LIB DEM WIN!

The government has finally given in to our longstanding campaign to improve the quality of military family homes.

Our amendment to the Renters’ Rights Bill will, require the Ministry of Defence to assess service family housing and report on whether it meets the Decent Homes Standard.

Youth work changes lives, but years of funding cuts have forced many centres to close.

🌳It was a pleasure to attend The Head Gardeners Conference at The Newt, bringing together experts from across horticulture & environmental science. I’ll be pushing for stronger protection for our ancient trees & woodlands, which currently have to rely too much on landowners’ goodwill.

The rail system isn’t working for passengers. Prices are up and satisfaction is down.

Recently, I spoke to BBC Essex about Greater Anglia’s nationalisation and rising fares. Across the country, we need fair fares, simpler tickets, and better trains.

People are waiting years for mental health support but then end up in A&E in crisis.

It’s time we treat mental health as seriously as physical health.

This National Hate Crime Awareness Week, we stand together to call out hatred in all its forms - whether it is Islamophobia, antisemitism, misogyny, racism, ableism, homophobia, or transphobia. 🔽

City Hall Lib Dems statement from AMs Hina Bokhari OBE and Gareth Roberts: This National Hate Crime Awareness Week, we stand together to call out hatred in all its forms - whether it is Islamophobia, antisemitism, misogyny, racism, ableism, homophobia, or transphobia.

Hate against any group threatens all of us. Across the capital and the country, hate crime is rising. These attacks seek to divide us but they will not succeed.

As elected representatives, as Liberal Democrats, and as Londoners, we will always speak out for a city where everyone can feel safe, welcome and valued.

We stand with all victims of hate crime and we call on all Londoners to do the same. Stand up for your neighbours. Speak out against injustice. Show solidarity. Together, we are stronger. Together, we are London.

Suicide takes more than 700 lives a year in Scotland. It’s the biggest killer of men under 40. Prince William’s honesty last week mattered - showing vulnerability can save lives. Let’s keep breaking the stigma. My thoughts: www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

How Prince William's raw emotion talking to widow about husband's suicide can help break the stigma

Prince William has shown he has the personality and commitment to make a real contribution towards greater social awareness about suicide and its prevention

I'm so glad that, today, Omri Miran is finally reunited with his family.

He was taken hostage by Hamas terrorists two years ago. Rabbi Levi and the Kingston Liberal Synagogue have been praying for his safe release, and I was proud to join them. Now those prayers are answered.

Last year I met Itzik Horn, whose two sons were being held captive by Hamas. Yair was released earlier this year and today I am overjoyed that Eitan is also going home.

I cannot imagine the trauma their family has suffered, and I pray they can now start to heal and move forward.
