Did you know that the #LibyanDinar is close to the #Dollar in value?

Even the #GhanaianCedi is worth more than the #NigerianNaira.

Here's a list of 10 African currencies more valuable than the #Naira.

[TerenceFane-Saunders @TFaneS]

Encouraging to see Goldman Sachs report that the #NigerianNaira is the world’s best performing currency this month “and could extend its gains”. Still much to be done, but due credit to President #Tinubu for the difficult, not necessarily popular, economic measures he has taken

[Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps @grantshapps]

I've been back to Kyiv this week to ask President @ZelenskyyUa what he needs to win. 

As Ukraine retakes its territory, UK support remains unwavering. We will work tirelessly to bring our partners together to help Ukraine defeat Putin's illegal invasion. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Sir Keir and Labour would take us back to square one on Brexit - the latest example of his short-term positions on the EU

[Home Builders Federation @HomeBuildersFed]

“The evidence is now clear; the Government can no longer ignore the housing crisis facing people across the country. People generally are accepting of the need to build more homes and elected representatives need to ensure they are representing all the people in their communities, not just a vocal NIMBY minority.” 📣

🗨 @stewartbaseley, our Executive Chairman

Our new report uncovers the public's true attitudes towards housing and the Government’s policy approach. Did you know…

🔹 68% of people believe that building more homes is vital to resolving the country’s housing crisis

🔹 A staggering 72% place responsibility for solving the country’s shortage of homes firmly at the door of politicians

🔹 72% of respondents are worried about the prospects of future generations in relation to the housing market

🔹 Just 18% of people think politicians truly understand the challenges young people face in getting on the housing ladder

🔹 More than 40% of respondents agree with the statement ‘Housing will be an important factor in determining who I vote for at the next General Election'

It’s clear the American XL Bully dog is a danger to our communities.

I’ve ordered urgent work to define and ban this breed so we can end these violent attacks and keep people safe.

[Dan Swords @dan__swords]

The action we take will always be about upholding the law, responding to the concerns of residents and businesses, and protecting the town’s open spaces.

The criminality and upset we saw caused overnight is exactly why we took swift and robust action to deal with this.

Priority 3⃣: 𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧

🏡 We are delivering high-quality new council homes for Harlow families with all phase 1 schemes to be on site this year.

✅Another planning permission granted this week for another brilliant regeneration of a derelict site👇

@StapleTye @WestHarlow

[Dan Swords @dan__swords]

We promised to improve Council services and make Harlow a better place to raise a family.

We have massively upgraded this splash park, made sure that for the first time in years it opened on time, installed toilets and the park is now being enjoyed by families free of charge.

[Harlow Council @HarlowCouncil]

💚 Restoring pride around our town - this time it’s restoring historic features in Mulberry Green 📖

↗️ An historic directional signpost, plaque and ornate fencing, which have stood for more than 100 years in Mulberry Green have been restored back to their former glory

[Dan Swords @dan__swords]

🛠️We will transform our town centre and revive left-behind neighbourhoods, putting the 'new' back in New Town.

🧵Yesterday, I announced Harlow Council's priorities for the year ahead.

5⃣These are the five foundations I know will put our town on the road to a brighter future and make Harlow a better place to live, work, raise a family and start a business.

[Cllr Joel Charles @JoelRCharles]

🏗️ 🏘️👷‍♂️ Without the contribution of dedicated @HarlowCouncil officers (past and present), and councillors who forged the original cross-party consensus on growth, the announcement made today by the administration about a public-private partnership to take forward plans for new housing and town centre regeneration would have been much harder to achieve.

🤝 As the current stewards of the council, my Conservative colleagues and I can realise the shared ambition to leave a positive lasting legacy.

✅ This important step forward is an opportunity to recognise the role many people have played in getting #Harlow to this point.

👥 Local government is at its best when politicians come together to focus purely on what is in the best interests of their community.

[Michael Hardware @MichaelHardware]

Absolute bonkers!

[Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps @grantshapps]

Labour's energy plan appears to have been written by eco anarchists like Just Stop Oil and would hand the UK's energy security to the likes of Putin, whilst increasing household energy costs. In summary, it's bonkers!

Fantastic. This is the most exciting project to deliver housing, infrastructure and community spaces

[Robert Halfon 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 @RtHonRobHalfon]

A very big thank you to all the volunteer governors and trustees who give up their time for free and who make a tremendous contribution in making our schools, further education colleges and sixth form colleges work for learners.
