This is what we will do - stand up against those who seek to divide us, and keep Sutton united behind tolerance and equality.
In these dark times, Sutton needs a firewall against rising hate and division. We will be that firewall.

Sutton Central’s councillor Richard Choi reminded us all of the historic and moral commitment that the BNO passport scheme represents - and that Hong Kongers take seriously their role contributing to Sutton’s community as a result - including by staffing our local foodbank.

On Christmas morning 2021, Lillie Clack was hit by a drunk driver travelling up to 100mph. She died three days later.
Her family have been bravely fighting for Lillie's law, which I'm backing. It is right that we permanently revoke someone's license if found guilty of death by careless driving.

Absolutely colossal night of success for the Lib Dems.
In the 10 byelections, the LDs have gained from the CONs, GRNs, INDs and LAB, with a narrow loss to REF by 31 votes in Babergh.
Scoreboard: LD 7, REF 1, CON 1, IND 1.
I assume the media will cover this as breathlessly as every opinion poll?

The cut in the Russian oil price cap to $47.60 is just a drop in the ocean.
We need tougher action:
🚫 Ban UK imports of fuels made from Russian oil
🚫 Block UK firms from shipping/insuring Russian LNG
💰 Slash the cap to $30
Hit Putin’s war chest. Stand with Ukraine.

If we’re going to beat Putin and end the cruel war in Ukraine, then we have to hit his economy, and the funding for the war machine.
The tango clown in the White House was always going to fail, now we need real grown up sanctions in place.

I told BBCLondon I'm proud of what our flags represent & want to see more of them, but that wrapping your prejudices in a flag isn’t patriotism but nationalism.

Some thoughts on flags...
Sometimes we don’t show enough pride in our national flags, but we also need to talk about the values that they represent, and what patriotism means.
Our Union flag and English St George's Cross flag, for me, represent positive modern progressive British values.

Correct on every point. The sudden proliferation of St. George's Flags absolutely is not a simple display of patriotism. It's a demonstration of the worst, most toxic, most mindless form of hard-right nationalism: white supremacism, packaged up in red and white.
