Liberalism means believing every human being has dignity. It means defending liberty and human rights. It means standing up for those with the least power. That’s why I’m a @LibDems — and why I will continue to fight those who scapegoat the most vulnerable in society.

🥀 A week on from the meeting that confirmed the Labour–Tory stitch-up in #Brent. I’ll call it what it is: a coalition. Shame on the Tories for propping up a failing Labour Council — and on Cllr Butt for ignoring residents who want change. 🗞️ Full story: mylondon.news/news/north-lon…

My party’s brave opposition to the Iraq War set us apart from others in 2003. 🔶 Brent voters rejected Labour and chose Sarah Teather, because of our principled stance. In 2026, it’s important to remember that @LibDems have consistently been on the right side of history 🕊️

Broken Brent. Plenty of schemes designed to issue residents with penalties… but potholes like this are still left unfixed… instagram.com/reel/DV0SgCPCP… @antongeorgiou_ @BarbaraWant @Hopkins_Alison

We have serious concerns regarding the proposed Kensal Canalside Opportunity Area, while we support responsible development, the Mayor must step in to ensure residents in neighbouring boroughs like Brent have a say. So today, I called upon him to call in the planning application.
A formal letter from the London Assembly Liberal Democrat Group. The letter is signed by Hina Bokhari OBE AM and addressed to Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London. It raises concerns about the proposed Kensal Canalside Opportunity Area development, including its 11–12 year construction timeline, increased noise, air pollution and traffic, reduced affordable housing from 35% to 20%, pressure on local infrastructure, contamination risks from a former gasworks site, and inadequate consultation with neighbouring boroughs such as Brent. The letter calls on the Mayor to call in the planning application so it can be overseen by the Greater London Authority.

It’s RUBBISH! Who doesn’t get annoyed by littering? Residents in Queen’s Park Ward come out once a month for a community clean-up. #LiveLoveLocal @NW10KTRA @QParkres @QueensParkWard @Hopkins_Alison @bktimes @KensalGreenRA @KensalQueensPk

A Black Labour member claims she was told by a senior member of the local party in Brent, London, that ‘as a Black woman she was the wrong ethnicity to stand for election’ in her own constituency. Fiona Mulaisho has now resigned mylondon.news/news/north-lon…
