ALT A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "Cooking should never be left unattended on the hob or grill - if you have to leave the kitchen, turn off the heat. "Be fabric aware – loose clothing can easily catch fire, so take care not to lean over a hot hob, and always keep tea towels and cloths away from the cooker and hob. “Cooking with hot oil can be really dangerous and the risk increases when you start frying food more than once. All it can take is for you to become distracted for a few seconds and your cooking oil can quickly go up in flames.

ALT “Never fill a pan more than one third full of fat or oil and make sure food is dry before putting it in hot oil – oil and water are a dangerous mix. “If the oil starts to smoke, it’s too hot so turn off the heat and leave it to cool. We also advise using an electronic deep fat fryer if possible – they have automatic temperature controls and are much safer. "It's also really important to keep the hob, cooker hood and extractor fan clean too – built up fat and grease can ignite and cause a fire."

She said the Green communications team had asked her to put out an apology but she had refused. “The comms team wanted me to put out an apology and it was like ‘I’m really sorry about what I’ve done’,” she said. “It was so shit, right, and I was like ‘I’m not doing that. I’m sorry I’m not putting my name to that’. I’ll make an apology because there are Jewish people even in the party who might have been upset by it. So I made an apology, but I’m not apologising for that.”

ALT The money raised is redirected into visible neighbourhood services. Half of Labour’s proposed £702,000 cut to the parks budget would be reversed, restoring £350,000 over two years. The Lib Dem argument is that parks are not optional extras but essential green infrastructure for health, biodiversity and climate resilience. After Labour reduced the library budget by £1 million this year, the alternative budget restores £152,000 to the book fund over two years, returning stock investment to its 2023/24 level. It is not a wholesale undoing of the cut, but a targeted attempt to protect the core offer.

ALT Public toilets, long a quiet source of frustration in the borough, also receive attention. The Lib Dem plan commits revenue support to revitalise the Community Toilet Scheme and capital funding for two specialist accessible facilities. The alternative budget also funds a low-mileage parking permit discount scheme, baby boxes for families on council tax support, an LGBT+ care support officer to improve safeguarding in adult social care settings, and a maternal health survey aimed at addressing disparities in outcomes for Black and ethnic minority women.
