Horrified by the sickening terrorist attack in Bondi Beach. My prayers are with the families of those tragically killed.
As Jewish communities come together to celebrate Hanukkah, we must stand together against violence and hate. Light will always triumph over darkness.

Also earlier this week LGA Liberal Democrat Group Leader Joe Harris met with new Liberal Democrat Party President Josh Babarinde MP.
They discussed the huge challenges facing local government, not least the funding crisis, and the need to keep making the case for properly resourced local services.

With the peerages announced today, the Prime Minister has now added more peers than they are removing by scraping the 92 hereditary peers. We need a smaller, elected second chamber where the public, not politicians, decide who joins and who leaves. buff.ly/sxfoF5s

Enough is enough. We need to put a complete halt to new appointments until the house has been properly reformed.
