In the Greater Manchester town where a Conservative MP and a Labour-run council lock horns, national politics is still at the forefront of people's minds.
The MP for Leigh, James Grundy, is infamously the first in history to turn the town blue after almost a century of red domination. However, this landmark win for the Conservatives, which came at the 2019 general election, has not since translated into local council gains. In fact, the last election saw them lose their leader, Michael Winstanley, from his seat in Orrell.
The historic coal mining and factory town broke tradition and voted for Mr Grundy almost four years ago, but now mistrust in the Government sitting in Downing Street could mean trouble for local Tories, residents have said.
