Cllr Scott Emery 🔶

Three new members, a bunch of new volunteers and hundreds of doors knocked.

I'd say that's a successful day for the Stroud green team! 🔶🔶🔶

UK ready to spend frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine loan Sir Keir co-signed a joint E3 statement with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron

This is something we as Liberal Democrats have long called for. Those who wage illegal wars must face the consequences. I'm proud to see this principle become policy.

In saying that we are going to need biofuel for a fair few applications, we can't go without it

Conservatives would scrap stamp duty, Kemi Badenoch announces The Tory leader says the move would help millions buy a home, in her annual conference speech.

She seems to think that stamp duty, a tax that's only levied on homes that cost more than £300,000, is the reason that young people aren't buying homes

...I think she needs to speak to the average young person in this country

Trans people are seeing fewer and fewer spaces remain open to them.

Please support their right to exist fully and freely in our society, and urge the City of London to stand with them.

Would also recommend VistaVision!

Surely the key thing is that they are non-compulsory

Lib Dem conference isn't all policy papers

Farron. Patriots love their country. Nationalists hate their neighbours.

My speech given at Liberal Democrat conference in Bournemouth on a motion on adult education

I wanted to open up about my own difficult, personal story and how I became a Liberal Democrat

I’ve written to Ofcom urging them to review the BBC’s coverage of Nigel Farage and Reform to see if it is line with broadcast guidance.

The disproportionate coverage of Farage is damaging to the BBC’s reputation as well as our democracy.

The real reason London pubs are putting service charges on pints Plus: Preposterous London property of the week, Lime insists its e-bikes don't pose a threat to your legs, and Transport for London pays for 24/7 security to keep the homeless away from Park Lane.

This is the direct impact of tip culture on British wages

We don't want to move towards an American model, where a large proportion of earnings come from precarious sources

Tips given for good service, rather than automatically, are the way to avoid this

Kudas was the best player on the pitch in my opinion. Strong, held up play and fought hard

Spent the afternoon supporting Janet Grauberg with her by-election in West Hampstead.

Great to be out with a group of friends while on the doors. Always fun!

Louis Rees-Zammit: Why is NFL transition so hard to accomplish? As Louis Rees-Zammit becomes the latest 'crossover athlete' unable to make the NFL transition, BBC Sport looks at why it's so hard to break through.

Odd article. It stresses how hard the swap is, yet loads of people have made the swap to NFL.

Doing the same in football or tennis in your 20s would be near impossible

Last week, I thanked the Latin American community of Haringey for the vital role they play in shaping the vibrant, diverse borough we’re proud to call home

It’s essential that the Council not only supports this community but also works to revive cherished cultural events like the Tottenham Carnival

Young liberals' concerns over the online safety bill

It was never about protecting the young for Labour. With the convenient excuse of online safety, this government has restricted access to: footage from protests across the UK footage from Gaza, Ukraine and many more zones of atrocity support forums for sexual assault victims and LGBT+ activism Discord, Reddit, Wikipedia and many more sites of social discussion All in under 24 hours OfCom's unchecked power to dictate what is "harmful" risks silencing dissent and chilling open discourse, particularly for those who dare to challenge the status quo.

We are concerned that this is an effort to gain control over what we say, what we see, and how we think, given that this government has repeatedly shown a lack of respect for freedom of speech, expression, and protest. Who will stop them if they come for encryption and VPNs? Who will protect our sensitive data in the hands of private companies? Therefore, we, the Young Liberals, strongly encourage our federal party to speak against this draconian attack on free speech and society under the guise of online safety.

The Highgate Society gardening team and I recently planted some beautiful flowers here.

With this heat, the last thing we want is for them to wither, so I'm spending the afternoon giving them some much-needed care!

Couple's plea to stem 'dangerous' leak left unfixed for almost a decade A couple have pleaded with authorities to stem a “dangerous” leak outside their Highgate home in Priory Gardens which has been left unfixed for…

Glad to see this story get some attention. The resident has been through hell trying to get someone to take ownership of the problem

Hopefully the council and Thames can come to the table and finally fix the leak

Just cycled a few minutes up the road to the shops and managed to get brushed by a wing mirror and a car turned right, straight through my lane, while making eye contact with me.

We have a long way to go for safe cycling in this country

Oh no, reaping what you sow

About an hour left to go! 🚴

Should this lab-grown burger really be served in restaurants? Lab-grown beef, chicken and even quail are served in restaurants in some countries around the world - and now some cultivated meats could soon be sold in the UK too

We’re already far behind where we need to be on climate action, we simply can’t afford to rule out any solutions.

It’s deeply frustrating that, yet again, British political gridlock is standing in the way of real improvements

Spurs handed fine over homophobic chants about Mikel Arteta during Man Utd win The Premier League club have been fined for chants from their supporters during a victory last season against Manchester United

Correct decision. I know any fan caught would have been banned so I hope the club went to some efforts to find them

Possibly the most homophobic part of mainstream society still left, a long way to go
