Let the eve of poll campaign begin ๐Ÿ’ช

Residents know this is a ๐Ÿ”ถ Lib Dem Vs โžก๏ธ Reform contest

Labour have collapsed in the polls and will finish 3rd or worse dead ๐Ÿฅ€

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 ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ and take power from them ๐Ÿ’ช

Reform cancels new Preston High School ๐Ÿ˜ก

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.

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.
