Labour a disaster for Southwark, Greens terrible in Boroughs they run! The Orginal Environmental Party @libdems.org.uk

Oh my what a Schlapp in the face this is

Important thread

The official list came out this morning. I know I am in, as is my candidate. I am a local champion who actually lives in the Ward he wants to represent. And unlike others who panicked to get candidates at the last minute, we have been out talking to people since last year! #hackbridge #sutton

Good luck Tom and Brendan 🔶

What I am standing for...

We have a plan, and we need you to implement it! #voteLibDem #LoveSutton #SuttonLibDems #LocalElections

On 7th May, Sutton will either be run by a Conservative-Reform coalition of chaos or a Liberal Democrat administration that brings the values and vision of this manifesto to life, just as we have done so many times before.

Now, more than ever, Sutton needs a Council that combines experience with vision. Central to all of our aims are our seven key pledges, which together represent the key steps we will take to keep Sutton moving forward.

BREAKING! Today we're launching 'Keep Sutton Moving Forward', our manifesto for the 2026 local elections. It showcases the bold, ambitious and vibrant ideas that the Liberal Democrats stand ready to deliver to deliver the brightest possible future for our borough. suttonlibdems.org.uk/manifesto

Important to share - Reform like to hide the dark stuff. It is why they are so keen on getting rid of the #ECHR which will not be accepted by nationalists in Northern Ireland.

Farage's Reform has pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters - handing power to bad bosses and rogue landlords.

BIG NEWS: The superb St Helier East team pledge to keep fighting for you! On May 7th, back: 🔶 Paul Cole 🔶 Gemma Munday to make sure St Helier East keeps its hardworking team of Lib Dem local champions! Find out more: suttonlibdems.org.uk/she

Interest rates are looking like they are giving to go up 4 times because of Trump's war in Iran. Looks like I won't be buying a 2 bed house with a garden any time soon. Thanks Trump.

Doing things the hard way! #cpfc

*CONFIRMED* your brilliant local Lib Dem team for Beddington... 🔶 Sue Ebanks 🔶 Chante O'Shaughnessy 🔶 Rob Leah Beddington deserves hardworking local champions representing it on the Council, and Sue, Chante and Rob fit that bill perfectly.

🔶 MORE GREAT CANDIDATES 🔶 Tom Foster and Dr Brendan Hudson are the superb local champions fighting for you in Hackbridge! They've got both the experience and positive approach it takes to stand up for local people and fight for the best possible future for the area.

You may be inclined to amplify Joe Kent right now because of concerns over the Iran war. Don’t. He’s an extremist with deep ties to Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers who never should have been in this role in the first place (sadly one of many in this administration). 1/

Brilliant game of Cricket. Obviously come on England but brilliant advert for the Sport #IndEng #t20WorldCup

I hear Trump is not happy with the UK. As a UK citizen, there is no greater badge of honour. And about time. @joncooper-us.bsky.social

Lead Member for Resources Sunita Gordon introduced the budget by highlighting the values we have always taken to Sutton's finances - prudence, fairness and long term thinking.

Leader of the Council Barry Lewis spoke about our bold, ambitious vision for a borough where we continue to support the most vulnerable and foster opportunity for everybody.

Sutton North's Cllr Ruth Dombey reminded us of our strong track record of not just managing our finances prudently but ensuring that we continue to provide great services focused on empowering people.

Cllr Jake Short spoke about our efforts to protect Sutton's families from changes to the cost of living support on offer - and how we're taking bold decisive action to make sure support continues to get to those who need it.

Cllr Luke Taylor MP spoke about the importance of stepping up and having the courage to deliver a serious, ambitious plan for the future. Whilst the other parties sit on the sidelines and criticise, we always rise to meet the moment.

Cllr Marian James spoke movingly on the importance of protecting and enhancing our charity, community and faith sector. It supports local wellbeing, makes a huge difference in people's lives, and ultimately makes financial sense.

And Cllr Gemma Munday spoke about the incredible work the Council has done to protect children and boost children's services - for the benefit of families and young people across the borough. As she says - very little else could be as powerful a reminder of our values in action.

The elections in May are a clear choice between our positive vision of the future, or division and chaos with the Conservatives and Reform. Read more about that positive vision here: www.suttonlibdems.org.uk/news/article...

Tonight, we have passed a budget that delivers Sutton's future. Despite these uncertain economic times, the Sutton Lib Dems are always the ones fighting for the very best for Sutton.

Also, turning it in mute. The commentator's are awful and so biased for the big 6 again. @skysportpl.bsky.social #cpfc

Typical United. Cheats #cpfc

@gilesyl14.bsky.social since you tipped me well last time (surprised actually we won against Wolves) I'll return the favour: Mostar are 10/1 on Paddy Power as of yesterday to go through. Not win (which is 20/1), go through. #cpfc

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

Thankful I am no longer on X the way it is at the moment. Do miss Beakys tweets though! #cpfc

Here's a list of all the places Trump is building concentration camps to brutalize non-white men, women, and kids—including many in the US legally and some who are citizens. Most will be sent to die in places they've never been to or to be tortured by Trump pals. # = Prisoners.

Matt Weston - Sports personality of the year. Calling it now.

2024 Reform UK voters are also less likely to describe themselves as anti-Russia (48%) than other voters (66-79%) yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

🔴 NEW POD 🔵 The latest episode of the Team Called Palace podcast is out now! 🎙️ Matt and his guest hosts dissect Palace's defeat to Burnley, before turning their attentions to Zrinjski Mostar (a) & Wolves (h). 🤓 #CPFC 🔴 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... 🔵 open.spotify.com/episode/5jHV...

It takes skill to f**k up a 2 goal lead against Burnley. At Home. In 5 minutes. Skill that not many teams possess. #cpfc

The FBI Director's girlfriend, who gets unlawful protection from FBI SWAT teams, is calling to "unite the right." Is she also endorsing murdering women with cars?

My hunch on #Starmer : he will survive until Mays Local Elections and, if results are as expected, resign. There may have been an agreement with candidates to replace him, like Streeting that this will be the case now. It doesn't suit any party in labour (Sanwar excluded) to come in now.

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow. How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?
