Richard Poole 🔶 Cannon Hill Lib Dems

Dad. Lib Dem councillor, Cannon Hill ward, Merton Council. Business Analyst. Gardener.

[Bobby Dean MP 🔶 @Bobby_Dean]

Despite local opposition and no clear need for additional capacity, the Environment Agency has approved an increase in waste processing at the Beddington incinerator.

Alongside colleagues, I have written to the Environment Secretary calling for an urgent review of the decision. You can read our letter below.

We will continue to challenge this decision and ensure that residents' voices are heard.

[Cllr Rachel Bentley 🔶 @RachelBentleyNB]

This letter is unnecessarily unpleasant, juvenile & demeans the office of MP. Sadly, it’s also unsurprising for anyone who lives in Bermondsey & Old Southwark who have come to expect very little. Do better.

[Mark Gale @MarkGale]

#RavensburyWard councillor issues a press release but forgets to mention that year on year he is picking up less votes from residents who he ignores.

2018 - 1892
2022 - 1497
2026 - 1321

It's getting warmer, earlier - and we should respond to that when we're considering how to help families keep cool on hot days

[Richard Poole 🔶 Cannon Hill Lib Dems @RichardDPoole]

When so many activities for families are too expensive at the moment, opening local paddling pools earlier, especially when the weather is so hot would make a real difference to local residents.

[Wimbledon & Merton Lib Dems🔶 @MertonLibDems]

As temperatures in London rise earlier each year, families across Merton are increasingly finding our splash pads and paddling pools closed during the hottest weeks of the year. Sign our petition to ask they are opened earlier https://t.co/7friDJnsio

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Wes Streeting's audition for PM must offer something more than the same failed red lines as Keir Starmer.

We can’t solve the cost of living crisis without repairing the damage done by the Conservative's botched Brexit deal.

Starting by negotiating a customs union with the EU.

Maybe he’s just a very strict adherent to the principle of no taxation without representation.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

The King's Speech should be a bold plan to make change happen in Britain. To end the insecurity and the chaos.

Instead we'll get the same old lines from a PM on his way out

@LibDems are the only non-populist party left standing. Join us to build our country up, not tear it down

[Anthony Fairclough 🔶 @AJ_Fairclough]

Oddly appropriate that @Keir_Starmer visits the Cherry Red Records Stadium just before his party gives him the red card.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

We all know the best way to deliver the economic growth that this country desperately needs: a closer relationship with Europe. Yet the PM's reset plan is far too unambitious.

Leading Labour leadership contenders, including Andy Burnham, Angela Rayner and Wes Streeting, should put the country first and commit to fixing our broken relationship with Europe if they enter Number 10.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

If Labour is going to spend the next few months arguing about who should be PM, they should at least agree on one thing: these damaging red lines on Europe have to go.

A customs union is vital to grow our economy and to tackle the cost-of-living crisis.

[Anthony Fairclough 🔶 @AJ_Fairclough]

Honoured to be re-elected to lead the largest ever group of Liberal Democrat councillors on Merton Council. We do this to bring change to the place we live. You don't need to be elected to do that, it's a means to an end. It gives you more opportunities, another means to campaign

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

81 years ago, people across Britain celebrated victory in Europe.

Today we remember all those who sacrificed so much for our country and our freedoms.
