Cllr Mark Merryweather: Is Surrey reorganising - or passing the buck? Surrey County Council has been playing a dangerous game with its finances — and local residents could be left to pay the price.

'The warning signs are plain. Woking collapsed under £1.2 billion of Conservative debt after years of reckless decisions. Surrey’s Conservative leadership insists it is “resilient” despite criticism from its own auditors... the parallels are hard to ignore.' 😐

And local delicacies are always on the menu! 😋

The political rally at Casemates Square is hosted by HM Gibraltar Government & includes guests from overseas - this year MP Edward Morello represented the @libdems.org.uk as part of the invited cross-party delegation. 3

Gibraltarians celebrate in different ways, but most commonly they will dress in red and white, or red white and blue, and gather at Casemates Square before moving on to a variety of activities across Gibraltar, some might opt for a more chilled out gathering at the beach with family & friends. 2

Conservative MPs jeered when I urged the Prime Minister to help end the starvation and suffering in Gaza. Sickening, but they won’t stop me raising this.

Netanyahu’s plan to occupy Gaza is abhorrent and it's increasingly clear that his goal is ethnic cleansing.

The UK can't just sit on its hands. The Prime Minister must stop all arms exports to Israel and sanction Netanyahu and his cabinet.

A newspaper article graphic from the Financial Times with the headline saying: Thames Water boss keeps bonus despite missing target after restatement.

It’s outrageous that water company executives are pocketing excessive bonuses while families face soaring bills and our rivers are choked with pollution.

Liberal Democrats will keep fighting for a stronger regulator with teeth that puts the public and environment first.

Well done, Lionesses ✊ ⚽ You've done England proud ❤️
