Last year in Flookburgh I was heartbroken to meet a man and his 7-year-old daughter who hadn't been able to see her mum for 8 long months because of cruel Home Office rules. A year later and I'm so glad to say that after loads of hard work we managed to get the family reunited.

On the day that it was revealed that 10 million litres of sewage had been dumped into Windermere, Conservative MPs still chose to vote against my proposal to criminalise these acts of pollution. Liberal Democrats will continue to stand up for tough action on sewage dumping.

A new spectacular view of Westminster tonight. We are talking about the illegal discharge of raw sewage into Windermere. @timfarron calls for criminal charges for water bosses who fail to stop pollution. The PM warned water companies to clean up their act @GranadaReports

Proud to put forward amendments to the Criminal Justice Bill which would make water bosses personally criminally liable for failing to meet sewage performance measures. I hope Conservative & Labour MPs stand up for our precious lakes and rivers by voting for my amendments today.

I am urging Conservative and Labour MPs to back my amendment so water firms can no longer escape justice for their environmental vandalism. My amendment tonight can bring justice to swimmers, wildlife and our environment.

The speaker has selected @timfarron 's amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill to make water bosses personally criminally liable for failing to meet sewage performance measures. All eyes now on Labour. Apt timing given today's Windermere news...

This sewage dumping is a total scandal. We can't keep letting these water companies off the hook. If parliament is serious about stopping the sewage scandal, they will accept @TimFarron 's amendment today, which could see water company bosses prosecuted for sewage pollution.

A shocking BBC investigation has found that millions of litres of raw sewage were illegally pumped into Windermere earlier this year. Today, I'm putting forward an amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill which could see water company bosses prosecuted for sewage pollution.

If I’d been offered this deal when I was 9: Rovers will be average for a decade or so, then they’ll be good-to-brilliant for 20 years, best in the country, win the league & league cup, play in Europe… then be painfully mediocre thereafter. I’d 100% have taken it. Thanks Jack!

Without farmers to deliver them, the best environmental policies in the world are just plans sat in a drawer. If we want to protect our environment and produce the food our country needs to feed ourselves, then we need to keep farmers farming.

BREAKING: @TimFarron will table an amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill on Wednesday to criminalise water bosses who fail to crack down on their disgusting sewage spills. This new change in the law would deliver justice for swimmers, wildlife and our natural environment.

A youth mobility visa scheme with European countries would help hospitality businesses here who are struggling to recruit staff, and give our young people fantastic opportunities abroad. Today in Parliament, I urged ministers to put the needs of the country above their ideology.

Instead of talking at people, Rishi Sunak should be listening to the public by calling a General Election. Families are fed up with NHS failures, sewage scandals, and inaction on the cost of living crisis. This Conservative Government is out of touch and running out of road.
