EU dinner 19: Malta. We spent a long weekend in Malta many years ago and have memories of incredibly ancient ruins and fish dinners by the sea. Today's dinner started with bigilla, a broad bean dip; continued with lampuki (fish) pie; and finished with halwa.
@bbcnickrobinson Anthony Browne did not tell you the truth during your interview this morning. There have been three council by-elections in Cambs. The Tories won 2 seats and the LDs won the other 2. Also there is no congestion charge in Cambs. It is under discussion.
Wonderfully warm out on the doors in Melbourn - in more ways than one! Lots of love for @LibDems, our local hard-working Councillors - and for the hope we bring to #makevotesmatter and win this seat at General Election. Thanks everyone for coming and helping! Join us!
"Thanks for knocking on my door. I want to get more active politically"
"if you're a member you can join me on the doors talking to residents and helping win this seat from the Tories"
"Where do I sign up?"
On 🔥 in Cherry Hinton this afternoon
.@ab4scambs I've responded to @DefraGovUK sandeel consultation to support a ban on industrial trawling for this important fish in English waters. Please lend your support and help save our globally threatened seabirds who rely on sandeels to survive. #SaveOurSeabirds
Today Cambridgeshire MPs and the Conservative government blocked a new law which would have clamped down on water companies found dumping sewage into our rivers, chalk streams and beaches.

Sign the petition: Save the Orangutan, keep Palm Oil ban. The orangutan habitat has been reduced to a few isolated areas of forest. We need to increase orangutan habitat, not threaten it further. https://t.co/xPWM5VMQKc
The Conservative MP for South Cambs has announced he is giving up to find a new constituency at the next election.
He knows that local people are fed up of the Conservative party taking them for granted.
Only Liberal Democrats can win here. Let's send them a message. Join me!
Problem is, Gavin, teaching unions are made up of teachers and this is about their morale, pay, terms and conditions - all the stuff you never supported them on and which is the bedrock of their jobs, careers and the education they provide for all our children.
The voting record of Conservative MP
@ab4scambs shows he has supported:
- diluting of Environment Bill amendment which tried to stop sewage dumping;
- ditching of national water quality target!
- allowing 15 years of sewage pollution in River Mel & chalk streams till 2038
EU dinner 18: Luxembourg. We visited Luxembourg 5 times as we returned to the Moselle cycle route over several weekends. Nestled in the heart of Europe, it felt very connected. Our dinner is bouneschlupp, trout in riesling sauce with potato fritters and quetschentaart.
This afternoon, I tabled a bill in Parliament to protect our right to respectfully enjoy our national parks and wild camp at Dartmoor.
I’m urging the Government to make time to debate my bill, so that MPs can pass the legal changes needed to safeguard our rights.
We’re in the grips of a national scandal, repeated week after week. The Govt needs to establish a CQC inquiry into what is driving these excess deaths & what can be done to prevent them. The public deserves answers, not yet more buck passing. #NHSCrisis

@StephenDrew72@NEUnion@NASUWT Why do they always resort to insults? They didn't like it when Angela Rayner called them scum but they give it out to others.
