The Liberal Democrats have today called on the Government to “equip Tower Hamlets
Council with the financial resources needed” to accommodate all rough sleepers locally.

At the 2020 Budget Meeting for Tower Hamlets, Councillor Rabina Khan called out Labour's stealthy Council Tax Hike, failure to make promised savings, and supported the petitioners calling to save the Community Land Service.

At the first full Council meeting of 2020, Liberal Democrat Councillor Rabina Khan supported calls for a Judicial Review into Westferry Printworks, and called for a cross-party group to find "common solutions that will lift families out of poverty, make benefits accessible and create a brighter future" for Tower Hamlets.

The Liberal Democrats in Tower Hamlets doubled their vote share in last week's General Election, now nipping the heels of the Conservatives in Poplar & Limehouse - and ready to act as the main challengers to Labour.

Commenting on the fact that Tower Hamlets Council will launch an investigation into Apsana Begum (the Labour Parliamentary Candidate for Poplar & Limehouse), Andrew Cregan – the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Poplar & Limehouse – said:

“Poplar & Limehouse residents are already very concerned that the Labour Party has put forward a hard-left candidate whose only experience in politics appears to be as an adviser to Lutfur Rahman, the disgraced and corrupt former Mayor of Tower Hamlets removed from office by the High Court.

On Monday evening members from across Tower Hamlets gathered for the 2019 AGM. Members heard from Councillor Rabina Khan about her work holding the Council to account, and from Josh Babarinde (PPC for Bethnal Green & Bow) and Andrew Cregan (PPC for Poplar & Limehouse) about 2019's historic general election.

Tower Hamlets Lib Dems welcome the general election being called as the best opportunity to Stop Brexit.

Lib Dems are ready to stand on a clear platform: a Liberal Democrat government would Revoke Article 50, retain Britain’s place in Europe and get on with tackling the issues that have been neglected for the last four years.

Tower Hamlets Liberal Democrats have selected two new Parliamentary Candidates: Josh Babarinde for Bethnal Green & Bow, and Andrew Cregan for Poplar & Limehouse in preparation for a snap General Election.

The London Liberal Democrats have launched their campaign to elect Richard Flowers to the City & East Greater London Assembly seat. The constituency - which covers parts of Tower Hamlets, Newham and the City - voted heavily for pro-EU parties in the 2019 European elections in 2019 and the party believe they have a strong chance of taking the seat in the London elections next year.

A very happy Pride from all of us at Tower Hamlets Liberal Democrats! As we celebrate 50 years since Stonewall, this is an important chance for us to celebrate the progress that has been made - and a time for us to redouble our efforts in the fight for equality.
