Paul Lorber for Brent West

Paul Lorber was born in Czechoslovakia and came to the UK at the age of 13 after the Russian invasion of his country in 1968. He has lived in Brent since 1969 – first in Willesden and then in Sudbury and North Wembley.

Paul attended Kilburn High School and Manchester University and later qualified as an accountant. He is now a full time volunteer helping to run Barham Community Library.

Paul was elected as one of the first Liberals on Brent Council in 1982. When the Liberal Democrats gained the largest number of Councillors in Brent in 2006, Paul became Leader of Brent Council – a position he held for 4 years.

After a gap of 8 years, Paul was re-elected to Brent Council in 2022, topping the poll in Sudbury ward.

Paul brings with him many years of local service for the people of Brent including a remarkable 30 years of service as a school governor at Barham Primary School in Wembley.

As part of his election campaign, Paul will be highlighting the need for improvements to NHS services, including easier access to GPs and dentists, investment in local education and truly affordable homes, and a fairer tax system which supports pensioners and people on low incomes.

“We are proud to support Jonny Singh as the candidate to be the Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Brent East. Jonny has the energy and commitment to work extremely hard for local people and stand up for their demands for a fair deal. As a Brent resident, he will always put the interests of local people first”.

Commenting on Paul Lorber’s candidacy, the Chair of Brent Liberal Democrats Virginia Bonham Carter said:

“We are delighted to support Paul Lorber as the candidate to be the Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Brent West. Paul is an amazing campaigner who has for decades worked extremely hard for local people. As a Bent resident, he will always put the interests of local people first”.
