Labour-run @EalingLabour Ealing Council @EalingCouncil has been accused of delaying the closure of its troubled housing companies until after last monthโs (7 May 2026) local elections.
Ealing Liberal Democrat @EalingLD councillors @JonBall @CllrGaryMalcolm said the warning signs had been visible for years and claimed Labour should have acted sooner.

The scenes we saw in Belfast yesterday were horrific, and people are right to be concerned.
The Government must take action against tech billionaires like Elon Musk, who control the divisive and harmful social media algorithms that are inciting violence and hatred.

Ealing Liberal Democrats @EalingLD have selected Abdi Ahmed as their candidate for next monthโs North Acton ward by-election which was triggered after newly elected Green Party councillor Simon Anthony resigned less than two weeks after the 7 May local elections, citing health reasons.

I'm disappointed to see @RupaHuq on this list. A customs union is the first step to rejoining Europe.

Earlier this month, @JonBall was reelected to Ealing Council with 2227 votes, "498" more than he received in 2018 (right).
The World's Heaviest Fruit Crumble weighed 498kg.
In that time, Jon has not "dessert"ed Big Jim's Trims although he is "apple"ying less hairspray!

Ealing and Hounslow residents can breathe a sigh of relief and expect a quieter summer, but it's clearly unfortunate for fans who had already organised accomodation and travel...
Gunnersbury Park #Chiswick loses four out of the five summer festivals planned. Festivals pulled out because they couldnโt get planning permission in time:

Farage says his ยฃ5 million gift was a โrewardโ for Brexit.
The rest of us were rewarded with higher bills and years of chaos.
This grifter must not become prime minister.

๐ถ๏ธ I am delighted to be elected by my colleagues to lead the now larger group of @LibDems Official Opposition Councillors on Ealing Council.
The Liberal Democrats will continue to hold Labour to account, and be the hardworking local champions that our neighbourhood deserves.

A senior Labour figure texts about PM: โHe doesnโt get it. He takes responsibility like my kids take responsibility for leaving towels on the floor of the bathroom, they say sorry then do the same thing the next dayโ

PM interview. How was Starmer? Pretty resolute and unbending
- When asked if 1/ He was Labour's problem, 2/ Is taking responsibility resigning, 3/Is he handing the country to Reform by staying as PM, he had one consistent answer: "I am not going to walk away and plunge the country into chaos". This I read as a clear, and rather defiant message, to those who are privately saying he has to go, basically he's saying come and try it and then see what comes next. There was a bloody minded steeliness in him today
- And as for succession. He also clear he is NOT setting out any timetable to stand down: I will fight the next general election.
- How did he seem? Clearly wanted to show he was putting up fight & listening to activists. He told them it was tough and essentially said he had to better.
But in tone during the interview, he also seemed quite tense and was batting away the Qs with his message to MPs and the party, with little acknowledgement of the predicament he's in. I imagine some MPs will be frustrated and think he doesn't get it - he's going to be doing more in coming days to convince them he does

You are so right. People really need more @LibDems Councillors to halt the decline in Ealing and to hold to the Labour run Council to account.

Really good effort by the teams at Walpole and Ealing Broadway on this Super Saturday/Super Sunday weekend!
People are really fed up with the way things are and want change by getting a stronger opposition to hold Labour to account. #VoteLibDem

At Ealing Common ward election hustings; good natured dialogue with locals and the three parties whoโve represented it in the past. 2 others apparently didnt reply
By coincidence Facebook reminds me I was doing same 11 years ago. As was @JonBall - both somewhat aged since!
