Rejoin the Customs Union. Rejoin the Single Market. The Liberal Democrats have been saying it for a long time. It is good to see Andy Burnham is listening. @hinabokharild.bsky.social

Such a privilege to visit the Gardens of Peace Muslim cemetery in Havering. But like the rest of London, this cemetery is rapidly running out of space. I'm calling on the Mayor to do better and have a plan to tackle this looming crisis of burial space in London.

Britain feels broken because it is being held back. People feel powerless, and they can't hold the powerful to account. Liberal Democrats want to change our politics so that, together, we can fix our country.

What's in a name? Apparently nothing when it comes to TfL's new Sustainable Access Measure, which doesn’t include cycling – sustainable transport – or measure if those journeys are actually accessible. So I asked TfL when they plan to change it..."No timescale".

Unlimited donations from unaccountable sources are a threat to democratic integrity. We're calling on the Government to introduce emergency legislation to cap political donations. Last week we raised this in the Commons. This week we've chased the minister again, because this cannot wait.

Sadiq Khan would be right to look at wood burning. It's a major source of harmful PM2.5 pollution. Only a tiny minority actually rely on it for heating. We should be looking seriously at phasing it out, with support for those who depend on it www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consum...

There are serious concerns about Palantir's involvement with grave human rights abuses. Now the litigious tech giant is also suing the Mayor's Office for Police and Crime. Today we fought for the London Assembly to agree we should keep Palantir out of our NHS and out of the Met Police.

Sadiq Khan's promise of 50% of tube stations being step-free by 2030 isn't looking good - yet today his Deputy Mayor insisted that's still the promise. Let's hope TfL pull their finger out because this level of access just isn't good enough.

Across London, car and bike meet ups are causing so much distress to residents. That's why the Liberal Democrats have written today to the Met, asking for an update on what they are doing to tackle the problem and whether they have the resources they need.
Page one of a letter from London Assembly Liberal Democrats Hina Bokhari AM and Gareth Roberts AM to Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, dated 4 September 2026, titled “Tackling dangerous and anti-social car and bike meets in London”. The letter raises concerns about organised car and motorbike meets, including weekly gatherings in Alperton involving dangerous riding, excessive engine revving and littering. It welcomes recent Met enforcement action, including the seizure of 90 vehicles in Hyde Park and Kensington and Chelsea, and asks what operational activity is taking place across London and how strengthened Section 59 vehicle-seizure powers are being used.Page two of the London Assembly Liberal Democrats’ letter to Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley about dangerous and anti-social car and bike meets. It asks whether the Met is systematically using residents’ video footage, CCTV and ANPR; how it is tackling cloned or false number plates; what support is being given to boroughs seeking High Court injunctions; and whether the removal of dedicated anti-social behaviour officer roles has reduced specialist capacity. The letter calls for a stronger, coordinated London-wide response and is signed by Hina Bokhari OBE AM and Gareth Roberts AM.

The Mayor has the power to use the TfL network to get important public health messages in front of millions. So today I asked: why not use some of that advertising space to warn people about the health risks of wood-burning stoves, rather than more self-promotion? @mumsforlungs.bsky.social

Nine years after Grenfell, disabled Londoners are still telling us they fear being trapped in their homes if there is a fire. New evacuation-plan rules do not cover everyone who needs them. Fire safety cannot depend on an arbitrary building-height threshold. www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-...

A sixfold rise in anti-Muslim hate in London. Dehumanisation of Muslims now an everyday occurrence. Threats of violence high. So why is there still no explicit Islamophobia training in organisations like the Met and TfL? London can and must do better. www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-...
