East Sheen Councillor monthly Surgery at the beautiful Hare & Hounds URRW today 🫖 ☕ We are here 11am till 12.30pm always on the last Saturday of the month. Certainly worth a coffee and a chat.

The Liberal Democrats 🔶️ were out in force at Hammersmith Bridge today. Both Sarah Olney MP and Transport Chair Alex Ehmann spoke to applause. The message 'restore Hammersmith Bridge to its original state' was appreciated. The government needs to ACT NOW and fund repairs

♻️ Very popular MEGA SKIP DAY in East Sheen yesterday. Such a great Richmond Council initiative ♻️ me, Zoe and Mohsin got stuck in on a freezing day. Thank you to all would walked, drove and cycled with an array of items. Furniture was taken by Charity, The Richmond Furniture Scheme 🚚

Bundled up for doorstep chats in East Sheen earlier. Crime, roads and flytipping the most heard topics. Appreciation for the Lib Dems strong response to the police counter closing in Twickenham and the £21 million plus investment in roads and pavements. 🔶️🔶️🔶️

Small Business Saturday in our wonderful High Street 🛍 Shops like Sheen Uncovered shine and are ever popular. Me, Zoe and Margaret are keen to support the push to #shoplocal Thank you to MP Sarah Olney and Business Development lead Cllr Giesler for their involvement 👜👛🛍

So pleased to attend the LGiU Awards and cheer on Richmond Council colleague Cllr Alex Ehmann. We are so delighted he won 🏆 Innovator of the Year. #CllrAwards #localgov

Packed day with the South Richmond Lib Dem team Chris, Paulina & Massimo 🔶️🔶️🔶️ Great support from Sarah Olney and Gareth Roberts 🔶️🔶️🔶️ The rain and cold proving no barrier to some good doorstep chat. One woman very pleased about the MEGA SKIP coming up ♻️

A huge pleasure to be present in the council chamber as Sir Vince Cable became an Honorary Freeman of the Borough for his political, charity and community work. Hearing the tributes and listening to Vince reminded me of the immeasurable contribution he has made so far in his life.

A moving Service & Act of Remembrance held by the Parish of Mortlake with East Sheen. I was honoured to take the salute as veterans, organisations & community groups took part 🥁 Prayers were said and thanks given to generations whose sacrifice and courage will not be forgotten.

The Lib Dems have over 70 MPs but you'd think Reform does, the way journalists keep banging on about them

LG Election 26 NEWS 🔶️ I'm thrilled to announce that at a members meeting Cllr Margaret Dane was re-selected along with me to stand for East Sheen. Dr Mohsin Khan was selected as the 3rd team member. We've hit the campaigning hard and will continue to serve our community.

Cllr Julia Cambridge has done incredible work supporting and empowering women in the Liberal Democrats. I'm proud to have her support for Federal Board! @juliacambridge.bsky.social

🔶️Lib Dem Action Day in Heathfield today. Cllrs John, Lesley & Michael were supported by Munira, Gareth & MP Victoria Collins. Lots of doorstep chats about failing Labour & crumbling Conservatives. The best part was hearing stories of help local Cllrs have always given 🔶️

THAMESFIELD WARD LIB DEM ACTION 🔶️ today with one of the busiest local parties. Josh is going all out with teams including James & Quaid. Brilliant to see Sue Wixley & Fergus of #Southfields and Lara #Northcote I feel positive the Lib Dems will make inroads in May next year.

If you live, attend clubs or school in Richmond upon Thames please do submit a short story ✍🏼or poem 📖 for this fantastic Arts Richmond Young Writers Festival 25/26 📚 ➡️ Deadline 5th December

Congratulations Mortlake with East Sheen Ministries on the 50th celebration 🕯1975 - 2025 today. The Bishop of Southwark addressed the many who gathered for thanks and song. He spoke of courage and sacrifice, words so relevant across the world.

Ming Campbell will be missed. He has his place in history not just as a Lib Dem icon during his decades in politics but as a sporting champion. Ten years ago we talked and I was blinded by his intelligence and kind nature. Rest in peace.

Two of the premier diversity organisations here at the #LDConf in Bournemouth 🔶️ Thanks go to Lib Dem Women and LDCRE for the lobbying, advocacy and work they do to promote women and equality.

🇬🇧 brilliant BRILLIANT speech by the one and only Tim Farron - a patriot but 'not a nationalist' Ending with flags waved and a battle cry to never ever bow to nationalism. #LDConf 🔶️🔶️🔶️

I have nominated Josh for Party President ⬇️☑ ✅Relentless energy ☑A proven winner ✅An innovative campaigner Just three of the many reasons why Josh would be an exciting prospect as President of the Liberal Democrats 🔶️

Just under an hour to go ⏰🏃

West Hampstead by-election was buzzing today despite rain ☔ showers. What a pleasure it was to hear 'yep I've voted for Janet' from multiple doors. Come on JANET 🧡 #votelibdem 🔶️ Voting till 10pm if you are a London Lib Dem get along.

