Guantanamo prisoner Shaker Aamer and his family are my constituents as MEP. In that capacity and as a human rights campaigner who helped establish the European Parliament inquiry into "extraordinary rendition", I am outraged that Shaker has been incarcerated in Guantanamo for a decade in total denial of due process.

Dear Friends,

Byelection successes and Sutton's Worcester Park

We are doing pretty well in byelections, and you can see in this article in the Independent, we made three gains in the past month alone, two of these landslide gains from the Conservatives.

London has just added to that success, with great hard work paying off as the LibDems sailed to victory in the Worcester Park byelection. Candidate Roger Roberts and the team secured a convincing hold against a strong Tory challenge, and there was even a 3% swing to us. It has been a great team effort from across the region. Here I am pictured with Roger, Sutton MP Paul Burstow and others from the local team. The message is of course that where we work, we win! On which note, I will be in Brent for the Dollis Hill byelection on Sunday as well as in Richmond on Saturday campaigning on crime.

London Liberal Democrat MEP Sarah Ludford has welcomed the endorsement by a majority of MEPs for the European Parliament to end the 'travelling circus' to Strasbourg in favour of one permanent seat, which would be in Brussels.

Voting on EU budget guidelines for 2013, MEPs also decided to freeze their own allowances until mid-2014 and cap their travel budget at its present level in line with their demand that all EU institutions cut their administrative spending.

Liberal Democrat European justice & human rights spokeswoman and London MEP Sarah Ludford has welcomed the adoption by the European Parliament today of a resolution condemning the controversial new Hungarian constitution.

Sarah Ludford commented:

"The European Commission and Hungary's fellow EU governments have been slow to act on the blatant erosion of civil liberties in Hungary taking place under Viktor Orban and his right-wing ruling party. They have twiddled their thumbs as Orban misused a two-thirds parliamentary majority in parliament to restrict dissenting journalism, suborn independent bodies and entrench discrimination and party hegemony through a highly partisan constitution."
