Cllr Victor Chamberlain

Imagine being turned away from a bathroom, hospital, or cinema for “not looking female enough”. The leaked EHRC guidance could do just that. Along with my Lib Dem colleagues, I’ve written to the Minister calling for new, inclusive, practical guidance that protects everyone’s rights.

Thank you @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social for joining a packed Lewisham @libdems.org.uk AGM last night 🧡

Positive politics continues in South East London heading into May’s massive council elections 🔶

@southwarklibdems.bsky.social

Fantastic result! @joshbabarinde.bsky.social is an absolute star, and I know will help the Lib Dems reach even more people, and achieve more success as a party, especially in Labour-facing areas. The @southwarklibdems.bsky.social are really looking forward to working with you, Josh. Congratulations!

Thanks to @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social and Liberal Democrat team on the LGA Neighbourhoods Committee, for continuing to push for a statutory duty for councils on climate change and funding and resources needed to deliver real climate action for and in our communities

This week I took a walk around Southwark with the police and fantastic local Lib Dem team - including @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social

We are absolutely clear across London - the Govt and Mayor must give the Met the funding they need to keep stations open, recruit more officers, and keep us all safe.

Earlier in Westminster Hall I spoke on the need to build the next generation of green, affordable, safe homes for Londoners - and to end the broken leasehold system altogether.

Today's announcement on housing targets in London is infuriating.

The Mayor and Govt are effectively handing developers a get-out, and Londoners on waiting lists across our city will suffer.

This will not solve our housing crisis.

Great to have such a strong team from @southwarklibdems.bsky.social at London Lib Dem Conference today, and proud to be hosting it here in Southwark.

We're here to raise awareness of Labour's unfair funding cuts to local government in London, and the urgent need for more investment in policing.

Great to see this from Councillors Victor Chamberlain and Graham Neale in #RecycleWeek2025

The top 6 councils in England for recycling are all run by the Liberal Democrats!

For #recyclingweek, Cllr Victor Chamberlain and Cllr Graham Neale visited Southwark's reuse and recycle centre to see how our waste is recycled.

Latest government stats show Southwark only recycles 30% of our waste - the top councils are Lib Dem run!

People sometimes ask: what do the Lib Dems actually stand for? Over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing what liberalism means to our councillors and activists — in their own words.

Yesterday, I joined @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social for a Q&A and viewing of Suffragette at TheArzner Cinema.

A powerful reminder of the importance of our right to protest and how we must continue to protect this right.

Southwark sees 77% rise in homeless children, report finds There is one classroom worth of homeless children for every primary school, the report says.

This is unacceptable. While across London child homelessness has been stable, under Labour in Southwark it's risen by 77%.

Labour's failure to get a grip on the housing crisis in our borough is shameful. No child should be growing up without a safe, secure home.

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...

Over 900 people joined us for our biggest ever Pride in Southwark. 🌈

We marched in joy and protest – from Borough & Bankside to Budapest – for a borough that’s safe, proud & inclusive all year round.

We’re calling for Southwark to become a Trans Sanctuary Borough. 🏳️‍⚧️

#PrideInSouthwark

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Pride in Southwark is TOMORROW!

Join the march from 12pm at the London LGBTQ+ Centre, then head to Mint Street Park (just behind Borough Tube) for an afternoon of music, performances and joy from 1pm.

I’m so proud to chair this brilliant celebration – see you there! Everyone welcome.

Here is the single thing Labour can do to see off Reform and make British politics work | Will Hayward Farage’s party could win 42% of Commons seats with only 26% of the vote. That’s not the way civilised countries do democracy, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward

Once again @willhaycardiff.bsky.social comes up with the goods:

A powerful & moving eve at Southwark Cathedral with @eddavey.libdems.org.uk, reflecting on his experiences as a carer for his mum & son.

Proud to be part of @libdems.org.uk - a party that understands why care matters & puts compassion, dignity, & support for carers at the heart of our politics

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…

Last month, the Prime Minister used worrying language - referring to an "island of strangers"

Those who've chosen to make Southwark their home are not strangers to us

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

🟢 88% of councils back a statutory duty to act on climate change — but it must come with the powers and funding to deliver. I've been pushing for this

📣 The @LGAcomms consultation is open until 11 June. Make your voice heard.
