“The Liberal Democrats are the strongest Remain party as proven by the recent local and European elections.

“Myself and my party will never stop campaigning to do what’s best for our residents and that means fighting to stop Brexit.”

Standing as a candidate for the seat in Preston, Coun Neil Darby said: “If you want Britain to have a People’s Vote and if you want a party that will wholehearted campaign to remain in the EU then you need to join our campaign and vote Liberal Democrat.”
