Saturday 25 May Teddington RNLI Lifeboat Station will celebrate the charity’s 200th birthday with an Open Day 2-5 pm & a rare chance to see historical former Whitby lifeboat, the William Riley which 25 crew from the 4 Thames RNLI Stations will row from Gravesend to #Teddington !

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.

Thanks to the inspirational Katherine Greening & her team for showing me the Whitton hub of Anstee Bridge. They're doing vital work to support young people not in school & struggling with their mental health. Demand is sadly growing and we need to expand this service.

Really happy to hear Munira Wilson MP 🇺🇦 make the point I try to make all the time - we need to stop seeing children as a cost line and start to see children as an investment #APPGChildren #ChildrenAtTheTable

Great to work cross party on today's amendments. Real progress on this issue.

BREAKING: Commons back Lib Dem amendment to exclude MPs arrested for serious offences.

MPs have voted to back amendments by Wendy Chamberlain MP , ensuring MPs accused of serious offences are excluded from the Parliamentary estate at the point of arrest, rather than only when charged.

Well done Wendy Chamberlain MP 👏🏽. I know lots of staff who work in Parliament are so grateful for your work on this.

“The idea that this system is working is just wrong & if ministers are just listening to what carers are telling them, they’ve really got to reform the whole system”

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey MP tells #Newsnight that carers are exhausted:

It is immoral that in 2024 children are still having to learn whilst hungry. That is why the Liberal Democrats would extend free school meals, starting with every child in poverty to ensure children have access to a balanced meal at school.

There are a number of areas in Twickenham that breach air quality standards, including some near schools. With pollution across London worryingly high, I called out the Government's decision to cut local air quality grants, including to Richmond Council.

It's an honour to lead the London Liberal Democrats on the London Assembly.

To women of all backgrounds, I hope that I can offer hope that barriers are being broken & politics is becoming more representative of the society we live in.
