Well done Cllr Ronan Hodgson, our incredible team and those that came and helped.
That one felt good ๐ช
Let the eve of poll campaign begin ๐ช
Residents know this is a ๐ถ Lib Dem Vs โก๏ธ Reform contest
Labour have collapsed in the polls and will finish 3rd or worse dead ๐ฅ
Lib Dems beat Reform in the vast majority of Ashton in May. We are the only people that can stop them tomorrow.
If you are going to campaign, you might as well advertise it.

Great canvass session, lots of support to give us a momentum boost heading into the final weekend.

Only way to stop Reform is to beat them at the ballot box ๐ณ๏ธ and take power from them ๐ช
๐ถAnother canvass session done tonight๐ถ
Even better, the Stop Reform tactical voting site is backing our candidate Ronan to keep Reform out.

The photo of me outside county hall was just after I heard the news. I was so gutted & angry for my residents, I had to go for a walk for an hour.
If Reform think the Lib Dems & I are ever going to stop fighting them on this they have another thing coming.
Doing some delivery before heading to Birmingham for a filming gig tomorrow ๐ฅ

Another day, another great by-election canvass session with some of the Preston Lib Dem team.
Incredible to see how far the Tories & Labour have fallen in this ward
Morning delivery round done ๐ฌ
Would be rude to not stop by the legendary Deanโs for something afterwards ๐ฅง ๐ฐ
Back from conference yesterday night and straight out canvassing today in the Ashton ward by-election today.
Big thanks to @timfarron.bsky.social for joining us.

Incredible place
Do you believe ALL bus gates are good? Surely you can understand that schemes that are badly thought out actually damage the cause we both share.
Not to mention the businesses that have been hurt and closed down because of this one.
