The film of the leader of Pendle Borough and Lancashire County Councils Liberal Democrat groups has been posted on social media and copies sent to the Lancashire Telegraph. Mr Whipp, standing for re-election for both authorities, defended his actions as politicians from other parties reacted to the footage. Mr Whipp said: I haven t stolen anything. A flyer was stuffed in the top of a post box blocking the opening. I removed it to put my leaflet in. The flyer was returned to the letter box and I have apologised to the householder.
