4 years ago today I was on the front cover of the Lancashire Post as part of the Lib Dem campaign to get new schools built in Preston.

A few months later in 2022, I proposed a budget amendment to fund the new high school build.

Another narrow victory (by 2pts) for my Imperial Fists Space Marines.

Still making newbie mistakes but a fab game with Bailey. Ended up with just 4 models on the table in total ☠️

My Land Raider tank once again got destroyed without firing a shot 🤣

Nice to get out and some canvassing in the South Ribble by-election. Loads of appreciation for the decades of hard work by the local Lib Dem Focus team 🔶

Fab night out with university friends (24 years and still going strong)

After 8hrs of fun and good times I got a tap on the shoulder “Are you the leader of the Lib Dems?” - slightly nervous after belting out Teenage Dirtbag in Hopwoods 🤣

Final council meeting of the year is done…luckily I have a pallet full of new Focus leaflets to keep the team and I busy over the Xmas period 😆 👣 📬

📰 Personal News 📰

Delighted to say that in the New Year I’ll be starting a new job as the Lib Dem North West Campaign Manager for HQ.

Really excited for the opportunity to work alongside our incredible MPs, councillors and local parties to win more seats and grow our party across the region.

Out and about in sunny South Ribble doing my bit in the Broad Oak by-election.

Where are the Borthwick haters now? 12-0 down to come back and win comfortably

My friend Kate recommended this artisan chocolate 🍫 maker in Manchester…Dormouse Chocolates

Wow…so rich but much more bitter than most

Had the privilege of hearing Flower of Scotland at Murrayfield, always awesome.

Come on Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

120 years and they have never beat the All Blacks. Got a feeling, today might be the day.

Had to nip to the shops so put a loud film on for the dogs…Tron Legacy. Came back to the bar scene 🎬

Forgot what what an awesome soundtrack Daft Punk did on it 🎵

I always pause before sharing images like this one from Reform because I know a lot of their political strategy is using bigotry to seek attention.

This is so belatedly anti-Semitic and racist it’s difficult to believe someone would design this, edit it, caption it and post it in 2025.

Nice to head up to Cumbria to visit my dad and his giant rescue 65kg Newfoundland dog Yogi today 🐶

Rocket and Norman 🐕 loved running around the garden and nearby woods 🌳

Ireland vs All Blacks has been a rubbish game. Ireland have been so scruffy

Brilliant display by England against a very good Aussie team. We never looked like we would lose.
