Huge Lib Dem victory against sewage dumping!
After almost 2 years of Liberal Democrat campaigning, the Government will at
last ban bonuses for bosses of water companies caught illegally dumping sewage.
Bosses have pocketed millions, while the companies they run wreck the
environment with their actions.

But the proposed ban appears too weak and after years of dragging their feet,
the Conservatives cannot be trusted. Bonuses should be banned today, regardless
of criminal conviction.
So our fight continues. Please add your name to our campaign to stop sewage
dumping for good:
Will you back our Stop Sewage Dumping campaign?

100,000 child hospitalisations for tooth decay
Our research has revealed alarming news about NHS dentistry.
Half of children haven’t seen a dentist in over a year, as families struggle
to secure appointments. And the results are shocking -100,000 children have
been hospitalised for tooth decay since 2018, making it the leading cause of
hospital admission among under-18s.

The Conservatives’ mismanagement of dentistry is appalling and their
announcement of an extra £200 million last week istoo little too late

We propose an emergency scheme for children’s dental check-ups, alongside
other policies, to address this decaying system. Learn about our plans here:

February marks LGBT+ History Month, a time to learn about and celebrate the
stories of LGBT+ people.
LGBT+ people have always been part of our societies, but often their stories
are left untold or hidden.
This month is a chance for those stories to be told and to inspire us in our
ongoing campaign for progress.
We will always champion the rights of all LGBT+ people. As a vital step,
Liberal Democrat Baroness Burt’s bill to ban conversion therapy passed its
second reading in the House of Lords on Friday 9th February.

will face a mortgage hike - that’s 4,000 households every day. For the typical
homeowner with an expiring deal, monthly mortgage payments will surge by £240 -
a shocking 39% rise!

If we're going to secure a fairer deal for Britain and get rid of this
Conservative Government at the next election, Liberal Democrats need to take
seats from the Conservatives across the country.
It couldn't be more important. John, can you donate to our General Election
