Councillor @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social has highlighted the hypocrisy of Labour over the two child welfare cap.
Earlier this year ALL Southwarkโs Labour councillors voted to keep the benefit cap.
Putting their party ahead of 35% of children growing up in poverty

Imagine being turned away from a bathroom, hospital, or cinema for โnot looking female enoughโ. The leaked EHRC guidance could do just that. Along with my Lib Dem colleagues, Iโve written to the Minister calling for new, inclusive, practical guidance that protects everyoneโs rights.
Thank you @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social for joining a packed Lewisham @libdems.org.uk AGM last night ๐งก
Positive politics continues in South East London heading into Mayโs massive council elections ๐ถ
@southwarklibdems.bsky.social
Fantastic result! @joshbabarinde.bsky.social is an absolute star, and I know will help the Lib Dems reach even more people, and achieve more success as a party, especially in Labour-facing areas. The @southwarklibdems.bsky.social are really looking forward to working with you, Josh. Congratulations!
Thanks to @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social and Liberal Democrat team on the LGA Neighbourhoods Committee, for continuing to push for a statutory duty for councils on climate change and funding and resources needed to deliver real climate action for and in our communities

This week I took a walk around Southwark with the police and fantastic local Lib Dem team - including @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social
We are absolutely clear across London - the Govt and Mayor must give the Met the funding they need to keep stations open, recruit more officers, and keep us all safe.
Earlier in Westminster Hall I spoke on the need to build the next generation of green, affordable, safe homes for Londoners - and to end the broken leasehold system altogether.
Today's announcement on housing targets in London is infuriating.
The Mayor and Govt are effectively handing developers a get-out, and Londoners on waiting lists across our city will suffer.
This will not solve our housing crisis.

Great to have such a strong team from @southwarklibdems.bsky.social at London Lib Dem Conference today, and proud to be hosting it here in Southwark.
We're here to raise awareness of Labour's unfair funding cuts to local government in London, and the urgent need for more investment in policing.
Great to see this from Councillors Victor Chamberlain and Graham Neale in #RecycleWeek2025
The top 6 councils in England for recycling are all run by the Liberal Democrats!
For #recyclingweek, Cllr Victor Chamberlain and Cllr Graham Neale visited Southwark's reuse and recycle centre to see how our waste is recycled.
Latest government stats show Southwark only recycles 30% of our waste - the top councils are Lib Dem run!
People sometimes ask: what do the Lib Dems actually stand for? Over the next few weeks weโll be sharing what liberalism means to our councillors and activists โ in their own words.

Yesterday, I joined @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social for a Q&A and viewing of Suffragette at TheArzner Cinema.
A powerful reminder of the importance of our right to protest and how we must continue to protect this right.

This is unacceptable. While across London child homelessness has been stable, under Labour in Southwark it's risen by 77%.
Labour's failure to get a grip on the housing crisis in our borough is shameful. No child should be growing up without a safe, secure home.

Devon Mansions: 2 years late. ยฃ4 million overspent. Still unfinished.

Over 900 people joined us for our biggest ever Pride in Southwark. ๐
We marched in joy and protest โ from Borough & Bankside to Budapest โ for a borough thatโs safe, proud & inclusive all year round.
Weโre calling for Southwark to become a Trans Sanctuary Borough. ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ

๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ Pride in Southwark is TOMORROW!
Join the march from 12pm at the London LGBTQ+ Centre, then head to Mint Street Park (just behind Borough Tube) for an afternoon of music, performances and joy from 1pm.
Iโm so proud to chair this brilliant celebration โ see you there! Everyone welcome.

New figures uncovered by the Lib Demโs show that in Southwark, 6,000 people could lose their PIP payments.
This is an astonishing betrayal of disabled people in Southwark. In July's council assembly, we're giving Labour one last chance to decide who's side they are onโฆ

Last month, the Prime Minister used worrying language - referring to an "island of strangers"
Those who've chosen to make Southwark their home are not strangers to us
We've drafted a letter to urge him to reconsider his language
