Preston council budget today. As expected Labour voted down our superb amendment.
Hopefully the last Preston budget with Labour having a majority. Labour are almost certain to lose overall control of the council in May.
Only my brilliant Lib Dem team can mathematically overtake them.

Great to be in Cyncoed supporting @rodneyberman.bsky.social who is standing as the @libdems.org.uk candidate in Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf. In the next election, we need an MS with experience of local government and the health service, someone who understands our community and will stand up for us

Very sad news that Jim Wallace, Scotland's inaugural Deputy First Minister, has died suddenly. Not only did he lead his party into government for the first time in decades, but he held down the fort after the death and resignation of the first two First Ministers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
