Welcome to BBC Verify! I chatted to BBC Breakfast about it.

@feraldata Hi Genevieve, was hoping to pick your brains on whether ethical tech can give you a competitive advantage. Just reading Anthro Vision and thought you might have some interesting views! Great if we could DM
@British_Airways Hi, all your phone lines get cut off as soon as you try to speak to anyone. Can you help with a query I have about getting a refund for a cancelled flight please?
Today we make history as the first major economy in the world to legislate to end its contribution to #climatechange entirely. Laws signed by @CSkidmoreUK and which come into force today commit the UK to #netzero emissions by 2050 #cleangrowth 🌍🎉https://t.co/zZU8obawPr
We used to rely on coal for ALL of our electricity. Today, we’ve gone 2 WEEKS non-stop without using a single lump of coal for electricity - the first time since the Industrial Revolution! 👏
