In February 1965 PM #HaroldWilson told his Housing Minister #RichardCrossman. "If we are going to obtain the increased housing allocation we must stop the demolishing of habitable houses and the building of luxury houses." A lesson we are still to learn!

It’s truly staggering that the biggest march in over a decade by progressive voters isn’t mentioned by leading members of Her Majesty’s Opposition on their twitter feeds @jeremycorbyn @johnmcdonnellMP @HackneyAbbott @EmilyThornberry @Keir_Starmer A stunning absence of leadership – at Berlin, Germany

A massive peaceful protest march took place in London today. I’ve seen no reports of violence, yobbery or arrests. This is what a mature democracy is supposed to look like.

This photo encapsulates the mood today as nearly 700,000 people are attending the #PeoplesVoteMarch including your Bermondsey Liberal Democrat team. People from both remain and leave camps there side by side to demand a people's vote

Loved being part of the over 600k people demanding a #PeoplesVote on the final Brexit deal at today’s #PeoplesVoteMarch - extra special as I got to march with my parents, best friend and pals from Southwark, Manchester and Ireland 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺

Last thought before signing off: Can anyone remember a time before 23rd June 2016? When the UK was a highly respected country with a leading role on the international stage and a major voice in the EU? Things were not perfect, but I was not so anxious about the future. Night

We won all three seats in the deferred election for London Bridge & West Bermondsey! Congrats to all three top candidates! That means that, nationwide, the @Libdems gained more seats in the 2018 local elections than Labour did!

Proving they have exactly the same ‘cake and eat it’ policies as @Conservatives .... xitter.cf/uklabour/status/100685…
Today in Parliament we’re going to be voting for 👇 ✔️ A strong new relationship with the Single Market ✔️ A new comprehensive UK-EU customs union ✔️ No hard border between Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland #PMQs #EUWithdrawalBill

Tomorrow is the London Bridge & West Bermondsey council election. All three Liberal Democrat candidates live locally, are hard working, will fight your corner and hold the Labour council to account. m.youtube.com/watch?v=bB57O5…

Very disappointed in @monzo who feel they cannot support democracy and election agents. They were a fantastic service, and I would highly recommend them, except that they want to now block the bank account I use for #localelection2018
Last year’s terrorist attack was horrific. We came together as a borough and as a city. We are much stronger together. xitter.cf/swklibdems/status/1003…
'In solidarity, remembrance and with determination that your deaths and injuries of 3rd June, 2017 will not have been in vain.'
"The terrorists wished nothing but death on this place. Instead, they made us think and talk in ways that are very much alive." @AdeleLibDem bbc.com/news/uk-44344818

I am crying. No women should be without the right to choose and I love that these grandfathers agreed #repealthe8th xitter.cf/girlsreallyrule/status…
This picture of Grandfathers supporting the women of Ireland is AMAZING. Also, I'm not crying...#repealthe8th

Will @jeremycorbyn get behind the Lib Dem amendment to give the public the final say on the Brexit deal? We can #ExitfromBrexit but Corbyn and Labour leadership need to stand up to the Tories. Join our campaign today to Exit from Brexit: libdems.org.uk/brexit

Thanks to @vincecable @SimonHughes and @libdemgail for joining us and an ever increasing team of #LibDems who are fighting for us to win the last 3 seats in Southwark so we can be an even more effective opposition to Labour

So sorry to read of Tessa Jowell’s death. She was a strong and outspoken representative of Dulwich and West Norwood for 23 years and showed that women are equals in politics. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

'More of the same' hasn't worked and won't work in future. This Thursday, you have a true alternative. Vote for a Liberal London. youtube.com/watch?v=gYZSNqYw…
Last election, Southwark Labour promised to build 11,000 council homes. Under them we’ve lost over two thousand and they’ve built less than two hundred.

See the vast empty space below? It shows the huge lack of bike-hire docking stations in Southwark. Southwark Labour simply haven't delivered. Make London Greener. Vote for a #LiberalLondon.
