Really positive meeting this morning at our national office with our local MP Munira Wilson 🇺🇦 and one of our #WorkFit candidates, Celia, to discuss DSA work and priorities including the SEND crisis and disability employment.

Today the APPG for London (London's Parliamentarians) was formally re-established. We were joined by London MPs and Lords from all parties to elect our new officers and discuss priorities for the year ahead, as we seek to work together to strengthen the capital's voice in Parliament.

Very sorry to have heard about the death of Serge Lourie, former leader of Richmond Council. Richmond Council A great champion for Richmond and a good friend to so many of us.

OneAir is a growing cargo airline in my constituency which, like many other businesses, has had to deal with much more red tape and cost as a result of Brexit. That's why I asked the Business Secretary for reassurances that the aviation sector will be included in EU negotiations

Great to meet Feargal Sharkey and other campaigners who are calling for reform of the water industry. As the scandal of sewage dumping continues and millions of litres of water are lost in leaks every day, it's absurd that water companies want to put up bills yet again.

3.3bn people live in countries that spend more on debt interest than health and education. It was good to speak with international development charities and organisations Christian Aid Debt Justice @cafod on #DebtJustice for lower income countries.

Disadvantage doesn't stop at 16, yet funding for disadvantaged students falls off a cliff edge at 16 and the attainment gap is widening. That's why I asked the Education Secretary what she is doing to address this gap so all young people have access to the same opportunities.

'The Tories are missing in action.' Lib Dem MP Munira Wilson 🇺🇦 tells Andrew Marr that her party will be the one to 'provide a constructive opposition' to Labour.

Delighted to be continuing as Spokesperson for Education, Children & Families. Liberal Democrats will continue to make the case for education being the very best investment we can make in our country's future, ensuring every child can flourish to their full potential.

As I told Sandra Laville The Guardian, we’re getting mixed messages from the government about prioritising water quality at Teddington. We’re told it’s a priority, yet Thames Water 💧’s proposals to pump treated sewage into the river are still in play. Which is it?

Very exciting that this project is starting. It will open up the riverside in Twickenham and create a shared space that the community have wanted for the best part of 30 years! Sign up on the council website to get regular updates.

"I tell you what is the best deterrent, competence." - Tim Farron on #BBCQT Instead of wasting money on failed schemes like the Rwanda Plan, let's process asylum claims quickly. Return those who aren't refugees humanely, and welcome those who are.