🗳 West Hampstead is all to play for on Thursday 28th ✉ It was a pleasure to join candidate Janet Grauberg & Assembly member Gareth Roberts to talk with voters. Janet has simply spent 35 years steeped in the community, recognised with an OBE this year. #votelibdem 🔶️

This Summer has been a fantastic chance to chat with the East Sheen community. Mohsin, Margaret and me 😄 have, along with the team, enjoyed getting out & about with the residents survey. If improvements or new ideas are needed we'll always look to help 😊🔶️

Well the rain ☔ came down but didn't ruin the East Sheen MEGA SKIP a FREE community skip from @LBRUT ...3 lawn mowers, a washing machine, tables, chairs, mattresses. The best for me were the older people who can't drive to the recycle centre and walked here 😊

Today @richmondcouncil.bsky.social and Kingston Council stood united to confront violence against women and girls. Powerful words from @eddavey.libdems.org.uk, @munirawilson.bsky.social, survivors & both council leaders on how we can all make a difference. #VAWG #whiteribbon

Today @MuniraWilson.bsky.social and I have written to the Prime Minister, calling on him to ensure that reform of the SEND system has children at its heart. After years of Conservative neglect, the SEND system needs fundamental change. But change must be a step forwards not backwards. 🧵1/

I was so pleased to hear Council Leader Gareth Roberts announce at Full Council that the Freedom of the Borough would be awarded, this year, to Sir Vince Cable. Vince's commitment to charities, organisations and politics in the Borough is well known. Plus, he's a legend.

A vibrant 'Community Conversation' this week involving East Sheen, Mortlake & Barnes. Topics included: ➡️Transport ➡️High Streets ➡️Green issues ➡️Crime & Safety Lots of comments and community chat in beautiful All Saints Church. Rev Haynes, Team Rector, in the Chair 👏

🔶️ Chatting local, national and world issues 🌏 on the doors today 🔶️ The political climate has changed that's for sure and many @TRLibDems were out today having those conversations. We will always offer a Liberal alternative & home. libdems.org.uk/join

Some treasured memories from the very special re-affirmation weekend. If people trivialise the 'purpose' for these partnerships I would wish them to see the friendship, warmth & understanding that comes from hosting as Richmond did. 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇬🇧

Wonderful to join the Mayor of Richmond in the Octagon Room at Orleans House Gallery to welcome honoured guests from Konstanz and Fontainebleau - twinned towns with Richmond 🇬🇧🇪🇺🖤❤💛💙🤍❤ A big weekend of events is planned. richmond.gov.uk/news/news_may_…

Unveiling of a striking mural to celebrate the forthcoming reaffirmation of Richmond's twin towns 🇬🇧🇩🇪🇨🇵 www.richmond.gov.uk/news/news_ma...

Join @LBRUT at Richmond Cargo Bike Fair 🚴 🌳Old Deer Park Sunday 15th June 11am -5pm 🚲 Lots of activities and a chance to learn more about sustainable transport. richmond.gov.uk/services/roads…

A piece I wrote last year came to mind today. It explains what CGB do in the Lib Dems 🔶️ politicsuk.com/liberal-demo...

It was a privilege to nominate Cocoon Care After Care, a charity dedicated to supporting care experienced young people, for the Communities Together category at @LBRUT Community Heroes Awards 2024-25. They won! Congratulations to all nominees 💫💫💫💫💫 cocooncareaftercare.org.uk

My week 🤷🏼‍♀️

My week ⬇️

Out and about tonight in the ward with our residents survey. Thank you to fellow Cllrs Alex and Chris for joining us 🔶️

'Supporting the builders not the blockers' on matters like 'Heathrow third runway'. @RachelReevesMP might as well have said 'supporting the builders not those pesky communities or climate warriors'... #BudgetSpeech2025

The ask that social media giants are hit with more regulation & tax made by @EdwardJDavey are exactly the sort of measures which will make platforms wake up to the harm much of the content, the PM said, was harming youngsters viewing on mobile phones. Let's join those dots. #PMQs

Harrogate was delightful 🔶️ Enjoyed meeting women members and training for the Campaign for Gender balance, catching up with friends and witnessing speakers, debates, motions all of which reminded me why I'm a Liberal 💛 #LDConf

Fabulous launch of the Sheen Art Trail by Dep Mayor Kuldev Sehra at the Hare & Hounds. Finishing on 22nd do come and view all the art in 34 East Sheen shops 🖼🎨 to buy or commission. Well done Sheen Artists and East Sheen Village 🖌

My week 📒

The Mortlake community came out in force to participate in the Mortlake Mash-Up. Many initiatives were on offer including talks and workshops all designed to draw together community led ideas. Well done to the organisers including the BCA, AFC Powerhouse & Mortlake Councillors.

My week 🔶️

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

Happy #InternationalWomensDay A sobering White Ribbon Walk as a day of activism to combat, confront and change ingrained cultures and behaviours of boys and men - which lead to violence against women & girls. Started by Munira Wilson MP and closed by Gareth Roberts 💜🤍💚
