Shouldn’t @libdems.org.uk stop using the platform? It would be a good place to start.

With Labour and the Conservatives both having let people down and failed to deliver the change our country needs, it comes down to the Liberal Democrats or Nigel Farage. Two visions for the future that couldn’t be more different. www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

Ed Davey urges regulator to go after Musk over X 'crimes' - Musk has backed the far right here and across Europe, he’s also called for the overthrow of the British government. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk is right, time for action. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The media - no, we're not going to report on serious Lib Dem policies The media - yes, we will report on fun stunts The media, also - the Lib Dems need to show they've got serious policies

This'll be very telling when he comes to speak. If Farage uses his appearance in front of that committee to encourage a foreign state to bully his own country, he'll have crossed a very specific line.

For one special day, Saturday 13 Sep, Richmond’s High Street becomes a festival of creativity: street performances of Alice in Wonderland by Orange Tree Theatre, live music, skateable art, giant puppets, workshops, outdoor dining, markets & street food. Join the fun! www.centrestagerichmond.co.uk

Out and about with Cllr Tony Paterson and Cllr McNulty-Howard and officer Raphael Younger in The Terrace, Barnes yesterday, sharing our ideas for a 'Pedestrian Improvement Pilot'. The Terrace is in MBC but on the border with Barnes Ward. Good inter-Ward collaboration and Hector came too 🐶

We stand unified against #VAWG. For #IWD2025 @LBRUT held a White Ribbon Walk with inspiring words from Gareth Roberts @munirawilson.bsky.social & Prof Mellins (St Mary’s Uni) Thanks to Bu’sen & Hampton & Richmond FC for tackling harmful attitudes & @londonfire.bsky.social for cheering #WhiteRibbon

The Boat Race 13th April 2025 means Hammersmith Bridge will be closed to pedestrians, cyclists, and e-scooters 10am -4pm

Even more consternation on the soon to be reopened carriageway at #HammersmithBridge - over the top security or not in beautiful #Barnes

The Boat Race 13th April 2025 means Hammersmith Bridge will be closed to pedestrians, cyclists, and e-scooters 10am -4pm

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

Much consternation on newly resurfaced Lonsdale Road SW13! Cadent Gas are attending a gas leak - dug up the road - obviously not planned. For further info contact Cadent Gas on 0800 0159 057

Davey: Lib Dems are the ‘antidote’ to right-wing populism

Spent a few hours at @Allianze Stadium Twickenham before the Scotland v England rugby game. Supporting the WhiteRibbonUK speaking up against #VAWG - lovely to see quite a lot of men in kilts and hear the bagpipes in London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Closure by @LBHF of one footway on Hammersmith Bridge this AM is creating concerning congestion of pedestrians on the remaining walkway. @LBRUT officers have raised the need for @LBHF to ensure safety by stewarding situation. We’ve also asked for comms about the delays.

Can you help us spread the word? Can you share this post across your networks? We are looking to recruit and train volunteer Bereavement Supporters to join our dedicated children and young people specialist team in Richmond borough. Details below: bit.ly/3PIqrJQ

At a time when we need a fragile truce in Gaza to hold, Trump’s dangerous ramblings about displacing 1.8 million people only make things worse. At PMQs, @eddavey.libdems.org.uk told the Prime Minister he must be clear: these proposals must be rejected, and we must support a two-state solution.

Richmond Council has been clear and consistent in its stance: a third runway would have catastrophic consequences for our borough and for London." Leader of the Council, Cllr Roberts, has reaffirmed long-standing opposition to the expansion of #Heathrow

At PMQs, @eddavey.libdems.org.uk calls on Keir Starmer to open talks on new trade deal with Europe: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh4z...

Great speaking to #Alperton residents today! It’s clear Charlie Clinton is needed to tackle fly-tipping like this and ensure the money raised from new developments funds proper infrastructure for locals. Vote @libdems.org.uk on 18 Feb to make it happen!

A good morning knocking on doors of #Alperton with some of the local @libdems.org.uk team getting out there talking to local residents about their concerns - and there are many after 14 years of Labour neglect.

I am concerned about the level of violence and harassment against girls in schools. The Equally Safe programme, which is intended to deal with this, has only been rolled out to a third of schools, below previous targets. I asked the education secretary what she is doing to improve the uptake.

It’s back!!! After months of lobbying, South Western Railway has reinstalled the bike ramp they removed earlier this year. We would like to thanks our local councillors and our MP Sarah Olney for all their help. Common sense prevails!

We had a great community effort in cleaning a wall of vegetation to enable a lovely surprise coming soon to Barnes.

Problem…

Good support for our petition to Save The Royal Parks Police today in Richmond Park Volunteers, Councillors and @sarahjolney1 all out in force to gain support for a rethink SIGN THE PETITION HERE: trlibdems.org.uk/our-campaigns/…

trlibdems.org.uk/our-campaigns/…🌳🦌🍂 *Richmond Park Petition 'Saturday 4th' Event* We are dismayed to hear that the dedicated Parks Police who patrol Richmond Park might be disbanded leaving our stretched local police to ALSO attend 2,500 acres of the Royal Park.

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath

It is our ambition to bring more footfall to North Barnes and Castelnau Parade and Barnes Community Association have brilliantly arranged a mini Festive Market! Please shop locally and support small businesses and hear Lowther School singing their hearts out 🎄

🚨Health Secretary Wes Streeting has now ordered a review of what physician associates do in the NHS amid growing alarm in the medical profession about patient safety👏 If you are not familiar with this scandal watch this report youtu.be/zgBrrMmx4yg?...

And for an insight into how this level of hardship affects public services, check out this @jrf-uk.bsky.social research with primary school staff & GPs. Shows public services staggering under the weight of hardship & children's education blighted. www.jrf.org.uk/deep-poverty...

Well, we’ve passed the 23,600 mark now and we’re 37 short of 23,700. 🚀🚀 All efforts to get to that level hugely appreciated. …including: Please re-share this post everywhere!

Lambeth Council is currently - like many councils I imagine - in the process of purging EU citizens (who aren't from a handful of 'reciprocal' countries) from its electoral roll

Good morning. Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.
