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...

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…

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

📮 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.

Labour are crumbling under pressure and finally U-turning on one of their first mistakes they made in Government - cutting the Winter Fuel Allowance.
We need an apology from Keir Starmer, and every Southwark Labour politician who has been backing his every move

Today is both my birthday and IDAHOBIT.
Three years ago, I stood in Southwark Council and called for trans rights. I still am.
This week, I challenged Southwark’s MPs to condemn the PM’s dangerous migration rhetoric.
Diversity is our strength. We must reject division and fight back against hate.

Despite 15,000 in Southwark set to be affected by Labour's callous welfare cuts, not one of our 5 Labour MPs covering Southwark have openly committed to opposing them.

Lib Dems have always fought to put mental health on the same par as physical health
In March, the Govt confirmed that the proportion of spend on mental health will drop - but we will continue to fight to end mental health injustice

Great team out in South Bermondsey yesterday sharing our survey with hundreds of residents.
One big issue: fly-tipping.
Southwark one of the worst in London last year, yet only 2.6% of cases led to fines. Nearly £1m spent clearing it up.
