This week, I've been in Parliament pushing for changes to our political system, but there was still time to meet with Royal Mail about deliveries in Stockport, visit Abbeyfield House supported living and check in with Starting Point in Woodley. #LisaSmartMP #constituency #community

Canvassing with Mark Jewell this evening. This pothole is so old that the white ‘to be repaired’ lines have faded 😮 Reform are getting tetchy after being found to be utterly failing to look after Preston’s roads. Missing targets, rinsing motorists with their bus gates and putting up council tax.

The latest figures expose Reform’s failure to fix and maintain Preston’s roads. Their own data shows that fewer than 21% of potholes in Preston were filled within 20 days — against a target of 90%. In one month, that figure slumped to a disgraceful 4.6%.

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

Watched Toy Story 5 (another great 🍿) but made me guilty about not playing with my toys 😆 Outside of Conference it’s been a tough few weeks… nice to start some painting again🎨

Bill excelled in so many areas that it is difficult for any reflection to do him justice: historian, charity chairman, volunteer, councillor, election agent and marketeer—but, most importantly, a wonderful family man and a great friend.

The Preston Liberal Democrats would not be where we are today without Bill’s support, dedication and many years of service. Rest in peace, Bill. Thank you for everything.

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.

This decision will cost taxpayers money, put more financial stress on stretched council services and disgracefully turn our backs on genuine refugees. Morally bankrupt and financially dumb, Lancashire Reform in a nutshell.

Team Preston South West out canvassing again yesterday afternoon. Then a fantastic evening with Tim Farron’s staff at the Westmorland & Furness annual dinner with guest speaker Ed Davey

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 💪

2nd day of my first major #Warhammer40k tournament saw me get 2 wins out of 2 🎉 Congrats to Mani Cheema 🏆 I placed 159th out of 220+ (beaten by the players placed 56th, 80th & 121st) Brilliant weekend with top people. Thanks to the Blackpool lads for taking me under their wing.

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.

First levelling off on my weight loss. Around 3st down but nothing in the last month. Had to buy new clothes this week 👖 nice that my waist is less than my age…but that does get easier with each year 😆

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 😀
