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

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.
