Happy #womensday to all the amazing inspiring women I have the privilege to know! #wonderwomen #InternationalWomensDay

It’s Holocaust Memorial Day. This year, I’m thinking of a woman called Sulamita Szapiro. Here she is as a student. We weren’t related and I don’t even know much about her, but I’m pretty sure that remembering her still falls to me. This is a thread about why.

Great day yesterday, so good to meet so many new people in my new office! Loving being based in the North again! 😀

Our new @beisgovuk site in Salford is now officially open! We’re bringing hundreds more top civil servant jobs from the capital. We're drawing on the excellent local workforce here to develop and deliver our plans to combat climate change and drive clean growth.

🆕 £5k grants for heat pumps & other low carbon heating. By 2030 heat pumps should cost the same as gas boilers. Reducing our dependency on fossil fuels & exposure to global price spikes. Full Heat & Buildings Strategy 👉 gov.uk/government/new… #TogetherForOurPlanet

@aardvarknsefce @UniofNottingham @londongrammar pretty cool alumni ......

++THREAD++ Analysis: The UK is now halfway to its ‘net-zero emissions’ target, after a record-breaking 11% decline in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. The fall means the UK’s domestic greenhouse gas emissions are now 51% below 1990 levels. j.mp/3f4OOAz 1/7

@aardvarknsefce @ChrisGPackham @BBCSpringwatch WOW!

Sheffield will move into the Very High (tier 3) category under the government's COVID-19 local alert system. The restrictions will come into force from 00:01 on Saturday 24 October. Full details of the restrictions here: sheffnews.com/news/sheffield…

@RobCheesus Rob, have a word with yourself would you? You shouldn't be putting up with this appalling situation when the internet can provide.

@paulgarbett @Hudsonweather that's what I was going to say

@Hudsonweather If you’re eco-conscious, consider a decent electric patio heater. Way more energy efficient than heating the air with gas.

I realise patio heaters are not environmentally friendly, but as I can only safely see my elderly parents in the garden under current restrictions, unless I want them to freeze to death its really the only solution!

@selvinbrownmbe @beisgovuk Welcome to BEIS!

Today was my first day in my new role! Very excited to be joining the fantastic team @beisgovuk as the new director for net zero buildings delivery. So, so excited, it’s been like a first day at school finding out all the new things, and how everything works. Wish me luck 🤓

@aardvarknsefce @nationalrailenq Catching a train myself later for the first time since March!
