As part of National Apprenticeship Week I was interviewed with my @WBD_UK colleague Amela Kasemi by @ITNBusiness’s @SangeetaKandola to share experiences of our solicitor apprenticeship scheme.
Here’s the link to the short film with some useful insight. https://t.co/dLlgt3UDGm

Always good to catch up with colleagues from the UK and US whilst up in Newcastle - I’ve never seen the Tyne so still on a crisp winter evening.

This is how far the UK has fallen behind.

[Jon Bower 🇺🇦 @jon_bower]

England built one wind turbine on land last year. This is a depressing statistic but great that @WBD_UK colleagues helped deliver this for @ambitionlw. With the de facto ban lifted let’s hope there’s a significant acceleration of schemes.

With rising demands for new housing developments in the UK, is building 'up' rather than 'out' the solution? 🏡⏫

In @WBD_UK's brand new episode of #PlanningUnplugged, we're exploring the unique needs tall buildings must meet in the planning sector 👀🆙 https://t.co/46DrG9JfKV

A clear shift in approach under the new government with several pro development renewables announcements already from ⁦@energygovuk⁩ and more to come

This government was elected with a mandate to take immediate action to boost Britain's energy independence.

The onshore wind ban is a symbol of how bad decisions in the last fourteen years have put up energy bills for families.

Today, it ends.

[Jon Bower 🇺🇦 @jon_bower]

Within 72 hours of a new government we have new planning policy which overturns the effective ban on onshore wind in England with a new Policy Statement. Other measures include the promise of looking to introduce onshore wind into the NSIP system

[Matthew Pennycook MP @mtpennycook]

It is a real honour to have been appointed Minister of State at @luhc

Tackling the housing crisis and boosting economic growth is integral to national renewal.

Time to get to work.

[Jon Bower 🇺🇦 @jon_bower]

Looking forward to seeing the planning and CPO reform brought forward by @mtpennycook in his ministerial role in @luhc - a glimpse of what’s in store from this interview https://t.co/rOAjFHnl2X

[Jon Bower 🇺🇦 @jon_bower]

@darrenpjones Great to have our MP around the cabinet. Very well deserved and a proud moment for you and your family.

[Jon Bower 🇺🇦 @jon_bower]

Two of the smartest junior ministerial appointments - whatever anyone’s political views - are
- @JamesTCobbler as prisons minister
- Sir Patrick Vallance as Science Minister

Both on top of their brief and will make an immediate difference.
