The botched Brexit deal dreamt up by the Farage and delivered by the Conservatives has brought nothing but red-tape and economic misery.

The government must now deliver their promised “EU-reset” - starting with a new UK-EU Customs Union.

So proud of my son and his team for winning their first football match over the weekend. It’s their second season together and they had lost every game up to now. It meant so much to them, like they won the cup final.
I will always remember this 🥲

Happy Friday night!
My monthly update is a bit late this month - been mad busy at work.
Here’s a little summary for anyone interested in what I did for Cambridge Ward in September.

I support this statement from @seftoncouncil.bsky.social and stand in solidarity with our Jewish community following this horrific act of terror. My thoughts are with all those affected.

Played football with my mates tonight and was asked if I went to Lib Dem conference. This is not normal. Ed Davey is cutting through.

Final push to get our Cambridge Ward Focus leaflet delivered before the NHS consultation closes on 3rd October. We want to see Children’s A&E return to Southport.
If you want to join the Cambridge Ward Liberal Democrat Focus team, get in touch. Together we can make a difference.

Tell One Vision to Cut The Grass!

One Vision Housing has scrapped the gardening service which was provided free of charge to older and disabled residents with no family or friends to help. Disgusting!

You can add your name to the petition using the form below.

Just to add. The heat pump repairs are rarely on our own installations and are often on older models. Here is one of ours with a live monitoring package and you can see the house is 22c.
As long as you’re within 30 mins of Southport we will fix your heating, any make or model of boiler or heat pump.

Mad busy but happy doing what I do best. Our engineers are installing a heat pump in Southport and I’ve been getting everyone’s heating going for the winter.
Finished last heat pump repair at 9pm tonight. On Monday I fixed a heat pump 5 or 6 engineers tried to before me and I sorted it in an hour.

Last week Sefton Council voted against asking One Vision Housing to reinstate the gardening service at these bungalows for elderly and disabled residents.

But that didn’t stop me getting them some help as a temporary solution. Thanks to Parrydise Gardens, Jillian is now delighted with her garden.

Just a couple of minor improvements to report:
A resident asked for the bin to be replaced outside Fleetwood Rd park just a few weeks ago. Cambridge Ward councillors have covered this through ward funds.

I reported a large pothole on Radnor Dive.
Thanks to Sefton Council staff for sorting.

Lib Dem Treasury Spokesperson @libdemdaisy.bsky.social spot on again. The employers’ National Insurance hike has been one of the most damaging economic policies in recent memory.
We’re seeing fewer jobs, more shops, bars and restaurants closing, and the cost of living continues to rise.

Great to see Merseyside Police at CEF Southport’s trade day this week showing how forensic marking can help tackle tool theft.
Thank you to CEF and to Merseyside Police for their efforts on this important issue.
Next week I am bringing the debate to Council.

I am relieved that Southport pier appears to be okay after a small fire last night. Thank you to Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service for a fast reaction to save it.

Hopefully the next news we hear on the Pier will be the funding confirmed and a date to start the long-term repair.

I got BT to clean up the phone box on Manchester Rd. Just wanted to do a favour for the businesses as it wasn’t fair on them having this filthy thing outside.
I have also asked about getting it replaced which I am discussing the Council and fellow Cambridge Ward councillors.

It was an honour to cut the ribbon alongside Abi for the reopening of Sandpipers. It was such an emotional and happy day. You have to meet these wonderful people to see how much it means. Thank you to everyone who canpaigned for respite care in Southport and around the country ♥️

Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Baltic Way, when 2 million people joined hands across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in a powerful stand for freedom and independence, and against Soviet occupation. A historic moment of unity and resilience! 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 #BalticWay36

Russia is blatantly committing war crimes doing double tap strikes on Ukrainian emergency service vehicles, and some people think Putin is coming to negotiate in good faith with Trump.
Nothing good will come of this Alaska meeting, it’s all for show.

I agree with these words. I don’t think it’s wise for the police to announce the ethnicity of the suspect every time there is a high profile case. A dangerous step for society to take.

Family of Southport stabbing victim criticise plan to reveal ethnicity of suspects

Exclusive: Michael Weston King, grandfather of Bebe King, warns government against ‘kowtowing to the likes of Farage’ The family of Bebe King, one of the three girls killed in the Southport attack last year, have urged ministers to reconsider their support for disclosing the ethnicity of serious crime suspects, saying this information is “completely irrelevant” and that “the propensity to commit crime happens in any ethnicity, nationality or race”. Bebe was six when she was murdered by 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, a Welsh-born black Briton from a Christian family who had lived in the local area for a number of years. Continue reading...

Congratulations to everyone who got their exam results today. Remember they don’t define the rest of your life!

Cllr Mike Sammon @mikesammon.bsky.social · Aug 13

A brilliant letter by Together With Refugees. I wholeheartedly agree.
I am not impressed by the recent rhetoric from certain politicians on immigration and the divisive politics that it brings.
We must start making the positive case for immigration and never give up on those in need.
