Labour Councillor defending targeted harrasment of a trans council candidate?

There's still time to vote!

Scottish Liberal Democrats DOUBLE our number of councillors on Edinburgh Council winning 12 with 6 gains. We now have more councillors than the Conservatives and the Green Party. Congratulations Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP🔶🇺🇦, @CAJardine and your team!

Only one day after the elections and our Scottish Lib Dem teams are already hard at work. This morning Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP🔶🇺🇦 joined the newly elected Cllr Cllr Jack Caldwell 🇺🇦 and activists in Leith Walk to get talking to local people about their priorities for the next 5 years!

When I won my seat off the SNP in 2016, Scottish Lib Dems had just 2 councillors in City of Edinburgh Council. At this election we’re up to 12 and have achieved second in overall vote share. We are now the biggest challengers to the nationalists in our nation’s capital. 🔶 #newhope

A photo that captures our sheer joy ! So proud of all our incredible friends who got elected (and those who didn’t quite make it), our wonderful boss Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP🔶🇺🇦 for pulling off an astonishing first set of election results as leader, and so proud to be a Lib Dem ! 🔶🔶🔶

Quick summary: Absolute catastrophe for Conservatives. From 1st in votes/2nd seats to 4th/5th. SNP static, Labour gains marginal. Big winners hands-down the Lib Dems, doubled seats & 2nd in votes. Good day for Greens too, double figures & 4th in seats. ballotbox.scot/le22/edinburgh

"We have flipped a lot of communities who have traditionally voted Tory, they have now realised they get a better service with the Liberal Democrats." Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP🔶🇺🇦 heraldscotland.com/politics/20120…

The SNP/Green government’s publicly owned water company is spilling untreated sewage into Scotlands rivers over 10,000 times a year- (that’s >30x a day). Not only does Nicola Sturgeon have no plan to stop this, she doesn’t seem to be aware that it’s happening. 🤢👇🏻

Boris Johnson’s Downing Street was fined more times for breaking Covid laws than any other address in the country. The full Sue Gray report should now be published without delay. The public made huge sacrifices while Boris Johnson partied, they deserve the full truth.

It was against the rules, they knew it was against the rules, they were told to not make it obvious that they were breaking the rules, then they made a joke of breaking the rules. Begs the question as to why local Tories like Anna Bailey refuse to condemn the Prime Minister?

I am absolutely over the moon for my friend of 20yrs, Robert Aldridge, elected Lord Provost of Edinburgh today. Robert has spent his career fighting homelessness & over 30yrs serving his community as a Cllr. He is the first openly gay Lord Provost in the history of our city. 🏳️‍🌈

It's not just refuse collection suffering East Cambridgeshire "Due to staffing absences, the large road sweepers used across the district were not deployed throughout Q4... ...areas such as flytipping and general litter clearance were not able to be completed within the SLA timeframe"

Public Question time at the start of East Cambridgeshire Operational Services committee. Question after question from the public about the chaos with the ECSS refuse collection.

Remember the suspension of the green bin refuse collections in East Cambridgeshire in Dec 2021 & Jan 2022? Questions at the last two full council meetings as to which councillor officially endorsed the suspension were not fully answered. Today thanks to an FoI request we have the answer.

Boris Johnson has no ethics, so not surprising he wants to scrap his ethics adviser.

Please make an active effort to use the terms anti-choice/anti-abortion/pro-forced birth instead of pro-l*fe

Wishing all those celebrating with friends and loved ones in the coming days a joyous Eid al-Adha. On behalf of the Liberal Democrats, a blessed Eid Mubarak to you all.

Graham Norton says "my voice adds nothing to this discussion" and JK Rowling takes this as a personal attack saying he's another bearded man trying to dictate what a woman is. No, he's saying celebrities should not be the voice of discussion on topics that don't concern them.
