97% of Gaza's water is unfit for human consumption. This week, I asked the Foreign Secretary how the UK will help to ensure that the Gaza peace plan includes measures to restore access to clean and plentiful water. There can be no just peace amidst thirst and squalor.

The fact that the UK is reliant on imports for 45% of its food supply is no longer an economic convenience - it's a national security liability. We desperately need this government to start treating food security as national security. My plea to the Defence Minister👇

Britain has the second-highest tidal range on the planet, behind Canada. And yet we make use of nearly none of it. If we seriously invest in tidal power, then we can create jobs, generate clean and cheap energy, and slash bills. My message to the Government 👇

When I visited Calais and spoke to refugees, none of them had ever heard of the NHS or our benefits system. But they had heard of a Britain which is safe - where you can work hard, raise a family and be who you want to be without fear. Shouldn’t we be proud of that reputation?

People seeking asylum in this country should be able to work here. This would help them to integrate into our society, financially support themselves, and also reduce the cost to the taxpayer.

Britain is not being "swamped" by refugees. There are 19 European countries who take more refugees than we do. But when Conservative MPs use this hysterical language it has consequences - it riles up the far right protestors who scream abuse at terrified people. It must stop.

The Chancellor’s budget is a disaster for tenant farmers. Small family-owned farms will be hit by the changes to inheritance tax and will be forced to sell up, with young people robbed of their opportunity to farm. We’ll be fighting tooth and nail to protect family farms.

The Government will not measure the volume of sewage going into our waterways - only the duration. And guess what? The water companies are delighted. The Liberal Democrats' plans will force water companies to reveal the volume of sewage going into our rivers, lakes, and seas.

Banning care workers from overseas will have devastating consequences for our loved ones who desperately need care, for our care homes who are struggling to recruit the staff they need, and on our already overstretched hospitals.

We have an agricultural policy - created by the Conservatives and maintained by Labour - to disincentivise food production. Not only will this will massively hamper our ability to feed ourselves, but it will also result in us having less farmers to deliver environmental goods.

Upland farmers who farm on common land have found themselves excluded from future agri-environment schemes because the computer software prevents their applications. This is a disaster for hill farmers, our environment, and our tourism economy. I'm fighting to get this fixed.

England is now the only country in Europe that doesn't financially support its farmers to produce food. Surely Trump's conflict in the Middle East and Putin's invasion of Ukraine show how utterly vital our food security is? The Government needs to wake up and back our farmers.

The UK is only 55% food secure. Meanwhile, England is now the only country in Europe where farmers don't receive financial support from its government to produce food. With wars raging across the world, the Liberal Democrats are demanding that the Government take food security seriously

Many people across rural Britain who use heating oil are being hammered with price rises. I've tabled a motion in Parliament that calls for an immediate three-month VAT holiday on heating oil and the introduction of a proper price cap. My interview with the BBC 👇

Cancer patients in South Cumbria travelling to their nearest radiotherapy centre in Preston will now be charged £25 for staying at the hospital overnight. Charging vulnerable people for living too far away from treatment is appalling We need a radiotherapy centre in Kendal now!

Proud to stand alongside farmers today in protest of the Government's devastating changes to IHT. Families will be forced to sell up their farms, with the land going into the hands of the big corporations. This will be a disaster for our food security and for Britain's landscape

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.

The Government's family farm tax will result in hill farmers - many of whom are earning less than the minimum wage - being driven out of business. Farmland will instead be bought by big city corporations - a disaster for our environment, food security, and social justice.

While it's perfectly legitimate for Christians to take different views on regular migration, I think the Bible is very clear about how we should treat refugees. We are taught to love our neighbour and ask ourselves how would we like to be treated if we were in their shoes.

Mountain rescue teams fear they could have to stop providing first aid cover at community events in light of new government proposals to introduce registration fees and inspections. Mountain rescue teams and similar volunteer-led organisations should be exempt from these changes
