Assuming all LGBTQ+ content is inappropriate for children is extremely homophobic.
It’s important to protect children online, but tech firms and legislators must make sure that they don’t lock children out of material they have a right to access – and that the line between “appropriate” and “inappropriate” isn’t discriminatory.
The UK should be leading on this, not falling behind. Recognise the independent state of Palestine now and take the lead on securing a two-state solution and a lasting peace.

I have joined with over 200 MPs urging the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary to recognise Palestine as a state now. The UK should be taking the lead on securing a two-state solution and a lasting peace.
We've been calling on the UK government to recognise the state of Palestine for a long time. Why does the government refuse to do this?

👮We're campaigning to save Southwark's last police front counter. Our Labour Mayor and Government are making it harder to keep our streets cleaner and safe - at a time when we need a return to real community policing. Sign our petition!
This week we hosted some of our local council group support officers. We had some interesting discussions around Section 114 notices, ageing population and the crisis in social care, apprenticeships and the Devolution Bill. Thank you to the LGA staff who gave presentations.
🚨 “You can’t rebuild trust by closing front counters.” Crime is rising and trust in the police is falling — yet Southwark’s last police front counter is under threat. Lib Dems are fighting to save it — and to double local community safety officers. 👇southwark-libdems.org.uk/our-campaigns/…

I’ve written to the Prime Minister urging him to use Trump’s visit to the UK to push for an end to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
Oh come on now…. Southwark council are working really hard to tackle anti social behaviour. Only recently they *checks notes* sent a survey out… it probably took several meeting and at least 5 people a few weeks to put that together….
