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?

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.

In 1945, almost half of the children who survived the Nazi death camps made a new life for themselves on the banks of Windermere. - where the fantastic Lakes School now is. We are working to build an exhibition about the Windermere Children alongside a rebuilt Lakes School 👇

Hill farmers are facing crippling costs and severe cuts to their income. But many aren't able to receive Universal Credit because they don't earn the minimum wage every month. I'm glad the Minister for Employment has agreed to meet with me to discuss how we can support farmers.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
