Why do we have to choose between new homes and clean water?

BREAKING NEWS: Rishi Sunak’s SpAd has hit back at Keir Starmer's ‘Inaction Man‘ gag and called him - wait for it - a ‘man of action’.

But first, Labour is voting against the government’s bill to build more new homes.

Why?

Because the Tories say they would rip up old EU environmental regulation to get morew homes built. Do we really have to choose between the two? Conservatives argue the ‘nutrient neutral ‘ regulations are out dated. Labour says it’s ridiculous to wait 13 years for a solution which then endangers the land.

And Later we give the Lib Dems the right to respond to the row over the by-election in Nadine Dorries' old seat.
