Hello! I'm Gail Kent, East Dulwich resident and now Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate. I needed to do something after the 23rd of June last year, so I decided to stand for Parliament. James Barber was my nominator. I didn't expect it to happen so soon! The party is still uploading the biographies of each of the candidates, so a bit about myself: I have lived here for almost 20 years and love the area's vibrancy, energy and its naturally liberal feel. I am married to Tim and our two children attend local state schools. For 17 years I worked for the National Crime Agency, working alongside our international partners, including Europol, to keep our country secure. I served for four years at the UK embassy in Rome, investigating the mafia and people traffickers. Now, I lead on global security policy at Facebook. I believe I have diplomacy and leadership skills needed to stand up for our values in Parliament, honed in high-pressure environments. It was the Brexit referendum that made me want to really do something about the state of our politics. As I said, I decided to stand for Parliament to continue the Liberal Democrat fight for a Britain that is open, tolerant and united: the sort of Britain that Dulwich and West Norwood stands for. I'm on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter at @libdemgail and my email is [email protected]. I'm happy to answer any questions and to also come and talk to any groups/ get togethers or associations.

Thanks guys! I'll try the bike shop first.

Hi guys, My Maclaren Quest has lost a screw, one of the ones that keeps the side bar fixed to the frame. It really is only a screw, and I'm loathe to go all the way down to Carshalton to get it repaired - now the nearest official repairer. The official service is also only available 9 -15, Mon-Friday. Not so good for a working mum... Do you know of anyone where I can get repaired locally? Thanks!
