Great to have such a strong team from @southwarklibdems.bsky.social at London Lib Dem Conference today, and proud to be hosting it here in Southwark.

We're here to raise awareness of Labour's unfair funding cuts to local government in London, and the urgent need for more investment in policing.

Great to see this from Councillors Victor Chamberlain and Graham Neale in #RecycleWeek2025

The top 6 councils in England for recycling are all run by the Liberal Democrats!
For #recyclingweek, Cllr Victor Chamberlain and Cllr Graham Neale visited Southwark's reuse and recycle centre to see how our waste is recycled.

Latest government stats show Southwark only recycles 30% of our waste - the top councils are Lib Dem run!

People sometimes ask: what do the Lib Dems actually stand for? Over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing what liberalism means to our councillors and activists — in their own words.

"If you want me to respect the law, then make the law respectable”

Yesterday, I joined @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social for a Q&A and viewing of Suffragette at TheArzner Cinema.

A powerful reminder of the importance of our right to protest and how we must continue to protect this right.

This is unacceptable. While across London child homelessness has been stable, under Labour in Southwark it's risen by 77%.

Labour's failure to get a grip on the housing crisis in our borough is shameful. No child should be growing up without a safe, secure home.

Southwark sees 77% rise in homeless children, report finds
There is one classroom worth of homeless children for every primary school, the report says.

Devon Mansions: 2 years late. £4 million overspent. Still unfinished.

Labour’s mismanagement has left residents in the lurch — and no one’s been held to account.

Southwark deserves better. #DevonMansions #Southwark #HousingScandal www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/news/article...
Over 900 people joined us for our biggest ever Pride in Southwark. 🌈

We marched in joy and protest – from Borough & Bankside to Budapest – for a borough that’s safe, proud & inclusive all year round.

We’re calling for Southwark to become a Trans Sanctuary Borough. 🏳️‍⚧️

#PrideInSouthwark
🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Pride in Southwark is TOMORROW!

Join the march from 12pm at the London LGBTQ+ Centre, then head to Mint Street Park (just behind Borough Tube) for an afternoon of music, performances and joy from 1pm.

I’m so proud to chair this brilliant celebration – see you there! Everyone welcome.

A powerful & moving eve at Southwark Cathedral with @eddavey.libdems.org.uk, reflecting on his experiences as a carer for his mum & son.

Proud to be part of @libdems.org.uk - a party that understands why care matters & puts compassion, dignity, & support for carers at the heart of our politics
New figures uncovered by the Lib Dem’s show that in Southwark, 6,000 people could lose their PIP payments.

This is an astonishing betrayal of disabled people in Southwark. In July's council assembly, we're giving Labour one last chance to decide who's side they are on…
🌈 Pride in Southwark is back on 28 June – and we need volunteers! Can you help marshal the march, set up in Mint Street Park, or support on the day? Sign up here 👉 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... 💛 All welcome – come celebrate with us!
Last month, the Prime Minister used worrying language - referring to an "island of strangers"

Those who've chosen to make Southwark their home are not strangers to us

We've drafted a letter to urge him to reconsider his language

Brilliant away day at LDHQ with some of our inspiring #Southwark Lib Dem councillors & candidates 🔶

We’re already working hard for local people — tackling the cost of living, fighting for safer streets, more council homes & better services.

Join us! libdems.org.uk/join-local
🟢 88% of councils back a statutory duty to act on climate change — but it must come with the powers and funding to deliver. I've been pushing for this

📣 The @LGAcomms consultation is open until 11 June. Make your voice heard.

Wishing a happy and blessed Eid Al Adha to everyone celebrating in the UK and around the world.

Proud to be by @eddavey.libdems.org.uk at #PMQs today where he pushed the Prime Minister to stand up to Donald Trump and demand the United Nations sets up for humanitarian corridors in Gaza to ensure aid gets where it’s needed.
🏳️‍🌈 Southwark is home to one of the UK’s biggest LGBTQ+ communities — but we’re still waiting for the Council to deliver the strategy we were promised. Pride is protest. We won’t stop pushing for action. 🏳️‍⚧️ #Pride2025 #Southwark #LGBTQRights #TransRightsAreHumanRights #PrideIsProtest #LGBTQStrategyNow
📮 Victory for our community! London Bridge Post Office has been saved thanks to local Lib Dem pressure. A new operator is taking over—services will continue at the same site.

We stood up, spoke out, and won. Now let’s fight to save East Dulwich too.
