What a great guy! What a great garden! Pleasure to meet Rob Hardy who was buzzing after just hearing he won 🥇 at Chelsea Flower Show with his @trusselluk garden. The fight against hunger and food poverty has found a great new ambassador. And thanks @projgivingback for funding it

Just extraordinary.

Too often, we have overstated the strength of authoritarianism and understated the strength of democracy.

[Kevin Keith @KevKeith]

The UK government is set to co-chair a global accountability initiative @opengovpart (OGP) from Oct 2026.

Last time (2013) Cameron declared a 'transparency revolution.'

@Keir_Starmer's task is a transparency restoration.

The case for open government has never been stronger.

We welcome this opportunity to work with the government & partners across all four nations, to raise standards at home and abroad, bring more people into policy-making, and turn ambition into delivery.

Today we have witnessed a vile attack on our Jewish community on its holiest day.

We condemn whoever is responsible and will do everything within our power to keep people safe.

We stand with GM’s Jewish community at this time and will work through the day to support them. 🙏🏻
