To the London black cab driver who found me bloodied in the chaos of central London and drove me all the way to Reading: thank you. Thank you for cleaning my face. For the sugary tea at the BP garage. For delivering me safely to my friend's front door and refusing to charge me a single penny. In the trauma of that day, I never asked your name. I don’t think I even thanked you properly, and I am so sorry for that. But I hope you know that I remember you every single year. You were a hero when London needed one most. #SevenSeven #NeverForget #LondonBombings

This number has now increased. Mosques targeted for hate. Let’s be clear - this is unacceptable. Action: Whilst others talk the talk - we carry on with the work with a determination to ensure that hate is countered, highlighted and challenged where we find it.

I am not a Labour voter but what Trump says about Sadiq Khan is rubbish. He keeps pushing the line that London is broken and that Khan is to blame. I live here. I do not just stick to the west of the city where I live, I move around and see it as a whole. London is alive, busy, and brilliant. It is nothing like the picture painted by Trump or the right. Trump is not confused, he knows what he is doing. He plays up division because it suits him. The truth is that London’s strength comes from the mix of people who call it home. Different cultures, faiths, beliefs and backgrounds all live side by side. That is what makes the city powerful and wonderful, and why I think it is the best city in the world. And whilst I do not vote for Sadiq in London, I believe he is a decent man, a man of principle, and that counts for far more than the sneering right who shout down any good he does for their own political gain.

We don’t talk about it much, but we are a nation of carers. The answers to the care crisis can’t just be about tinkering with the formal systems social care as they exist. We must, as a country ask some more fundamental questions about how we can better support families.

Another clip from my chat with @skynews Politics Hub earlier this week about how voters are calling for change⁠ ⁠ The Lib Dems are that other alternative for those who want something different, offering fresh ideas on the issues that matter most to families & communities

Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another. Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”

Richard Gere on the spreading infection of authoritarianism: “I come from America, which is in a very dark place, where a bully and a thug is the president, but it doesn't just happen in the United States - it’s happening everywhere "
