Waltham Forest Lib Dems chair @libdemalex86.bsky.social on why we can’t trust anything Labour says!
Council Leader Grace Williams promised a fair deal for Waltham Forest if a Labour government was voted in. Instead, we’ve got more cuts & need an emergency bailout!
Waltham Forest deserves better!
Waltham Forest deserves better and Liberal Democrats will offer a more responsible alternative in May
“Labour likes to boast that Waltham Forest Council is well run and financially responsible. That claim has now completely collapsed as it seeks an emergency government bailout.”
Local people are paying the price for Labour’s financial mismanagement says WF Lib Dems chair @libdemalex86.bsky.social
Waltham Forest Lib Dems chair @libdemalex86.bsky.social documents the extensive problem of #potholes in his local Higham Hill area. This borough-wide issue has resulted in Waltham Forest being given a RED rating for the dire state of its roads. 1/3
The @libdemvoice.org piece introducing the Jenkinsite Group has just been published!
It was submitted last week, so the membership count is slightly out of date (it says we have 94 members, but we're currently at 119).
It's great to see the group launch into the wider Lib Dem family!
And over 100 now! All credit to you @libdemjack.bsky.social for getting this going.
Thanks for creating this group Jack. Hopefully the beginnings of an exciting discussion forum and possibly more…
Britain is not broken. Yes, it can be governed better and Labour has failed since being elected. But it’s not broken. What harms Britain is self-serving, opportunistic politicians like Robert Jenrick whose rhetoric only aims to divide society. His defection only strengthens the need to defeat Reform
Step one to honouring the memory of #RoyJenkins - having him added to the membership card options!
Email Lib Dem Help (help@libdems.org.uk) and request that he be added!

I’m fully in on that idea! I’m just not sure where to begin.
I feel it’s a term that needs to be brought back into common use. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it deserves an historical discussion group on the great man, the social reforms of the sixties, and the ideological views that you have outlined here.
Today is the first day of Hanukkah 🕎, the Jewish Festival of Lights. It should be a day of celebration and joy and yet, instead, Jewish communities everywhere are faced with new heartache following today’s horrific terror attack in Bondi Beach, Sydney. 1/2
Camden New Journal's Richard Osley reports on Camden Labour leader Richard Olszewski fleeing his ward.
The leader of Camden Labour has fled Fortune Green ward (where his colleague is the brilliant Lib Dem Nancy Jirira) to a safer ward across the borough.
Labour clearly feeling scared of the Camden Lib Dems team.
Congratulations!!
Every word! We should protect the BBC’s independence and not give in to the pressure of another leader. No shock to see Truss, Braverman and Dorries call for the licence fee to be scrapped, or that Huddlestone and Badenoch are claiming institutional bias. Davie biased against the right? Come on.
“Today, we remember those who lost their lives in conflict. We wear our poppy—a resilient flower that grew from the torn battlefields—as a symbol of remembrance and hope for a peaceful future…” Alex Lewis @libdemalex86.bsky.social , WFLD Chair

Then fix it.
Ed Davey vows to defend Bank of England against Farage's threats
Echoing Ed’s comments, hoping for healing for the hostage families, whilst also thinking of those families whose loved ones won’t be returning after being killed during this horrific 2 year conflict 🎗️🙏💔
I don’t think we can rule anything out at this point 😂
The bar has suffered there. Each person probably would have bought two more beers if he hadn’t destroyed Humphries with such speed.
#Homelessness is all around us. People are literally dying on our streets! Did you know that 1611 homeless people died in 2024? Walthamstow Lib Dem activist Alan Jones went to a London vigil organised by the Museum of Homelessness (@ourmoh.bsky.social ) on Thursday to highlight this tragedy🧵1/4
“A phased removal would help mitigate the financial impact on residents”.
An absolute insult. What would help mitigate the financial impact is a reversal of this decision!
It's notable how different this 'fragmentation' is from, e.g., that of first half of 2019, which saw big gains for independents too. Now it's much more repolarisation around two different parties rather than across the board fragmentation.
Waltham Forest Council leader: 'We need to make £15m in cuts this year'
Grace Williams has said financial pressures on the town hall's budget are only getting 'tougher and tougher'

We echo our Diversity Officer @faizlibdem.bsky.social statement by extending our thoughts and prayers to the victims of today’s heinous attack outside a synagogue in Manchester on the holiest of days for Jews, Yom Kippur.
“Acts of violence or hatred will never succeed in dividing us.”
