Fantastic reception in Bermondsey this evening, with lots of recognition of the hard work by local Southwark Lib Dems councillors.

The Conservatives can't win in London, but Sadiq Khan doesn't deserve to win.

My top priority is to fix the Met - as I told the BBC earlier this week 👇

Interesting discussion re devolution and London at the Institute for Government supported by OnLondon - clear London government needs more fiscal devolution and powers to innovate and deliver for our city.

This Thursday vote for the candidate that's going to get you a fair deal.

Vote for local Liberal Democrat champion.

Thanks to the team from ⁦HM Courts and Tribunals Service⁩ for sending lots of #magistrate swagger to my community centre ⁦Kentish Town Community Centre⁩ ⁦The Magistrates' Association⁩

A beautiful evening to join Croydon Lib Dems - people switching to us from Labour after being disappointed by their local record.

Thanks team Ealing Lib Dems 🔶 !

My aunt got her leaflet last night and was very impressed!

I had my neck broken in an attempted mugging - and I got lucky surviving. Too many people don't.

My top priority will be to fix the Met, getting police solving serious crimes like sexual offences, where the Mayor's record is pitiful.

We can only fix London's housing crisis, and bring down rents, if we build a lot more.

On Sunday I talked to #politicsLondon about how to do this.

Right now the Labour and Conservative candidates for Mayor of London are running away from debates.

They are avoiding almost everything.

Are they scared of having their policies discussed?

My comments to ITV 👇

Odd to see the Conservatives complaining about police station closures.... when it was Boris Johnson who started the closure programme.

My comments to BBC Radio London 👇

Home baked cake at commiseration party on Hammersmith Bridge this arvo as LibDem London Mayoral candidate Rob Blackie marked 5yr anniversary of its closure to traffic (with cake baked by Richmond Pk MP Sarah Olney)
LibDems want govt to fix it

Liberal Democrat mayoral candidate Rob Blackie 🔶 launched his housing policy in Sutton this morning.

Mr Blackie has pledged to create a London-owned housing developer to deliver 'high-quality, affordable homes' if elected next month.

Sadiq Khan has built a £2bn motorway under the Thames at Silvertown.

I've talked to ITV about what we do about it - including better air quality monitoring, and investigating how we can make it lower impact for local residents.

My interview 👇

Rob Blackie 🔶 Cllr Claire Bonham 🔶 Croydon Lib Dems London Liberal Democrats Sadiq Khan was right to reduce buses - in Central London - he should’ve moved them to the ‘burbs.

But then he did have the absolutely useless Heidi Alexander as Deputy Mayor for Transport.

He’d have been better off borrowing Caroline Pidgeon AM🔶 🇺🇦 from London Liberal Democrats

Londoners are feeling let down by the Mayor. Talking to people every week people tell me that they don’t feel safe - whether it’s a stabbing nearby or a car being broken into on their street.

I know this too well from having my neck broken in an attempted mugging. More from ITV…

Wishing everyone who is celebrating in #London and beyond #HappyEid

From my family to yours, may you have a blessed #Eid . Peace be upon you all. #Eid Mubarak
