Anglian Water Sewage Dump

Call for Sewage Tax on Anglian Water after £391 million profit revealed

Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats have called for a 'Sewage Tax' on water companies to fund the cleaning up of rivers polluted by sewage dumps. This comes after new research revealed that water companies are discharging raw sewage into the River Great Ouse and other local rivers at an alarming rate, and the Conservative government have refused to do anything about it. The Liberal Democrats are calling for a tax on water companies huge profits to improve our sewage system, protect wildlife and save our rivers and lakes.

Incompetent Home Secretary's latest inhumane proposal!

Priti Patel has proposed sending asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing. B & H liberal Democrats echo the description of politicians who describe the idea as "evil and inhumane". How can a civilised country choose to send such people all the way to an African country for processing. According to the Guardian newspaper "Andrew Mitchell, the Conservative MP for Sutton Coldfield and a former chief whip, said the new approach was "globally unprecedented" and raised questions around how it would work and how the government would safeguard human rights." B & H liberal Democrats call for Home Secretary to be sacked. Australia abandoned the policy of sending refugees abroad as a failure. So how does Priti Patel think it is going to work? It is one more example of just how incompetent a Home Secretary she is proving to be and calls into question why she is allowed to continue to hold office.

Rwanda: Total dysfunction at the Home Office

Just when you think Conservatives have hit rock bottom, they stoop to a new low. No doubt this latest press announcement (during Parliamentary Recess notice) is designed to detract from the #Partygate scandal and Johnson's failure to resign as well as creating deliberate electorate division in the run up to local elections being held on 5th May in some parts of England.

Another Tory Minister Resigns!

B & H Liberal Democrats praise the action of Lord David Wolfson in resigning from the government, as he described the government's "repeated rule-breaking and breaches of the criminal law" as the reason he could no longer remain a minister. B & H Liberal Democrats commented that as another Minister resigns the Tory government is increasingly exposed as a bunch of charlatans who knowingly lie to the country in order to cling to power, which they then repeatedly abuse.

B & H Lib Dems call on Johnson to resign over his Partygate lies to Parliament.

B & H liberal Democrats repeated Ed Davey's call last night for Boris Johnson to show respect to the country and resign from Office as PM, and to also stand down as an MP. His continual lies to Parliament and the country over his flouting of the law relating to Covid lockdowns, shows total contempt for the people in the face of the enormous sacrifices they made as they followed government mandates to remain isolated and not visit sick and dying relatives.
