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.

Britain's food security and our country's ability to feed ourselves is absolutely vital. Yet we have a Conservative Government that is actively disincentivising food production on good quality, productive agricultural land. The Conservatives must think again.

Outdoor education can help build resilience in young people which will support their mental health. Today I asked the Minister for Schools if he would back my bill which would give every young person in England the opportunity to go on an outdoor education residential visit.

I feel sad for Humza. Politics is a rough business. There’s lots I disagree with him on, but we should be grateful to and for people who are prepared to put themselves in the firing line in order to serve the public. I pray for a time of peace and healing for him and his family.

Wasn’t this completely predictable the moment he sacked the Greens? What else did he think would happen? Maybe I’m missing something…!

After spending the morning talking to farmers at the Crooklands auction mart, I spent a few hours talking to residents in Grange and Allithwaite before going for a run up Cartmel Fell… and came across a very welcome, and remote, supporter!!

A great start to the day listening to farmers at BeefExpo at the fantastic auction mart at Crooklands - and to give support to the vital work of the RABI in supporting farming communities, especially during this time of deep uncertainty. We’re so grateful to you.

“There are millions of people who can’t work, they are desperate to work, but they are stuck on NHS waiting lists.” @Munirawilson on the need to tackle waiting lists, rather than demonise those people who need to take sick leave. #BBCQT

Thanks to @timfarron for speaking up against the changes which will separate countless more British and settled families. Family is a right, not a privilege. #FamiliesBelongTogether

At Parliament to meet @timfarron @NABGC @EssexBGC @andyhamill1 & others in support of a bill that would see every child at primary & secondary school experience a residential trip, a life changing opportunity. Fortunate to be supported by cricketers @ravibopara & @Rolly205

Shocking. After the Lib Dems pushed this to a vote in Parliament today, both Conservative and Labour MPs backed plans to weaken Ofwat. This will help get water firms off the hook.

The Conservative Government's appalling new visa rules will punish people who come to our country and work in our NHS and care for our loved ones, by separating them from their own loved ones. This is a stupid and cruel policy and it must be cancelled.

Frustrating that Rishi Sunak has rejected the European Commission's offer of a youth mobility scheme. This would have helped hospitality businesses here who are struggling to recruit staff, and given our young people fantastic opportunities abroad. The PM should reconsider 👇

Kendal Town FC is a wonderful football club, in the heart of our community, run solely by volunteers. So much money in football is hogged by the Premier League - we need a fairer distribution so that fantastic non-league clubs like Kendal Town can have a bright future.

MPs could attempt to revive FA Cup replays by seeking to amend the Football Governance Bill. Lib Dem MP @timfarron said his proposed amendment would seek to give all competing teams an equal vote in deciding the organisation and rules of the FA Cup.

The decision to scrap FA Cup replays is devastating news for lower league and non-league football clubs who didn't even get a say on this huge decision. That's why I'm putting forward an amendment to the Football Governance Bill which would reinstate FA Cup replays.
