Dear @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer, national interest & security are not in competition w international aid - they are mutually reinforcing. Fighting poverty & climate change and investing in livelihoods, education & health in poorer countries enables us all to live more securely

I echo your words. Simon will be sorely missed.

[Senator Ian Gorst @Ian_Gorst]

Simon Boas was one of the most capable public servants I have had the pleasure of working with. He was intelligent, humble & kind. He loved Jersey, & loved life. Simon’s untimely death is a tragedy. We will all miss him greatly. My prayers are with Aurelie and Simon’s family. RIP

@PennyMordaunt Why cut taxes when the country is falling apart? Don't you need the money to get public services working. When you have to go to A&E for a minor ailment because it's impossible to get a GP appointment it shows the NHS is broken. It's not a time to cut taxes!!

[Sian @SianTLMEW]

@PennyMordaunt I value the lives of the most marginalised across the world. If you push up the international development budget and targeted it at global health and the most marginalised across the globe I'd consider giving the Conservatives my vote. But not with the present promises...

Muzaffarpur Hospital in #India is a vital place. But it’s old and crumbling. This is where you come in. You can help rebuild the Outpatient Department at Muzaffarpur. You can ensure people affected by #leprosy get the care they need. You can ensure they are seen.

After the coup in #Niger, the situation for ordinary people is dire. 11 million people are going hungry. Families affected by leprosy are starving. It costs £27.50 to feed a family affected by #leprosy for a month. Amid crisis, your love can save lives 👉 https://t.co/X05dIQCmfv

@fitbit @fitbituk why did u get rid of the weekend warrior and weekly challenges. It was the only reason many of us bought a fitbit. My friends and I are thinking of getting a @GarminUK unless it's reinstated. Challenges made us move much more!! Groups don't work nearly as well!
