Some positive news on Easter Sunday.
Wera Hobhouse, the Lib Dem MP who was rejected entry to Hong Kong to meet her baby grandson, has managed to meet him just in time for Easter at a halfway point between the UK and Hong Kong

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. RT if you agree 🌳
Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey says carers are being "punished for working", and asks the PM to resolve this matter
Keir Starmer says he will work across the House to create a national care service

We knew every river in England is polluted
The new government must now say how fast they'll deal with this Tory legacy, why @EnvAgency couldn't reveal or fix it, so no government can threaten water supply again as climate change bites.

Liberal Democrats are calling for an immediate bilateral ceasefire to put an end to the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza and get the hostages home.
We need to think not only about achieving a ceasefire in Gaza, but also how we stop this from ever happening again. This week, @LaylaMoran asked the Foreign Secretary to immediately recognise the state of Palestine.
Please say no to garden poisons such as pesticides and weedkillers, to help keep them out of the food chain. Hedgehogs, for example, can eat over 100 invertebrates every night.

Water company bosses shouldn't be bringing in huge bonuses, while hiking bills for customers and filling our rivers and lakes with sewage.
It's time to clean up this Wild West water industry.
Thank you Gareth for giving us memories of a lifetime, from actually winning a penalty shoot out to that Bellingham overhead kick.
Your leadership gave hope to the country and inspired the next generation.
We are putting the NHS at the heart of our priorities, calling for an emergency Health and Social Care Budget without delay.
After years of Tory mismanagement and neglect, the Labour government now needs to grasp the nettle and give the NHS the support it desperately needs.
We won’t be playing party political games with social care. Instead, it is time for cross-party talks on how we fund these services, where tough but essential decisions are needed.
And above all else, unpaid carers must finally be brought out of the shadows and truly supported.
And there is @ofwat’s contemptuous sleight of hand exposed.
Nothing but more insult for bill payers and customers.
@SouthernWater bills up 60% by 2030.
@DwrCymru 40%
@YorkshireWater 36%
@thameswater 35% and on and on…
They are truly taking us for fools!!!
Disgusting, disreputable, degrading the role of directors in UK company law.
@LibDems asked for a vote to replace @Ofwat with teeth to make water companies operate for public good.
@UKLabour calls in Chief Execs. Regulator acts hours earlier than new Environment Minister can.
Increases in SE Water’s customers’ water bills are unacceptable when the company has paid out more in dividends and interest than it has in investing in OUR water network.
Here, I take our campaign to Parliament 👇
After years of Conservative Ministers letting these shameful polluters get away with it, we need action.
Starting with a ban on bonuses and blocking large bill hikes.
26 of these @LibDems MPs are @GreenLibDems. This includes our water sports, sewage ending Leader @EdwardJDavey.
That's six plus times more than the @TheGreenParty with other expertise. Did you vote Green, get a Tory MP? Check out your LibDem candidate at every election. Join us
It's time the regulator started blocking Thames Water's planned dividend payouts and eye-watering bill hikes.
Years of inaction from Conservative Ministers has lead to this.
It is clear the public want action on this rogue firm. The government should listen.
