We had the pleasure of taking 6 politically engaged students to Angmering school today for a debate between the candidates standing for Worthing West constituency. The students discussed their ideas afterwards. Here's to more political engagement and participating in democracy!

Happy (official) Birthday to His Majesty The King and good to see The Princess of Wales out and about again today.

@JerryLGiles @stuzi_pants No he isn’t.

[Sir Peter Bottomley @PBottomleyMP]

@WorthingCan I am grateful for the reminder but everyone should already be aware of my vocal opposition to the conflict and my desire for a peaceful resolution that is lasting and progressive for both a free state of Palestine and for Israel. Updates are on my website: https://t.co/ZGiXc4LGng

[Sir Peter Bottomley @PBottomleyMP]

@StephPowell17 It’s certainly not the end of work to tackle the longstanding issue but was a welcome step in the right direction. For updates on my work, do visit my website. I can’t promise it to be as politically charged as the Lib Dem’s but I try to be informative. https://t.co/ibVz4RrudP

[Sir Peter Bottomley @PBottomleyMP]

@StephPowell17 Interesting that a heavily misleading graphic from Lib-Dem campaign head quarters is doing the round again. This was a vote on introducing an overdue but welcome target for an incredible 80% reduction in phosphates (most commonly but not solely from sewage) in our rivers.

Pleased to have contributed to this important area of discussion on #Biomass. Taking a chainsaw to the world’s forests is not and will never be acceptable. Historic mistakes may not be changed. Future ones can be avoided.

[BBC Newsnight @BBCNewsnight]

Drax is the UK's largest recipient of green subsidies for biomass. They've been under particular focus as this year the BBC reported it had burned wood from rare forests in Canada. Now, #Newsnight's @katelamble has seen evidence of almost 200 environmental breaches at the mills which turn wood, headed to Drax, into pellets.

[Conservative Environment Network @CEN_HQ]

🌳 CEN MP and Father of the House @PBottomleyMP explains why we should be tougher on biomass subsidies.

Despite its questionable environmental credentials, the public has spent millions of pounds already.

@retrowedding68 You complained about my newsletter (which is already much longer than I like to make it) not including an update on WASPI. I informed you that the previous newsletter included said update.

Let us recognise the choice of national pride is not binary: it is not one or the other but, rather, both. Happy St George's Day to one and all in Arun, in Worthing and across the UK. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[Sir Peter Bottomley @PBottomleyMP]

Today we celebrate #StGeorgesDay, the Patron Saint of England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
I want to share this photograph of the mosaic of St George in the Central Lobby on display alongside depictions of St Andrew, St David and St Patrick at the heart of our Houses of Parliament.

[Sir Peter Bottomley @PBottomleyMP]

On St George's Day, we also celebrate Shakespeare's birthday. Icons like Shakespeare show the strength of English culture and language on the international stage. In Summer, we will celebrate English teams at the Euros whilst at the same time cheering on Team GB at the Olympics.

[Richard Holden MP @RicHolden]

Wonderful session with @WorthingCA - great team from Father of the @HouseofCommons @PBottomleyMP to Josh Harris our council candidate and @Young_Tories members!

All campaigning for our fantastic local @Conservatives in the Council Elections & for @KatyBourne as #Sussex PCC!

[Sir Peter Bottomley @PBottomleyMP]

@SianJasper @mrjoelclark You may wish to brush up on your google skills. I am A, not over 80 years old and B, proudly already reselected as candidate for the next General Election.

Today is the anniversary of St Oscar Romero's martyrdom. Find out why his life and legacy are so relevant to the current human rights struggles in his home country of El Salvador.

@PARLYapp A remnant of our past perhaps sits happily with St Oscar Romero in my office. It is still collapsible!
