Today's poll shows London Liberal Democrats at more than double our 2021 support.

And like every other poll it shows that the Conservatives can't win in London.

It's time for a change.

Labour-run Lambeth are a disgrace - letting down homeless people and social housing tenants time after time.

🔶Lambeth Lib Dems🔶 are proud to offer a positive alternative.

The British people are desperate for hope and change.

The British people are desperate for a fair deal.

And we are the ones who can make it happen.

As the actual Liberal Democrats candidate for London Mayor in 2021, I'm urging everyone to vote for our excellent candidate Rob Blackie 🔶 on 2 May. Sadiq Khan has done nothing to deserve a third term & the Tory candidate has no chance. Make your vote count and send them both a message. 🔶️

In a way what is interesting is that ex Tory Chancellors with no training in economics and who should have borrowed and invested cheaply in the years 2010-2020 at all actually think anyone cares about what they say. The reality is that it is their fault the economy is screwed

Matthew Pennell Zero Ducks Given Genuinely sickens us when one of those catches goes viral.

Matthew Pennell Growing up in Camden and especially as a teenager and young adult, the vibrancy and number of venues were amazing. I think this is an excellent campaign.

A day off as part of Easter break...so I headed to West Moors, Wimborne, Horton & Chalbury to campaign with Liberal Democrats colleagues for the Dorset Council UK elections & in readiness for the #GeneralElections2024 People are ready for change ... coming soon my new Crowdfunder page

For reasons of urgency we are referring to Daniel Norcross as Dan. Steven Finn remains Steven Finn but we have tried to say his name quickly wherever possible.

Thanks to Zero Ducks Given for allowing access.

You get your news 6 months ahead in the Sevenoaks Chronicle! Scoop of the day...my thoughts are with the sub editor. Probably having a challenging day.

This week I visited Tunbridge Wells.

Thanks to the local Lib Dem team who pushed through the gridlock, this wasted brownfield site, ignored since 1999, is set to become a thriving retirement community right in the heart of this beautiful town.

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 👇

This Conservative government has left our NHS to rot, with patients and staff suffering from rodents and bugs gone wild.

They must act now by bringing forward emergency funds for crumbling and unhygienic hospitals.

Our NHS deserves better.
