This week my London Liberal Democrat colleagues and I wrote to the Chancellor to demand she use the budget to get urgent funding to the Met Police.
There are so many challenges facing policing in London - and the Govt and Mayor simply aren't equipping them with what they need to keep us all safe.

I worked with Janet at the DfE - she was my fellow policy adviser (supporting Lib Dem ministers). She was brilliant and cares more about local government than anyone I've ever met so if you happen to live in her ward do vote for her.
Proud to join friends from across London in West Hampstead on Saturday to support the brilliant Janet Grauberg in the by-election happening on 28th August.

We need to encourage the Council to protect local shopping parades like this (and similar across our borough).
They're vital places where people bump into neighbours, meet friends, shop, grab a coffee or pizza, get a haircut, hang out. Our communities would be poorer without them.

The PM is right to increase defence spending - however cutting international aid is cutting soft power, which only plays into the hands of Russia and China.
@libdems.org.uk believes this money could be raised fairly by raising taxes on social media firms and tech giants.
