My take on the ongoing tragedy in Gaza, Israel and the broader Middle East.

How to break the cycle of hatred and war ? As Europe did after WWII… enemies becoming partners…. guaranteeing that both Israeli’s and Palestinians can live in peace and security.

New research from me: The Met is taking far too long to respond to domestic abuse 999 calls, and it is missing its targets to respond to “significant” 999 calls by over an hour.

The Mayor needs to urgently get a grip.

Thoughtful and moving piece from my colleague Layla. The people of Israel and Palestine have a right to live free from fear.

It is perplexing that both main political parties seem intent on chasing the 52 % ,now 40% , Brexit vote so neglecting a pro European majority plus signalling deserting the cause of climate change as the world “boils”. The opportunity for an alternative - the LibDems? - is huge.

LibDems have led the fight for LGBTQ+ rights

The Met has lost the confidence of London’s women, LGBTQ+ and BAME communities - so why does Southwark’s Labour Council refuse to ask the Mayor of London to withdraw his confidence in the Met? #swklibdems #londonlibdems

Burning the last bridges: the so-called 'Illegal Migration Bill' not only breaches international law, it will squander any chance we had of ever rejoining the European Union. This is why we must stop it: youtube.com/live/ENuoAra3w… Lib Dem Conference 🔶 Liberal Democrats Overseas 🔶🌍

In a strategic moment for the future of #Europe , I am sure that my friend Tom Brake shall know how to use his energy to strenghen 🇬🇧 #Europe anMovement but also the links between #UK and #EU . Because convincing EU citizens that Rejoin is our common interest is also a priority.

Our justice system has just dissociated itself from the concept of Justice...
