I disagree with Reform and the policies they stand for. However, I do not agree with political violence and I hope @_GeorgeFinch is OK and that young people are inspired to get into Politics to make a positive difference. We win through hearts and minds, not political thuggery.
Reform’s Council Leader George Finch has been assaulted in the street. The assailant shouted “fascist, racist” - exactly the language used by the Prime Minister and the leader of the Green Party. They know exactly what they’re doing.

I disgree with Daisy on this. We should be encouraging Reform ( and other parties) to change their mind when they realise something cant be achieved
Nigel Farage called Reform’s manifesto a contract with the British people. Now he’s torn that to shreds. It’s clear that they can’t be trusted with our economy.

In 5 years, TfL only made four prosecutions for blaring out noise instead of using headphones. But this is a daily nuisance for Londoners. It's time for fines and real consequences for those who ignore the rules. Report from @Kumail_Jaffer

Today's release of the remaining living hostages is a moment of joy. The unacceptable failure to get aid into Gaza must be immediately addressed, whilst UK must now work with our allies to ensure permanent peace by securing progress on a 2 state solution.

The released hostages include twins Ziv and Gali Berman, pictured together in Gaza this morning. Israel is releasing hundreds of Palestinians in exchange.

Last year I met Itzik Horn, whose two sons were being held captive by Hamas. Yair was released earlier this year and today I am overjoyed that Eitan is also going home. I cannot imagine the trauma their family has suffered, and I pray they can now start to heal and move forward.

Some of our team in Wimbledon Village today speaking to residents about local issues. Great response to our petition to stop the Mayor of London from closing Wimbledon and Mitcham police station front counters.

Best of luck!
Really chuffed to announce that I’ll be standing for the @scotlibdems in my home town of Greenock, Inverclyde in next year’s Holyrood election. They say all politics is local so it means an awful lot to me to stand in the area I was born and bred in and where my family still live

There are many who voted for Ruth Davidson’s Conservatives who are dismayed to see the party lurching to the extremes, reduced to being Reform-lite. They are looking for a new home and they are finding it with the Scottish Liberal Democrats.
