Today marks 100 days since Colin Ferguson was elected Leader of #Newcastle City Council.
Newcastle Liberal Democrats promised you would see a difference in your communities through your front window and we've got started doing exactly that.
100 days in, plenty done, plenty more to do.

The call came after comments made by the councillor during a debate on anti-racism.

Our Sec of State for Energy was born in Liberia & came to the UK as an asylum seeker with her family
This shows what a wonderfully diverse society we live in where people can make it to the top of their chosen sector

This is racism, straight out of the Trump playbook. Reform are trying to turn our great country into a franchise of Trump's America.
There are countless British patriots who came here from overseas, many of them refugees we proudly welcomed. That's the kind of country we are.

#Newcastle has a very special reason to remember Dolly Parton. ❤️📚
While the world will remember a music icon, here in Newcastle her legacy can also be found in the homes of thousands of children through her Imagination Library.
Our thoughts are with Dolly’s family and everyone mourning her loss. ❤️

Council leader Colin Ferguson had backed hospitality venues and called for the end to the Late Night Levy.
#Newcastle is just one of two cities outside London that has retained a version of the levy.
Now the Lib Dem-led council's licensing committee has agreed that the levy should be revoked.
