This is a vindication of our long-running campaign to clean up our beautiful Windermere and end the sewage scandal.
Liberal Democrats will continue to hold ministers feet to the fire to make sure they honour their promise to protect Windermere.

And Labour have kicked this can further down the road, until 2028, concentrating instead on devolution and government reorganisation as obviously that's more important isn't it 🙄
Across the country, thousands of people in hospital are fit enough to go home, but are stuck awaiting care packages.
You can’t fix the NHS without fixing social care.

"Forming a Customs Union with the EU is the biggest thing we can do to turbocharge our economy long-term."
"But an agreement to work towards one would unlock big economic benefits for the UK now and start tearing down those damaging Conservative trade barriers this year."

A new UK-EU Customs Union, would turbo-charge Britain’s economy.
We can be far more positive and ambitious.
That is how we can protect our economy, defend European security, and deal with President Trump from a position of strength, not weakness.

Let’s not kid ourselves. Donald Trump is a threat to peace and prosperity around the world.
The UK will not be able to depend on the US to be a reliable partner on security, defence or the economy.
How do we deal with Donald Trump? We need to do it from a position of strength.

I wonder when Americans will realise they've elected a mad man as leader of the free world?

Not content with polluting British waters with sewage, and failing to invest in leaky infrastructure, whilst company executives stuff their pockets with bonuses - now they are raising your bills.
The whole thing stinks. It's time to scrap Ofwat and replace it with a regulator with real teeth.
