'There are always extremists.
But what gives them power is not the appeal of their extremism, but the comfort others have in conformity."

☺️ After months of chasing, the smiley face speed radar on Replingham road is back in action, reminding motorists to slow down and making the streets of #Southfields safer.
How it started How it's going
This week my London Liberal Democrat colleagues and I wrote to the Chancellor to demand she use the budget to get urgent funding to the Met Police.
There are so many challenges facing policing in London - and the Govt and Mayor simply aren't equipping them with what they need to keep us all safe.
In a shocking move...
Lord O'Donnell - an AELTC director - has sponsored an amendment to the Government's Planning Bill that will directly benefit AELTC and other developers and trash the public's right to public land. More here 👇

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.
A tweet from the Conservative Party calling for Angela Rayner to be sacked immediately.
Let’s see what the ethics adviser says, but maybe instead of all this jumping up and down, now would be a good time to discuss how we look after disabled children and build a more caring country.
I worked with Janet at the DfE - she was my fellow policy adviser (supporting Lib Dem ministers). She was brilliant and cares more about local government than anyone I've ever met so if you happen to live in her ward do vote for her.

And a trio of third places for Reform...
People chatting outside a popular local shop. Parent with a pram walking along pavement. Parade of shops in the distance include a nail bar, pizza restaurant, coffee shop.
We need to encourage the Council to protect local shopping parades like this (and similar across our borough).
They're vital places where people bump into neighbours, meet friends, shop, grab a coffee or pizza, get a haircut, hang out. Our communities would be poorer without them.
Join our litter picking session on 1st June, 10am. Meet at the Tennis Kiosk near the café.
Friends of Wimbledon Park will be organising this summer’s first litter picking session. Everyone is welcome to join us!

Thanks to brave survivors like Juliana, campaigners across the country, and Sarah Olney leading the charge, more victims will now get access to court transcripts free of charge.
Kemi Badenoch says Lib Dems are people who fix church roofs...
It was meant as an insult, but we are proud to be local champions who get things done - from better streets to safer neighbours and #saving #WimbledonPark.

If you're in #Southfields and keen to hear more and get involved, Friends of Coronation Gardens is holding a get together 👉 7:30-9pm in the Scout hut at 93 Pirbight Road.
The PM is right to increase defence spending - however cutting international aid is cutting soft power, which only plays into the hands of Russia and China.
@libdems.org.uk believes this money could be raised fairly by raising taxes on social media firms and tech giants.
Good to see this! This is the fair deal that young people deserve and something the @LibDems have been pushing for.
After the Tories' botched Brexit, the UK must fix our broken relationship with Europe.

With 2 judicial reviews kicking off on the AELTC development and the future of #WimbledonPark, now might be a good moment for AELTC to get around the table with the local community. #JawJaw vs #LawLaw

“Almost every major British political party has bent the knee to Donald Trump. The Liberal Democrats are happy to stay standing.”
#Wandle At least the source of the spill has been found and plugged. But really worried about the environmental damage and impact on the local community

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945.
The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.
text on screen reads: The hospitality industry is facing a £4.5 billion tax bombshell over the next five years- underneath is a sign that reads 'sorry we're closed'
Hospitality businesses are being pushed to the brink by the National Insurance hike.
Pubs, restaurants & hotels warn this jobs tax will make it even harder to stay open and keep staff on. The Government must exempt hospitality or risk businesses going under.
Expanding Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton airports will add 92 million tonnes of carbon dioxide to our carbon footprint by 2050.
While we must grow the economy, we must not do so at the expense of the environment.
Ministers cannot allow this to spiral any further and must urgently grip this situation.
That must start with a government plan to winterproof the NHS and make this the last winter crisis.
