Did you know that only 9% of plastic waste gets recycled?

Meanwhile:
🔴 49% ends up in landfills
⚠️ 22% is mismanaged, burned, or dumped in water
🔥 19% is incinerated

Let's rethink how we produce, use & dispose of plastic. Small actions can lead to big changes.

A big welcome as @Keir_Starmer came to mark more than 500 days of traffic chaos for local people in Newport Pagnell.

As you had to leave early, we'll fill in the gaps MK Labour may have forgotten for you...

MK East is over-budget and infrastructure is massively behind schedule.

Wow!
One week in Davos gone so fast!

As the week at #Davos for the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting for 2025 comes to a close later today, I’m reflecting on the many powerful conversations, progressive ideas, and meaningful connections that took place. From tackling global challenges to exploring innovative solutions, this year’s gathering has once again highlighted the importance of collaboration in shaping a more sustainable and inclusive future.

A massive thank you 🙏 to the incredible World Economic Forum's 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 and the fantastic panels for their tireless efforts behind the scenes to bring the Forum’s event and mission to life across all communications platforms. A big dedication, creativity, and professionalism shined through it.

It was incredible to spend a day with wonderful Prof., DA (hc) Olga Mroz, Dame of Honour in Davos as well.

Here are a few moments in #images from the week that captured the economy, energy, collaboration, and commitment of WEF25 in Davos. 📸

Looking forward for the next year!

In conflict, civilians always pay the highest price.

War is not the answer.

We need peace.

[United Nations @UN]

Racism, discrimination & xenophobia harm us all. But everyone, everywhere, can take action to spread compassion, tolerance & acceptance.

The Iraqi Parliament has proposed a law to lower the legal marriage age for girls from 18 to 9.
Girls are not spouses.
Child marriage is a human rights violation & harmful practice that threatens girls’ lives & health locking them in a cycle of poverty & violence.

United Nations must protect children and women from abuse and violence.

Wow
What a beautiful day..
I am still pinching myself to believe it..🌸🌸🤞🤞

I am so humbled and pleased to win the award 🥇 today at Global Women’s Peace Conference in Warsaw, Poland 🇵🇱 from 8-11th November.

Becoming a “Global Women Peace Ambassador”is a profound honor and responsibility. This role embodies a commitment to advocating for gender equality, peace, and justice worldwide.

As an ambassador, I would strive to amplify women's voices in conflict resolution, promote education, peace advocacy and support initiatives that empower women in their communities.

Through collaboration with local organizations, governments, and international bodies, my mission would be to foster dialogue and understanding, addressing the root causes of conflict and violence against women.

By sharing stories of resilience and strength, I aim to inspire a global movement that recognizes the critical role women play in sustaining peace and building inclusive societies.

In this capacity, I would work tirelessly to ensure that women's rights are upheld and that they have equal opportunities to participate in peacebuilding processes. Together, we can create a more just and peaceful world for all.
