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!

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.

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.
