Help save pangolins before they are gone for good. These funny little animals do no harm and have no medicinal value yet they’re the most trafficked mammals in the world Without urgent protection, we could lose them forever. Pls help- Take action now action.ifaw.org/page/173307/pe…
Experts say the non-binding advisory opinion could mark a turning point in international climate law. l.euronews.com/6lz
It's not just about scrapping Ofwat. The government should look at the whole package of Lib Dem proposals, like transforming the water companies into Public Benefit Corporations to stop dumping sewage and invest in their infrastructure before paying out to shareholders.

With Nigel Farage at the Royal Welsh Show today, its worth remembering this is the man who said more lamb from New Zealand was an opportunity and supports idea of selling US chlorine-washed chicken in UK. Reform are no friend to Welsh farming.
David Lammy must realise that we’re past the point of threatening sanctions. Every day the Government sits on its hands, more innocent civilians are being killed in Gaza while over a million are at risk of starvation. Sanctions are needed now, including against Netanyahu.
Liberal Democrats will not stop campaigning until these failing water companies are held properly to account.
#Inflation climbing in recent months, hitting 4.4% on RPI measure. Treasury paid £16.4bn in interest on gilts in June, almost twice the £8.4bn of the same month in 2024, & £2.4bn more than #OBR expected. Govt will use quiet summer to roll pitch for tax rises. @LibDems #tax
The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.
"Our government has been saying for too long that if Israel doesn't act, there will be action. Israel has repeatedly not acted." @CalumMillerLD
We need to make sure that persistent sewage dumpers can be held criminally responsible and introduce a new regulatory with real powers. @EdwardJDavey
"The killing of civilians seeking aids in Gaza is indefensible" The European Union condemned the killing of dozens of people seeking aid in Gaza over the weekend.
With Parliament now in recess & some MPs head to the beach, a reminder that - technically - there’s nothing to stop them doing this all year round while still drawing a salary. A job description for MPs would help to set enforceable minimum standards 👇 youtu.be/LpcpEdA62Gk
Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it. The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.
fishing nets don’t just trap. they kill. Seals are becoming entangled in fishing gear Nauset was found with fishing gear, metal cage and plastics slowly killing him. See how he was rescued and released. Another success for the @ifaw marine team. ifaw.org/uk/projects/en…
For years the Conservatives and Labour sneered at us for raising the sewage scandal. Now finally the government is acting. This is a victory for all those local communities who said enough is enough - but if Labour think it is job done they have got another think coming.
After nearly a decade of negligent Conservative energy policy that sent bills soaring, the right energy policies will be able to send them back down and cut them in half within ten years. Energy policy in service of the British people, not a Farage policy in service of Putin.
Proud to work with @IFAW as committee member and f’rmer trustee. It’s recognised by Kenya’s tourism and wildlife minister who says support from IFAW, &other int’l conservation groups bring benefits to communities, economy, and the environment. topnewskenya.co.ke/2025/07/15/ken…
Every day, the EU supports peace and security through civilian, military and naval missions. 40+ missions since 2003. 4,800+ personnel deployed. From Ukraine to the Sahel and the Red Sea, the EU shows up where it is needed most.
At last, the Government has listened to the Liberal Democrats. Since 2022, we have been calling for Ofwat to be scrapped. But ministers must not stop here, and we will continue to hold them accountable. Britain now needs a new, effective regulator, to stop the sewage scandal.
