Geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East once again shows that reliance on volatile oil and gas exposes economies to price shocks.

Renewables, electrification and storage offer more stable long term energy costs and stronger energy security.

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

In trying to avoid releasing material which may be embarrassing for the UK govt or offensive to the sensitivities of one Donald Trump, the govt has set up a process which risks hugely delaying the release of papers relating to Mandelson's appointment.

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

I absolutely welcome the govt's new law making it illegal to create non-consensual intimate images - and I also recognise that legislation is only as good as its enforcement.

We must ensure Ofcom's investigation is conducted swiftly; justice for victims cannot wait.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

I have joined more than 50 MPs and Peers to ask David Lammy to immediately meet the lawyers of Palestine Action-affiliated prisoners who are on hunger strike. These prisoners are now in an exceptionally urgent medical state. The government needs to act to protect their health and wellbeing before it is too late.

Every week the cattle herds stay outside saves £500-700 in potential wintering costs

Out wintering (done properly with planned grazing prep) has done more for our farm’s profitability than anything else we’ve ever done

Over 20,000 sheep under solar panels create a desert miracle! In northwest China's Qinghai Province, the land was once desert. The panels block wind and sunlight, allowing grass to grow and turning desert into grassland.

Am I missing something? Where is the Natural History GCSE? Where is the promised focus on nature?
We were told to wait for this review and all would be clear, but it looks like it’s been buried, delayed, or quietly dropped yet again. How can a government ignore the natural world so completely? https://t.co/Kf331cuLUW
