[Sarah Olney @sarahjolney1]

Thank you to everyone in Richmond Park who put their faith in me yesterday and to all those who helped make my campaign possible.

It is the greatest honour of my life to serve our community and I will spend every day of the next 5 years fighting to ensure your voice is heard.

“Years of Conservative Party economic vandalism” have led us here, says @sarahjolney1.

She calls on the new government “to properly invest in the organisation” to “break this cycle of decline”

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

It is heartwarming to see so many people of all backgrounds and all walks of life standing peacefully together in solidarity against racism, Islamophobia and violence.

We are indebted to our brave police officers who put themselves in harm’s way to keep our communities safe.

Under the last Conservative Government, Thames Water was allowed to get away with dumping filthy sewage into our rivers. It is therefore welcome that they are finally being held to account.

We must now see a ban on bonuses and an end to huge profits for offending water companies

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Thames, Yorkshire and Northumbrian Water face £168m fines over sewage spills

@KingstonReside @ContactKingston I have been providing updates to concerned residents by email - you can contact me on [email protected]. Please contact the police directly to report any criminal or anti-social behaviour.

Very pleased to meet with @networkrail and @TfL earlier today.

The Richmond branch of the District line has been a constant issue for residents and visitors recently and I’ve urged their teams to do everything they can to improve service.

'The Chancellor should look at ways of providing a little bit of extra support'

Sarah Olney from the Liberal Democrats spoke to #BBCBreakfast after the Chancellor announced winter fuel payments will now be means tested for millions of pensioners in England and Wales

The Conservatives left our economy on life support.

That's why the Liberal Democrats are urging the Government to invest in healthcare, in GPs, dentists and hospitals to kickstart the economy after years of chaos.

[Sarah Olney @sarahjolney1]

Good to speak to @itvnews about the Chancellor's upcoming announcements.

The Conservatives wrecked the economy, but now we need to see Labour create a new plan to bring NHS waiting lists down and get our country growing.

[Patrick Gilbert @PatrickwGilbert]

Waiting for the Lib Dem team boat to come past any moment now #OpeningCeremony

[Sarah Olney @sarahjolney1]

Great to see the designs for the new Kingfisher Leisure Centre today.

Their team are on track to break ground in the spring of next year and the work can’t begin soon enough.

[Standard News @standardnews]

Repeated closures on the Richmond branch of the District line have heaped misery on commuters and tourists trying to reach Kew Gardens, the local MP has complained https://t.co/YVDBW7Oa7d

[Sarah Olney @sarahjolney1]

Over the next five years, the Liberal Democrats will be pushing Labour to get our country back on track.

It's not enough for Keir Starmer to be better than the Conservatives, he needs to deliver real change for local communities across the country.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Andrea is one of tens of thousands of carers hit by unfair repayment demands from the DWP, for going just a few pounds over an arbitrary earnings limit.

Today I asked the Prime Minister to meet with me and other family carers to discuss how to resolve this scandal.

[Sarah Olney @sarahjolney1]

Great to visit @DCMS and speak to @RhonddaBryant about the need to protect creators from data mining by AI developers.

Musicians, writers, artists, and other creatives should have control over how and when their work is used.

[Sarah Olney @sarahjolney1]

While reforms in Whitehall are welcome, Labour need to focus on growing our economy from the bottom up.

In my response to the King's Speech yesterday, I urged the Government to focus on supporting local communities and small businesses to put us back on the right track.

[Munira Wilson 🇺🇦 @munirawilson]

When the general election was called, the decision on whether to approve @thameswater’s Teddington DRA was sitting on the previous Environment Secretary’s desk. I and @sarahjolney1 have written to new Environment Secretary @SteveReedMP to discuss our concerns with him.

[Sarah Olney @sarahjolney1]

The Richmond branch of the District Line has failed repeatedly over the past few weeks leaving many residents and visitors stranded.

Last week, @Gareth_Roberts_ and I wrote to Sadiq Khan asking him for his assistance getting the line back in working order.

[Sarah Olney @sarahjolney1]

Having an amazing time at the North Kingston Dragon Boat Race. Thousands being raised for local charities and everyone enjoying the party atmosphere.

There’s even a team of Oompa Loompas racing for Fern Hill Primary!

[Sarah Olney @sarahjolney1]

Good to speak to @SW_Help's team today about the recent renovations to Barnes Bridge Station and the removal of the bike ramp.

I'm pleased to hear work is already being done to find a replacement ramp which will ensure cyclists can once again access the station.
