Saturday, I teamed up with Ed Davey to take part in the Big Paddle Clean Up, joining thousands who have been out on the water across the UK to remove litter from their local waterways.

Here on the River Thames in Bisham, the local community do an amazing job keeping their stretch of the river clean and it was great to take part in that yesterday.
But we also know that Thames Water were responsible for over 9,000 sewerage dumps last year. That’s why I’ve called out this scandal and pushed for harsher sanctions on water companies to stop sewage dumping so that waterways like these are safe and clean for everyone to enjoy.
