In February 1965 PM #HaroldWilson told his Housing Minister #RichardCrossman. "If we are going to obtain the increased housing allocation we must stop the demolishing of habitable houses and the building of luxury houses." A lesson we are still to learn!

[David Noakes 🇺🇦 💙💛 @cathedralsdavid]

It’s truly staggering that the biggest march in over a decade by progressive voters isn’t mentioned by leading members of Her Majesty’s Opposition on their twitter feeds @jeremycorbyn @johnmcdonnellMP @HackneyAbbott @EmilyThornberry @Keir_Starmer A stunning absence of leadership

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

A massive peaceful protest march took place in London today. I’ve seen no reports of violence, yobbery or arrests. This is what a mature democracy is supposed to look like.

[Bermondsey Lib Dems @Bermondsey_LDs]

This photo encapsulates the mood today as nearly 700,000 people are attending the #PeoplesVoteMarch including your Bermondsey Liberal Democrat team. People from both remain and leave camps there side by side to demand a people's vote

[Cllr Victor ChamberlaIN (he/him) @VMMChamberlain]

Loved being part of the over 600k people demanding a #PeoplesVote on the final Brexit deal at today’s #PeoplesVoteMarch - extra special as I got to march with my parents, best friend and pals from Southwark, Manchester and Ireland 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺

[Max 🇺🇦🇪🇦🇪🇺 new faces same old shit... @MaxMigliorato]

Last thought before signing off:

Can anyone remember a time before 23rd June 2016?
When the UK was a highly respected country with a leading role on the international stage and a major voice in the EU?

Things were not perfect, but I was not so anxious about the future.

Night

@cllrhumaira @WilliamHoungbo @damian_obr @EylesJE @JohnBatteson @EdMcDonagh1 Favourite tweet of the day! Councillor Ali, I look forward to seeing all the amazing things you can do.

[Southwark Lib Dems @swklibdems]

We won all three seats in the deferred election for London Bridge & West Bermondsey!
Congrats to all three top candidates!
That means that, nationwide, the @Libdems gained more seats in the 2018 local elections than Labour did!

[SE1 - @se1.news on Bluesky @se1]

The new @swklibdems councillors for London Bridge & West Bermondsey Ward @humairaali_ @WilliamHoungbo @damian_obr #le2018 #southwarkdecides

Proving they have exactly the same ‘cake and eat it’ policies as @Conservatives .... https://t.co/n6VmU6oBBX

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Today in Parliament we’re going to be voting for 👇
✔️ A strong new relationship with the Single Market
✔️ A new comprehensive UK-EU customs union
✔️ No hard border between Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland
#PMQs
#EUWithdrawalBill

[Gail Kent @libdemgail]

@UKLabour And how does that differ from the @Conservatives? Well, not at all...

[Southwark Lib Dems @swklibdems]

Tomorrow is the London Bridge & West Bermondsey council election.
All three Liberal Democrat candidates live locally, are hard working, will fight your corner and hold the Labour council to account.

[Gail Kent @libdemgail]

Very disappointed in @monzo who feel they cannot support democracy and election agents. They were a fantastic service, and I would highly recommend them, except that they want to now block the bank account I use for #localelection2018

[Gail Kent @libdemgail]

Last year’s terrorist attack was horrific. We came together as a borough and as a city. We are much stronger together. https://t.co/FEZjxp2bRv

[Southwark Lib Dems @swklibdems]

'In solidarity, remembrance and with determination that your deaths and injuries of 3rd June, 2017 will not have been in vain.'

[Southwark Lib Dems @swklibdems]

"The terrorists wished nothing but death on this place. Instead, they made us think and talk in ways that are very much alive." @AdeleLibDem

I am crying. No women should be without the right to choose and I love that these grandfathers agreed #repealthe8th https://t.co/MhFW3LMqz4

[Amee Vanderpool @girlsreallyrule]

This picture of Grandfathers supporting the women of Ireland is AMAZING. Also, I'm not crying...#repealthe8th

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Will @jeremycorbyn get behind the Lib Dem amendment to give the public the final say on the Brexit deal?

We can #ExitfromBrexit but Corbyn and Labour leadership need to stand up to the Tories.

Join our campaign today to Exit from Brexit: https://t.co/4Vy13b5NuD

[Bermondsey Lib Dems @Bermondsey_LDs]

Thanks to @vincecable @SimonHughes and @libdemgail for joining us and an ever increasing team of #LibDems who are fighting for us to win the last 3 seats in Southwark so we can be an even more effective opposition to Labour

[Gail Kent @libdemgail]

So sorry to read of Tessa Jowell’s death. She was a strong and outspoken representative of Dulwich and West Norwood for 23 years and showed that women are equals in politics. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

[Southwark Lib Dems @swklibdems]

'More of the same' hasn't worked and won't work in future.
This Thursday, you have a true alternative.
Vote for a Liberal London.
