Why does Sadiq Khan think Sutton needs less affordable housing than the rest of London? 😡😡 Councillor @jakeshort.bsky.social explains the Mayor's recent decision and why we'll be fighting it every step of the way.

It is with profound sadness that Sutton Liberal Democrats announce the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Marian James, who stood down as a councillor in 2026 and died peacefully on Wednesday, surrounded by her family. www.suttonlibdems.org.uk/news/article...

Remembering Marian James

The former Wallington North Councillor and long-standing champion of families in the borough has passed away.

Tonight, Sutton Liberal Democrats backed two motions with a shared purpose: giving residents a stronger voice in the decisions that affect them, from their own neighbourhoods to the way votes are translated into seats. 🧵

Fascinating visit to Zotefoams in Beddington – a global manufacturer employing hundreds of people in our area. They produce high-quality products used in everything from construction and cars to planes and footwear. Great to see a business like this thriving locally.

Very shortly, MPs will be voting on our #LibDem amendment to kickstart negotiations for a UK-EU Customs Union. It's time for Labour MPs to put their money where their mouth is and take a genuine, concrete step towards fixing the Brexit mess. I really do hope they'll walk through the lobby with us.

The people of Sutton have put their trust in the Liberal Democrats once again to keep our borough moving forward - with the largest ever group of Lib Dem councillors elected across Sutton. Thank you to everyone, across every corner of the borough, who backed our ambitious plan for Sutton's future.

Last week we launched our manifesto for the 2026 local elections on May 7th. It's a bold and clear statement of our plans to keep Sutton moving forward. Here's Council Leader Barry Lewis and Deputy Leader Sam Martin explaining why it matters... You can read it here: suttonlibdems.org.uk/manifesto

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage cheered on Trump’s illegal war in Iran, and now we are all paying the price at the pump. We want to cut Fuel Duty by 10p to save families 12p a litre and keep Britain moving.

ICYMI, I wrote about the impact of the war on families in Sutton, Cheam & Worcester Park in my latest column in the Sutton Guardian - www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/2595490...

'Once again events halfway around the world are having an impact on our lives'

Trump's illegal war in Iran is already hitting families with higher prices at the pump. Half-measures and long-term policies won't cut it. We need to slash fuel duty now. Today we have launched our plan to keep Britain moving - including a 10% cut in fuel duty.
