The Times are attempting to migrate their entire stable of journalists en masse to Bluesky.

It was a delight to head to Malden Road in Cheam and see the newly refurbished and under new management Prince of Wales pub! They've done a fantastic job with the remodel - and the formal relaunch event is tonight, complete with a DJ, Drag Queen and their lovely new Outside Bar - get down there!

The NICE guidelines for Chronic UTI patients urgently needs to change, CUTI patients shouldn't be forced to live in constant pain. My latest column in the Sutton Guardian below: www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/2605206...

Great to see this coverage of the cross-party efforts led by me and @allisongardner.bsky.social to give Chronic UTI sufferers the voice they have been denied for so long. inews.co.uk/news/health/...

This epidemic of antisemitic violence in North London must be stamped out. My statement on today's heartbreaking news in full:

It's disturbing to see that @croydongreens.bsky.social are delivering a leaflet in Crystal Palace promoting their suspended candidate Mark Adderley. Is he suspended or not? He will be on the ballot paper as a @londongreenparty.bsky.social candidate, so it's important that local residents know.

… but the credibility of the prediction is perhaps undermined by the fact that the Newham results looked uncannily accurately like the results from 2022. And that the Camden wards were entirely unfamiliar. The Lib Dems had won a seven-member ward called ‘Colin’ for instance…

A small number of Lords are blocking the assisted dying bill from completing its parliamentary journey. The Bill has had a huge amount of scrutiny in the Commons (more than any Government bill) but those opposed in principle are using procedural tactics to block it.

As I told The Standard yesterday, if Reform are the party for London Mums, then I'm the Queen of Sheba. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Yesterday I presented a petition on behalf of over 100 constituents in Sutton, Cheam and Worcester Park calling on the Government to pass the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.

Happy St George’s Day to everyone in Sutton, Cheam, Worcester Park and across England!

This forecast is about vote share by borough - which unintentionally favours Labour. With any significant degree of anti Labour tactical voting, this turns into a catastrophe for them.

Everyone should be able to go about their lives and practise religion freely without fear. Recent events make that feel especially important. @camdenlibdems.bsky.social statement sets out how we stand firmly against all forms of hate, including antisemitism. www.camdenlibdems.org.uk/news/article...

Whatever the outcome of the Mandelson scandal, it has exposed serious failings in the way the system works. I pushed the PM on this yesterday - and safe to say the response wasn't enlightening!

The recent antisemitic hate crimes we've witnessed in North London are a deeply dangerous warning sign for all of our communities in this city. This kind of crime cannot and must not be normalised here or anywhere. It demands a response.

Research we’ve done has shown shoplifting in London has trebled in five years, whilst the number of cases that result in a charge is below 10% - the worst in the country. Let’s be clear - the Met needs funding urgently to restore proper community policing. southwarknews.co.uk/area/london/...

Today I spent four hours knocking on doors and talking to Sutton and Cheam residents about local issues and concerns. We have council elections in three weeks and people are focussed on who can help them make Sutton a better place to live.

The Lambeth Lib Dems have prepared our plan for a Fresh Start for Lambeth www.lambethlibdems.org.uk/our-plan-for...

If Peter Mandelson failed developed vetting, Keir Starmer cannot wash his hands of it. My op-ed on why responsibility for this goes right to the top👇 www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Really enjoyed the chance to talk London's local elections on ITV's Late Debate last night. ... even if it did mean having to literally listen to all the other parties shout over each other in a frenzied panic! www.itv.com/watch/news/t...

If you’re burning the midnight oil tonight… catch me on the Late Debate on ITV1 from 23:20! 📺 I’ll be talking local elections, Sadiq Khan’s record and the need to get more Lib Dem local champions elected across London.

Knife crime is a public health crisis, and whilst the Govt’s new strategy is a step in the right direction, there’s so much more to do to rise to its challenge and save lives. I pushed the Govt to go further yesterday. Here is the full speech: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFQr...

This morning, Police Scotland released a public service announcement, warning for rural communities to be vigilant for “suspicious people” of ill-intent. In unrelated news, on Tuesday morning Nigel Farage flew to the Northern Isles in his private plane. www.shetnews.co.uk/2026/04/14/f...

Trump, Putin, Farage… your boy took a hell of a beating. Congratulations to the people of Hungary for showing that populist extremists can be defeated – even despite Donald Trump’s best efforts.

Keir Starmer should rule out the UK joining Donald Trump's blockade, the latest escalation in his idiotic war.

Get out and vote, Hungary. Seize your democracy from Putin and his cronies.

I’m incredibly proud of Liberal Democrat colleagues across London who have organised to stand more candidates in these local elections on May 7th than at any local election since 1986. Well done to all our members, Local Parties, the Region Executive, and to all the staff who have worked so hard.

It was a pleasure to chat to Dr Gordon Yip at the STEM for Britain event in Parliament last month! Britain's future will be defined by our ability to harness the potential of the STEM sector - and Dr Gordon's research exemplifies why it's so important. www.kcl.ac.uk/news/kings-p...

Liberal Democrats get things done. We don’t do division. We do potholes and police officers, church roofs and clean rivers. We focus on the local issues that matter to you. Vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May.

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

This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world. Donald Trump is making wilder and increasingly concerning threats by the hour. If Trump follows through with this, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament.

Good riddance. Glad to see the Govt has listened to my Lib Dem colleagues and I who were the first to call for keeping this hateful man out of London. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Home Secretary should not permit Kanye West a visa. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @luketaylorld.bsky.social & Haringey @libdems.org.uk have written to the Home Secretary. Antisemitism and hate have no place in Haringey! bsky.app/profile/nick...

Wishing everybody in Sutton, Cheam, Worcester Park and beyond a happy, restful, wonderful Easter Sunday!

ok if we just shut up and give them this one then play the long game, it opens up a lot of poetic irony come 2028

Sporting bans might seem gratuitous at first glance; how does politics impact sports? This illustrates why we must continue to ban Russia, and Israel, and potentially the USA from international sport. No country that commits illegal war can be allowed to compete in international competitons.

Haringey Lib Dems, @eddavey.libdems.org.uk & @luketaylorld.bsky.social have written to the Home Secretary calling for Kanye West's UK Visa to be urgently reviewed. After a long record of antisemitic behaviour, it is unacceptable for him to headline a major festival in Haringey.

Trump's illegal war in Iran is already hitting families with higher prices at the pump. Half-measures and long-term policies won't cut it. We need to slash fuel duty now. Today we have launched our plan to keep Britain moving - including a 10% cut in fuel duty.

Angry ex member of golf club loses access to gold club changing rooms. Brexiteers never really understood the rules did they?

Yesterday I spoke in Parliament about the vile Hatzola ambulance attack. We must stand together against this hate as it has no place in London.

Welcome Kate, glad to have you join the team in Ealing.

CONFIRMED: Your ⭐️-studded hardworking local team for Sutton North: ⭐️ Yusuf Abd El-Razzak ⭐️ Sam Cumber ⭐️ Vanessa McCain They are hard at work listening to your concerns and delivering for local people, picking up the baton from the incredible Ruth Dombey.

This morning I spoke to BBC Radio London about the horrifying antisemitic attacks on the Jewish community last night. My thoughts go out to those who have been impacted by this attack, and I'll be pressing the Govt to do more to clamp down on hate crime.

Vile, antisemitic hate has no place in our city. Those responsible must be found and held accountable. Communities across London will always be stronger than those small-minded people who can’t stand people of all faiths living, working and thriving side by side. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz...
