It takes guts to set out your own experience of an issue when that account is still confronting to the wider public. 👏🏼 ⁦@davidwoode⁩ ⁦@thetimes⁩ I’ve been stopped and searched by the police since I was 16 thetimes.co.uk/article/616a65…

Delighted to meet with my good friend Xie Zhenhua, China's Special Envoy for Climate Change, for a wide-ranging discussion on the important 🇨🇳-🇺🇸 Sunnylands Statement on climate cooperation – as well as China's & other countries' efforts to achieve a positive outcome at #COP28

With the Conservatives 22 points behind in the polls, 30 MPs this week calling for no new taxes, and less than eight months before a potential election in May, Rishi Sunak does not have much room for manoeuvre, @chrisjvenables tells @sandywarr. @LBCNews | @GreenAllianceUK

Er, really .. govt already deemed to be off track by @theCCCuk for its later carbon budgets on the basis of its strategy including all these things. So looking forward to RS laying out how more delays are compatible with still hitting net zero.

Contrary to the latest Daily Mail campaign, @Jacob_Rees_Mogg tells @JamesRCourt that Tata's investment in a new gigafactory to make electric vehicles is “great news for Somerset and great news for Great Britain.” @GBnews @EVAEOfficial @TataCompanies @JLR_News

What’s the point of energy price support that lets heat pour out of our homes. In Germany, the average home loses 1°C of its indoor temperature after 5 hours. In Sweden, Denmark, Austria & Italy its 1.5°C or less. In Britain, we lose double - a draining 3°C heat. HT @tado

Come down and make your case for keeping common land open to everyone. This is the last chance to make the case to government planners. This Monday night at 7pm. The Woodfield Pavilion, #TootingCommon #TootingEnclosure #Balham # Wandsworth #Tooting

A thrill to see the irrepressible Peter Seabrook celebrated so widely at the Chelsea Flower Show today. His sparkling wit hid a great intellect and a talent for inspiring young people and communities. Always finding the extraordinary where others saw ordinary. #floralfantasia

Delighted to be part of the team who put this together.

Perhaps his partner, No 10 Press Secretary, Allegra Stratton?
