Beijing’s repression doesn’t stop at Hong Kong’s borders and it has no place in the UK.

@LukeTaylorLD.bsky.social explains how the Lib Dems will protect Hong Kongers, block the CCP’s super embassy, and defend the right to live free from fear.

Well, this is fun.

A stonker of a night for us. Three huge wins, Reform nowhere near us and the Tories down to ten percent in Mel Stride’s own seat.

We are the only party taking Farage on and the only party beating him.

Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop abuse of contacts made in public office, watchdog finds Johnson found to have breached rules after refusing to answer specific questions about allegations published by the Guardian

No!

Not honest Boris!

I refuse to believe this.

It’s a witch hunt!

I had a version of this point in the first draft of the letter, but we shall save that detail for the meeting!

Alongside Lib Dem MPs, I've written to the Chief Constable of the British Transport Police over concerns about their decision not to investigate bike thefts outside of train and tube stations.
We've asked for action to ensure cyclists can park safely at stations, alongside a meeting to discuss this.

Not 'could' - it HAS decriminalised bike theft. But it's been this way for years, have y'all just not been paying attention when we've been complaining that cops won't even check security footage? BTP see cyclists as a nuisance.

Yesterday I drove to the station, left my car taking a space for 14hours, did my return intercity train, drove home.

Until yesterday, and as a direct consequence of BTPs announcement, I would have cycled.

One more car on the road, one less parking space. Multiply this out across the UK, daily

FYI @londoncycling.bsky.social @urbancyclinginstitute.org @cyclingnews.com @jeremyvine.bsky.social @chrisboardman.bsky.social and any other sensible cycling ultras…

British Transport Police's decision to not investigate bike thefts outside train stations where bikes have been left for more than two hours is really concerning. It could effectively decriminalise it.

Together with Lib Dem colleagues I've written to the BTP to get clarity.

In particular, I asked him to outline how women across London can have confidence that they are being heard and believed when they approach a police officer.

I know good work is being done, but as we've all just seen, the Met has a lot more work to do to restore the trust Londoners deserve.

Last night Commissioner Rowley came to Sutton, and I challenged him on last week's Panorama revelations.

Despite all that has been done since the Casey review - it's clear that there are still "rotten apples" in the force. I asked him to confirm how they're going to finish the job.

“Two years ago, we watched in horror those appalling scenes of Hamas’s evil terrorist attack on Israel. 1,200 innocent people brutally slain, including hundreds of young people at a music festival. Others raped, sexually assaulted and mutilated. 251 people taken hostage, ripped away from their families. “Those terror attacks also triggered a shocking rise in antisemitism here in the UK – a terrible scourge that took the lives of Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz at their synagogue last week. “We stand in solidarity with British Jews, the people of Israel and Jewish communities around the world against terrorism and against antisemitism in all its forms. “This cycle of violence has gone on for far too long, caused far too much suffering and claimed far too many innocent lives. “With new peace talks under way, we desperately hope that they will finally see the hostages returned home to their families, a lasting bilateral ceasefire, Hamas out of power in Gaza for good." Ed Davey

On Saturday I visited Asda on Sutton High Street to meet local colleagues fundraising for #AsdaTickledPink.

Since 1996, Asda working with Cancer Now and CoppaFeel! have raised over £100M for research for treatments to save lives being lost to breast cancer.

The Blue Jays are smashing it again tonight, hopefully a 2-0 lead to take to the Bronx on Tuesday night.

"People spreading antisemitic hate and inciting violence against Jews are getting away with it, and we fear the government’s approach will do nothing to tackle that while undermining the fundamental right to peaceful protest. "The Conservatives made a total mess of protest laws and left us with the worst of all worlds – wasting police time arresting people for legitimate peaceful protest, while letting others get away with inciting violence. I fear Labour seem to be following them down the same path, instead of properly reforming these powers to focus on the real criminals and hate preachers." Max Wilkinson - Home Affairs Spokesperson

Police to get broader powers to crack down on repeated protests The move is not a ban on protests but "about restrictions and conditions", Shabana Mahmood tells the BBC.

We’ve got 72 MPs and are the only party standing up to Labour who have refused to stop the two child benefit cap and the Tories and Reform who want to welcome Trump and Musk into our politics.

The country has moved on, you need to move on too…

Tonight I’ve loved watching the Toronto Blue Jays smash the NY yankees.

Living in Toronto for three seasons, 2012 to 2014 made me a passionate fan, and great to see the jays back in postseason action.

LETS GO BLUE JAYS!

An amazing Sutton Mid-Autumn Festival 2025! Thousands attended, powered by 60+ volunteers, 100~ performers, & 15 orgs.

Huge thanks to @luketaylorld.bsky.social & Cllr Barry Lewis for their inspiring speeches! And immense gratitude to key partners People Arise Now & F.C. Sutton Hongkonger.

No one cares what you think

To be clear @peterwalker99.bsky.social no one cheers an awful policy announcement that makes anyone in our community feel less welcome or at risk of deportation.

What is true is that the Tory party is dead and that the Lib Dems will always stand up for our incredible immigrant communities.

I can help you with the “The future of the Conservative Party” article…

One word:

Fin.

I agree fully with Hina on this: "the right to protest is a fundamental part of British democracy.”

It's not a surprise to see the Conservatives and Reform forget about freedom of speech when it's not speech they agree with.

Secret BBC filming exposes hidden culture of racism and misogyny inside Met Police Panorama undercover investigation captures evidence that

The attack on Jewish worshipers in Manchester is horrific.

These murders are shocking and senseless, and this incident will create fear for Jewish people across London and the UK as they mark Yom Kippur.

I send my solidarity and my love to everyone affected, and to all of our Jewish Commmunity.

Horrified and appalled by the attack outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

My thoughts are with the victims, our brave emergency services and the entire Jewish community.

I suspect we’re approaching this point, watch this space.
