Proud to have worked with a group of teenagers in the UK to make this powerful campaign: bit.ly/3OJ4KIV We worked together for months to create a film influenced by their experiences of poverty. With help from award-winning director @holbrook99. #PotentialNotPoverty

And Cllr Gemma Munday spoke about the incredible work the Council has done to protect children and boost children's services - for the benefit of families and young people across the borough. As she says - very little else could be as powerful a reminder of our values in action.

Children are paying the highest price in today’s wars. MPs across political parties agreed that the UK Government must do more to protect children facing devastating harm in conflicts from Gaza to Sudan, including from the deadly impact of explosive weapons, which are killing children on a horrific scale. The UN Children and Armed Conflict agenda is one of the world’s most important tools for monitoring grave violations against children and holding perpetrators to account. With one in five children now growing up in war zones, the UK must step up. Children have distinct needs and rights, and are often hit first and hardest by conflict because their bodies and minds are still forming. It’s time for the UK Government to publish the UK’s first ever Children and Armed Conflict Strategy to protect children caught in conflict, end impunity, and stop future violations against children.

This Christmas, there’s one delivery that matters more than any. Whether it’s food, shelter or warm clothes, we deliver the chance of childhood all year round. Help children to get what they urgently need this Christmas. Share our ad and donate if you can: bit.ly/4pK5Xk0

One third of ALL council housing building started in London this year has been by Lib Dem Sutton council. A great achievement from the Lib Dem team - but also a reflection that Labour have failed on housing - contributing to our terrible levels of homelessness.

Carshalton Central’s councillor Isabel Araujo highlighted her own experience - and reminded us that it takes courage, perseverance & determination to leave your home country - and that courage and kindness can build bridges stronger than any prejudice.

Welcoming back the CHAMPIONS! 🫡🎊

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.

It was a lot of fun producing this project! I ran a superhero film workshop for children at @RichMixLondon. Thanks to our new @savechildrenuk ambassador @NicholasHoult for dropping by to talk about his latest film Superman🦸

Proud to speak about @SuttonCouncil children’s services last night. Including our commitment to care leavers through ring fencing social housing, council tax exemption until age 25, and events like the Christmas dinner I attended last year - so nobody is alone on Christmas.

Our latest project - children from Gaza documented their stories, hopes and dreams during a workshop at our safe space in Egypt.

I don’t think I will ever take part in a vote where the result is read out in such silence or the exit into Members' Lobby so fraught with emotion. This has been an incredibly challenging and personal experience. I wavered at times but in the end I backed the bill. This is why: suttonlibdems.org.uk/news/ar…

This is the most reprehensible thing I've ever heard from a supposed ally. When people tell you who they are, you should listen to them. Trump backs Putin over Europe.

RT @LaylaMoran: We have been asking for recognition of Palestine for so long. Govt say they will when it's most likely to achieve peace. Bu…

Shockingly, 1 in 4 children in our borough live in poverty. Scrapping the cruel two-child benefit cap is the simplest, most effective way to bring this number down and give kids a fairer start in life. I'll keep pushing for change.

It has been 20 years since the devastating Asian tsunami. At just seven years old, Martunis survived three weeks alone in the wreckage. Save the Children helped locate his father & reunite them after the disaster. His story is one of the most powerful I have collaborated on:
