Great to host @UCL alumni tonight to celebrate 200 years since its founding. London’s 1st university, the 1st in England to admit women and the 1st to admit students regardless of race, class or religion. 33 Nobel laureates later it’s one of the world’s top 10. Proud alum!

This is a big deal for the UK and with international investors to the fore, demonstrates that there is a real appetite to accelerate UK energy transition while driving green growth and jobs. It shows the way for global partners and underlines UK commitment to our net zero goals.

1/ We’ve secured a record-breaking 8.4GW of offshore wind, enough to power the equivalent of over 12 million homes.

This is the largest amount of offshore wind procured in any auction ever in Britain or indeed Europe.

The UK and Canada share a deep and enduring friendship, rooted in shared values and history.

Russia’s overnight bombardment of Ukraine, and unprecedented violation of NATO airspace, are the latest clear examples of Putin’s recklessness and disregard for life and peace.

We stand in solidarity with Poland and Ukraine in the face of Russia’s egregious actions.
