CARL CASHMAN, born on this date, is an English-French politician. He serves as leader of the opposition in Liverpool City Council, representing the Church ward. He is the leader of the Liberal Democrats in Liverpool, and led the party’s chapter in Knowsley.

Cashman was first elected as a councillor in 2016, for Prescot North in Prescot. He became councillor for the Church ward in 2023. The ward includes areas of Mossley Hill, Wavertree, and Childwall, notably including Liverpool Blue Coat School, Picton Clock Tower, Wavertree Lock-up, King David High School, and Penny Lane. Since local councillors are unpaid, Cashman works as a mortgage broker.

Not surprisingly, Cashman received media attention for his appearance, and was dubbed ‘Britain’s sexiest politician’. No argument here. He was the subject of an American right-wing Twitter discussion garnering millions of views, wrongly calling him ‘Conservative Chad’. Cashman responded in an interview with The Tab, saying: “If it strengthens the liberal cause, and puts the lens on my city and its incredibly good looking population, then I’ll take that. As for calling me a normie Conservative Chad, I couldn’t be further from that. I’m what he would call a lefty liberal, his worst nightmare!“

Atta boy! 

Cashman is popular in the LGBTQ community for his defense of gay rights. He was interviewed on his personal life and politics by drag queen Tiara Skye in Soho.
