LibDem Councillor - North Bermondsey. Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Southwark Council. Committed to making the world a better place 🌳Also love Parkrun, pets, planet earth & positive people 🧡🧡🧡
Phone snatching is an epidemic across London - but Southwark hosts some of the worst hotspots in the capital.
Liberal Democrats have a plan to tackle crime and ASB in Southwark - double community safety wardens, invest in CCTV, and give our young people more opportunities.
The right to a fair trial is one of our most fundamental freedoms. I’m deeply concerned by the Labour government’s plans to curtail it. It was not in Labour’s 2024 manifesto & is the wrong way to tackle court backlogs. The LibDems will always stand up for civil liberties.
Heaven forbid we have consistency in our bollards in Bermondsey 🤔😬🤔

In Southwark, diversity is our strength.
We are not an "island of strangers" as Keir Starmer claims, and we will not let Reform divide us.
Southwark Liberal Democrats are proud to have a team from all over the globe who call Southwark their home!
The last thing the UK needs just now is Tony Blair’s advice on whether to trust a US President about a Middle East war. We know how that White House movie ended.

Women are natural community leaders. Yet their representation in Local Government remains sluggishly low at just over 1/3 elected representatives.
Love it! An account I follow said stop doom-scrolling and start bloom-scrolling 🌸🌸🌸
Southwark's social housing waiting list now stands at 22,755 households. This is a direct result of Labour's housing failure
We would overhaul Labour's rotten housing department, and roll out one stop shops so issues like disrepair and damp and mould can be fixed quickly.
Long overdue good news! Repairs to the Jabez West Drinking Fountain in #Southwark Park start this month, funded by developer levies from North #Bermondsey Ward. Huge credit to Pat Kingwell & local campaigners. Delighted to back this important memorial to the area’s social history 🧡
I need to figure out how to block both sides 😬😬😬

Keep fighting the good fight!
Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital halts mass eviction after London Centric uncovered what was going on. Hundreds of Londoners now receiving bizarre door-to-door visits blaming misinformation and being asked to record videos saying they don't want to be evicted. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...
More incredible journalism from @londoncentric.media 🙏 This story is so emblematic of our utterly broken housing system - evicting tenants and putting them at risk of homelessness - to make way for more lucrative temporary accommodation. Madness 🤯
Half of calls made to Southwark's repairs line are not answered.
One of our councillors - Cllr Graham Neale in Saint George's Ward - is a tenant and was recently on hold for hours trying to resolve an urgent repair.
Wow.

I know that safe and reliable school SEND transportation is really important to many families across Southwark. Please do contribute 👇

At last week’s Education Scrutiny Commission, we heard from HATS about their role in providing transport services for children & young people in #Southwark with #SEND. Southwark Council has opened a consultation on proposed changes to the Travel Assistance Policy.
Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward
I was thinking the same. It was one of the most incredible stories I’d ever heard of human resilience and hope. So terribly sad.
“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising”

🚨 Today Al Pinkerton will introduce a 10-minute bill that calls for a UK-EU customs union.
It's time for Labour MP's to back our bill and help turbocharge our economy.
#Cycleway 4 by the #Rotherhithe Roundabout and entrance to #Southwark Park. This is dangerous.
Ken Clarke leaves religious fanatic Kruger’s Reform UK looking like total idiots. “Some resigned because they didn’t want time off work, most had no clue what councils do. They promised to cut waste and tax, then hiked it to the max. #ukpolitics
Nice and clear! Thanks to the street cleaning team for sorting 🍁🍁🍁
