@RichmondNubNews The elephant in the room is that is a Low Traffic Neighbourhood proposal

Where car-hating Cllr @Gareth_Roberts_ wants to ban most cars from using Richmond Bridge. This promises gridlock on the A316, causing congestion across SW London

@munirawilson @LibDems LibDem water minister during the coalition was Dan Rogerson, when he lost his seat in the 2015 General Election he became a water company boss

@TRLibDems Why should people vote for Michael Wilson when he has such a "low attendence" record

@TRLibDems

[Matt Gilbert @mjgilbert1986]

@twickenham_fox @munirawilson @LibDems Conservative pressure is exactly why the Government has moved. Labour resisted a clear under-16 social media restriction for months, but ministers have now accepted age or functionality restrictions. Claiming Conservatives “went home” is spin, not scrutiny.

[Matt Gilbert @mjgilbert1986]

@TRLibDems Thats one massive blot on the landscape.

Your party cannot be trusted to look after local character and ensure new development adds rather than subtracts from neighbourhoods.

“You’re more likely to lose your job to someone who is using AI, than to AI itself...”

Rishi Sunak speaks to @faisalislam about how AI could impact jobs, with the former PM saying the “best protection” is to have a “competence and confidence using these new tools.”

@TRLibDems Careful with money - pull the other one @Gareth_Roberts_

[Matt Gilbert @mjgilbert1986]

@TRLibDems Rubbish you did nothing to challange the reduciton in the grant.

Thats because you are Labour in yellow rossetts

[Matt Gilbert @mjgilbert1986]

@RichmondNubNews Good!

The council does not appear to have followed a proper procurement process. The "scrutiny" meeting where Cllr Ehmann was trying to extract commercially sensitive information in public - could well unravvel the whole process.

@TRLibDems Even with Jim's skills as a professional actor, he can't bluff his way out of the fact he compeltely failed in his role as housing lead

@TRLibDems Average age 70

[Camilla Tominey @CamillaTominey]

Utterly ridiculous - give this hero his job back!

@twickenham_fox @TRLibDems @Gareth_Roberts_ @LibDems @twickenhamclp In the abscence of any councillors outside of the joint ticket - they pushed though a massive increase in payments to senior councillors

from £268,960 in 2024 to £439,498 in 2025

Having no opposition is clearly very expensive for council taxpayers

[Matt Gilbert @mjgilbert1986]

@JamesHenryChard @andree_frieze @limebike @LBRUT Filthy lucre has trumped the environment again in
@LibDems controlled Richmond

There is word for that:

[Matt Gilbert @mjgilbert1986]

@munirawilson @thameswater @EdwardJDavey @sarahjolney1 This scheme has only come about due the @LibDems opposing the alternative schemes such a resevoir in Abingdon.

As ever the @LibDems are having it both ways

[Matt Gilbert @mjgilbert1986]

@LBRUT @Gareth_Roberts_ @JimMillardld The Twickenham Riverside vanity project is a disaster 🚨

❌ Years late
❌ Tens of millions over budget
❌ No real benefit for local residents

Another Liberal Democrat white elephant dressed up as “regeneration.”

[Matt Gilbert @mjgilbert1986]

@SurreyHeathLDs @LibDems @EdwardJDavey The only flag the @LibDem are patriotic towards

[Matt Gilbert @mjgilbert1986]

@liberal_reform The Liberal Democrats are back to being to the left of Labour, as they were when Tony Blair was in Government

[Matt Gilbert @mjgilbert1986]

@JamesHenryChard People have a legitimate concern about undocumented asylum seekers, as there have been high-profile cases of them being sex offenders. The invited Ukrainians were vetted before they came here.
