As someone who was a carer for a loved one, this resonates with me profoundly; and with so many others, I'm sure.
Thank you,
@EdwardJDavey

Caring isn’t just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love.
Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light.

Our community owes Ted so much for his activism as part of the original
#GayLiberationFront
Lambeth is home to London’s largest LGBTQ+ community, the UK’s 2nd
For reasons like this, I created
@LambethLinks
Our Trustee Clare Truscott has been a driving force in Ted’s case
Told 'not to kiss' his partner as it wouldn't be 'a safe thing to do'.
Ted's partner was abused in a care home because of his sexuality - as we reveal a report finding hundreds of cases of elderly people experiencing homophobic or transphobic attacks in care settings

Instead, it was Keir Starmer’s diktat to the

, not the needs of Londoners.
We need more Lib Dems in City Hall, more vote share in May 2024 to get them.
We must connect with more communities.
Mayor finally accepts

This is what happens when

E-bikes and scooters left without regard, must be removed by their operators in a given time or they will be fined.
I’m sure the tech exists so that a ride cannot end their ride unless the bike / scooter is in an appropriate spot.

This paradoxically results in a desire for more cars for more tolls or higher tolls if there are fewer cars.
We need an integrated strategy starting at the pavement. 1
