Excited to announce the Liberal Democrats who will be joining the leadership team of the new Joint Administration in Southwark:
We will make our borough more affordable, greener and safer for our residents, and will create a Council that listens and that communities can shape.
Very sad to hear that Flick Rea, one of our longest-serving London councillors, has passed away aged 88. From meeting her in the 90s to my last campaign trip to Camden earlier this year, she never stopped smiling, campaigning, and being the amazing Liberal she was.
@Sam_Dumitriu As I understand it, the Greater London Authority agrees with this, and compiled quite a big pile of evidence to show it: https://t.co/1X0xCXiNAX
Horrifying news from North London. My heart goes out to the victims, their loved ones and the whole Jewish community.
Hatred like this has no place in Britain. The Government must do more to keep Jewish communities safe and confront antisemitism wherever it appears.
'We go into these elections with our tails up, I think you will be surprised how well Liberal Democrats do in London and the rest of the country,' Lib Dem leader @EdwardJDavey tells @theLDNstandard despite Green and Reform surge...

In 2018, Merton Liberal Democrats went to court to save Wimbledon police station when the Mayor of London was trying to close it. Now, both Mitcham and Wimbledon police stations are at risk once again.

No response from @ZackPolanski@GreenPartyScott to my letter last week on antisemitism concerns and now even more appalling examples from Lambeth Green candidates. I’ve written to them again today!
We must reject antisemitism and hatred and choose unity over division and hatred.
Everyone in #Southfields knows what it's like to be #DistrictLined.
After months of pushing, @FergusFoord and I are pleased that TfL finally agreed to modernise the signalling infrastructure on the Wimbledon branch.
Thank you @PaulKohlerSW19!

London Young Liberals are out in Colliers Wood today helping YL candidate George Hadjiyiannakis.
The @MertonLibDems are very close to taking control of Merton Council from Keir Starmer’s Labour. Only 18 days to go!
As we near the end of Ramadan, I want to thank everyone who is supporting Muslim communities and working for a Britain where everyone feels welcome and safe.
🚨 Former Conservative MP says “Without reform of pensions, the triple lock is also fuelling the crisis.”
The Conservatives are coming after your pensions to fund a foreign war Brits don’t want a part in.
Liberal Democrats will stand up for your granny, and international law.
Sir Keir Starmer could pay for 15 new warships or quadruple the size of the British Army by halting this year’s £18bn rise in welfare spending, analysis has shown.

This weekend police front counters across London will close to the public - PERMANENTLY!
Today I asked @MayorofLondon@SadiqKhan to rule out closing entire police stations - HE REFUSED
Are London’s police station next on the Mayor’s chopping block?
@LibDems
The Mayor & the Met had promised there would be at least one 24hr police counter in every borough.
With Merton now losing public access to both its police stations, I spoke to @BBCLondonNews about the impact on vulnerable residents.
I don't normally do Valentine's day, but I've made an exception for a good cause. I've signed The Dad Shift's Valentine's Day card to tell @biztradegovuk that two weeks' paternity leave isn't enough.
The Bakerloo Line extension & West London Orbital, will unlock homes & growth for the city.
We will back devolving powers to the Mayor to make this happen - ONLY with proper democratic scrutiny from the Assembly to match. My comments in @myldn 👇🏽 https://t.co/rOmjUBVgRR
