Thrilled to be elected alongside @nickdacosta.bsky.social to serve as your Highgate Lib Dem councillors. Thank you to everyone who supported our team and especially Marsha Isilar-Gosling, who has served Highgate with dedication. If you ever need help email [email protected]

Just visited Highgate primary school where the children were asking me lots of questions about what it's like to be a councillor and what I'd like to change. Was amazing to see how passionate and knowledgeable they were, the future will be safe with them!

Was out canvassing and Gussy the ice cream man offered me one on house. Do we I have to declare it?

*Repair Work on Muswell Hill Road* UK Power Networks are undertaking mains repair works on Muswell Hill Road N6, near number 130 This involves the use of temporary two way traffic signals. The works are taking place now and are estimated to be completed on the 16.04.26. Expect delays in the area.

*** Road Closure *** Thames Water will be closing Hornsey Lane, N6 outside number 90, due to a collapsed sewer. The road was closed this afternoon and is expected to remain closed for 14 days. There will be diversions in place, please expect delays

Good turnout today at the Fortis Green action day, some of them here enjoying Viv's chilli!

Great for safety but Lime still needs to address it's two big problems: bad parking and cost. Dockless bikes are a great idea but if they are too expensive and annoy everyone else they are in trouble. The solution, as in many cases: more competition in the market open.substack.com/pub/londonce...

While we were outside the council meeting, demanding security doors for a local estate, lib dems announced they plan to scrap bailiffs in Haringey following our campaign! Things are changing in our borough. Join our branch and fight for your community ✊🚩

Yesterday marked the final meeting for Haringey, I chose to end on the subject of inequality With the elections coming in May, things are set to look very different and, hopefully, we’ll see many Lib Dem councillors elected. If you’re considering getting involved, now is an exciting time to do so!🔶

Very happy to open Stanhope Bridge today. It's so important to protect access to our amazing green spaces and the Parkland Walk is a great example of that.

The world's greatest tournament produces it's best ever edition - Six Nations rugby is unbelievable

Very important to campaign on this unfair system www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

This is illiberal and won't work. Fix the root cause rather than try to impose behaviours and cause further stress on young people share.google/aEx96eMeSZbG...

Great news. Fantastic work by all those who supported the cause www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

On reports that Russia could be readmitted to the G7 under peace plans, Lib Dem Calum Miller MP says: "Russia must not be readmitted...Putin is a war criminal who is also hell-bent on destabilising Europe and the rest of the international order. A ceasefire in Ukraine would not change those facts."

Shocking, how can we trust this party to run the country? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Brilliant result! Once again showing that it's the Lib Dems taking on and beating Reform where it matters - at the ballot box.

I have no issue with crowd control on the underground but sometimes it is quite odd. Here at Whitechapel station you have entrances for both directions either side of you, but the sign says to go right for westbound trains and forwards for eastbound

Some absolutely cracking albums nominated for the prize. Big fan of Fontaines, CMAT, Wolf Alice and Sam. Very cool for the local fans too, good to see stuff like this spreading around the UK www.bbc.com/news/article...

Three new members, a bunch of new volunteers and hundreds of doors knocked. I'd say that's a successful day for the Stroud green team! 🔶🔶🔶

This is something we as Liberal Democrats have long called for. Those who wage illegal wars must face the consequences. I'm proud to see this principle become policy.

She seems to think that stamp duty, a tax that's only levied on homes that cost more than £300,000, is the reason that young people aren't buying homes ...I think she needs to speak to the average young person in this country www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trans people are seeing fewer and fewer spaces remain open to them. Please support their right to exist fully and freely in our society, and urge the City of London to stand with them. www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do...

Lib Dem conference isn't all policy papers

🎯 from Tim Farron

My speech given at Liberal Democrat conference in Bournemouth on a motion on adult education I wanted to open up about my own difficult, personal story and how I became a Liberal Democrat

Great to be out in Bounds Green today and managed to sign up a new member! 🔶🔶🔶

I’ve written to Ofcom urging them to review the BBC’s coverage of Nigel Farage and Reform to see if it is line with broadcast guidance. The disproportionate coverage of Farage is damaging to the BBC’s reputation as well as our democracy. 1/2

This is the direct impact of tip culture on British wages We don't want to move towards an American model, where a large proportion of earnings come from precarious sources Tips given for good service, rather than automatically, are the way to avoid this www.londoncentric.media/p/why-london...

Spent the afternoon supporting Janet Grauberg with her by-election in West Hampstead. Great to be out with a group of friends while on the doors. Always fun!

Odd article. It stresses how hard the swap is, yet loads of people have made the swap to NFL. Doing the same in football or tennis in your 20s would be near impossible www.bbc.co.uk/sport/americ...

Last week, I thanked the Latin American community of Haringey for the vital role they play in shaping the vibrant, diverse borough we’re proud to call home It’s essential that the Council not only supports this community but also works to revive cherished cultural events like the Tottenham Carnival

A joint statement from YL and our branches regarding the Online Safety Bill.

Tennis!

The Highgate Society gardening team and I recently planted some beautiful flowers here. With this heat, the last thing we want is for them to wither, so I'm spending the afternoon giving them some much-needed care!

Glad to see this story get some attention. The resident has been through hell trying to get someone to take ownership of the problem Hopefully the council and Thames can come to the table and finally fix the leak www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2529406...

Just cycled a few minutes up the road to the shops and managed to get brushed by a wing mirror and a car turned right, straight through my lane, while making eye contact with me. We have a long way to go for safe cycling in this country

Oh no, reaping what you sow

About an hour left to go! 🚴

We’re already far behind where we need to be on climate action, we simply can’t afford to rule out any solutions. It’s deeply frustrating that, yet again, British political gridlock is standing in the way of real improvements www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Correct decision. I know any fan caught would have been banned so I hope the club went to some efforts to find them Possibly the most homophobic part of mainstream society still left, a long way to go www.football.london/tottenham-ho...

I have taken the ever-so-slightly mad decision to cycle part of the way to Glastonbury festival this year. In an effort to create a bit less carbon and improve the air quality around the site, I'll be cycling around 5 hours or so of the journey 🌼🌳🚴

I would prefer to be able to count on American police officers not deliberately taking aim and shooting at me while I am reporting. The slow motion here is extremely damning.

Shocking situation. If Ofwat can't take action here then what is the point of having regulation at all? This shouldn't be allowed to happen, money cannot overule the law www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Currently at a festival and the only way you can access this stage is if you sign up to a Revolut account. A ridiculous situation, should not be allowing this level of corporate gatekeeping

Over the past few decades, social care spending has risen significantly. Pensions have also been protected - growing faster than wages as a result. The Winter Fuel Payment is another example of support that largely benefits older generations. www.lbc.co.uk/politics/uk-...
