In Jacob's own words

**Jacob Sinkins** is a political researcher and former charity worker, who moved to East London from Norfolk in 2023. An experienced campaigner, with a record of delivering for communities, Jacob is ready to step up to deliver on the priorities of Limehouse locals.

As a young professional, he understands the difficulties of the housing market and the soaring cost of living. He is also determined to work with Liberal Democrat colleagues to secure stronger rights and protections for leaseholders, who have been let down by Conservative and Labour Governments.

Jacob is a keen runner, who enjoyed passing through Limehouse while completing the 2025 London Marathon. He also enjoys live music, and following his beloved Norwich City around the country.
