funded by convicted criminal

Digital pitch adverts on the rugby are horrendous. Makes the game look like a bad computer game. @itvx.com
Fantastic turn out to see and celebrate the anniversary parade for Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment 🦁 Lions of England: “Difficulties be Damned”
Narrow 8pt defeat last night against a spicy Necron (Take and Hold) army. Probably the most enjoyable game of #warhammer40000 #40K yet. Went right down to the wire #imperialfists 7 weeks to my first ever GT tournament 😮
In London again for a few days. Staying in Croyden for work.
I was only gone 20mins!!!! Norman the naughty Labrador
Lots of Preston Lib Dems out delivering our latest newsletter this morning.
With local council reorganisation around the corner and elections for the new authority happening next year I’m happy to have been selected alongside Cllr Mark Jewell and Cllr Ronan Hodgson to be the Lib Dem candidates for Preston South West.
