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.

Fab couple of hours with Preston Lib Dem cllrs going through the 1st draft of our manifesto.

With Labour set to lose power in Preston next year & the Lib Dems being the only other party that can mathematically form a majority, it’s a very exciting time.

Change is coming.

Got out this morning to deliver some Preston Lib Dems leaflets before the heavens opened 🌧️

After all the chaos and stress of the by-election it’s time to take this fella to the beach for the first time 🏝️

I apologise now to the people of Lytham for the shouts of “Norman!!! Don’t eat that!!”

To be fair, 40% of the population of Lytham is also called Norman…might get away with it.

We did it!!!!

🔶 LD Ronan Hodgson - 659
➡️ RFM - 548
🔴 LAB - 429
⚪️ IND (Local) - 101
🔘 IND (Your Party) - 60
🔵 CON - 61

Well done Cllr Ronan Hodgson, our incredible team and those that came and helped.

That one felt good 💪

Let the eve of poll campaign begin 💪

Residents know this is a 🔶 Lib Dem Vs ➡️ Reform contest

Labour have collapsed in the polls and will finish 3rd or worse dead 🥀

Lib Dems beat Reform in the vast majority of Ashton in May. We are the only people that can stop them tomorrow.

An evening of delivery, canvassing with the team and then chilling out while the dogs fight over the same 1 toy out of the dozens available 🐕

🔶Canvassing and delivering by our team all day 🔶

I joined in late after a wonderful Sunday Roast event to raise money for the mayors charities.

Final weekend of the campaign is over 🎉

Great reception on the doors but clearly some residents have had enough 😆
