I will always use this little-known pawliamentary manoeuvre in order to get the attention I deserve 🐕
Jennie the guide dog (@RtHonJen) puts her paw on Lib Dem colleague Christine Jardine to ensure she gets some important attention during energy security and net zero questions in the Commons.

"We have a Wild West water industry which plays regulators off against each other while our constituents pay the price."
"Isn't the solution obvious to create as the Liberal Democrats propose a new, unified, far more powerful clean water authority?"

I was extremely disappointed to learn that the Health Secretary has excluded Royal Berkshire Hospital from the schemes set to progress in the New Hospital Programme. I want to again call on the Health Secretary to meet with me to discuss how we can ensure the future of our NHS.

Thames Water HQ is in our town. How will fining companies already in difficulty and planning punitive price rises *actually* reduce the sewage in our rivers? 💩
Fines are a gesture. The enforcement action is what's actually needed. And we need a regulator able to do it properly.
Today, we're proposing substantial fines totalling £168 million, in an initial outcome from our investigation into Thames Water, Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water on the management of their sewage treatment works. 1/
