A pleasure to chair today’s roundtable on Cooling for Net Zero alongside Carbon Connect and Innovate UK Business Connect.

As the temperature in the UK rises, so does the demand for cooling infrastructure.

We must enable consumers to make a seamless and affordable switch to Net Zero cooling.

I wish Jewish communities in the UK and across the world a peaceful and joyful #Passover .

Chag Sameach!

As local and PCC elections draw closer, we must recognise some of the challenges elected representatives face.

I discussed the abuse some councillors experience when speaking to local residents, and the importance of encouraging young voters to engage with local politics👇

Today is #EarthDay - a day to stand up for our planet.

With Chris Stark declaring that the PM has set us back on climate change, now is the time to commit to protecting our planet for future generations.

Let's create a home our grandchildren can be proud of! 🌍

I have added my name to The Times and The Sunday Times campaign calling on the Government to pay compensation to all those infected & affected by the contaminated blood scandal, without delay.

With 2 victims dying each week, there can be no justification for further delay.

Read the declaration 👇

🌱 Did you know the UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth?

🧑‍⚖️ There is currently no law ensuring the destruction of #nature is reversed by 2030—until now.

🌏 This #EarthDay , I'm backing Zero Hour’s #CANBill to help put nature on the road to recovery.

Wherever we go, the anger about this failing Conservative government is palatable.

The longer they go on, the worse it gets.

Here we have it. Been saying this in Parliament for months. All I got was abuse.
But abuse of the opposition will not fix the government failure which I lay fairly and squarely at the PM’s door.
This out of touch government must go, the sooner the better. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

It was a pleasure to meet the Mayor of Braunschweig, Dr Kornblum on his visit to Bath as part of the twinning links we have with the city.

It’s as important as ever to keep these links and friendships that our city has built up over decades.

Proud to be working with End Sexism In Schools to combat sexism in schools.

Addressing gender disparities in the curriculum is crucial. Shockingly, only 2% of GCSE students study literature by female authors.

It's time we showed that women's stories matter.

Proud to nominate two exceptional healthcare services from our city for the NHS Parliamentary Awards.

I wish the best of luck to both Combe Down Surgery and the RUH Bath 🏥 Back to Basics VR training team!

Your dedication to our community is deeply appreciated and truly invaluable

In light of developing events, we must prevent further escalation and stay focused on achieving lasting peace.

We need to work together so that all those in the region can be free of the horrifying cycle of violence that has endured for so long.

This announcement does nothing to help the millions languishing in pain on waiting lists, nor will it help get our stagnant economy moving in the right direction.

Perhaps if the Conservatives had taken better care of our NHS, there might be fewer people off sick.

I welcomed the debate today to discuss the Covid-19 vaccine programme.

Like many medical procedures, the programme did not come without risks.

But ultimately, I fully support the effective use of the vaccine to save thousands of lives, whilst reducing the pressure on the NHS👇

The accounts of abuse faced by local councillors in our community are harrowing.

Abuse & intimidation towards elected officials must not be allowed to undermine our democracy.

That’s why I asked the government to commit to securing the safety of all our local representatives👇

Ever since entering government, the Scottish Greens have traded environmentalism for nationalism.

They have missed targets, cut fuel poverty programmes and slashed a third from the housing budget.

Our climate targets are non-negotiable; the future of our planet depends on it.

🚗Lloyds Bank are responsible for funding 1 in 10 EVs on our roads.

I heard from them today about some of the barriers to ownership, namely the location and accessibility of charging points.

In Bath, you can now have your say on where charging points would be most beneficial👇

It's great to see B&NES Council committed to increasing investment to tackle the climate and nature emergency.

This will support renewable energy schemes, active travel, nature recovery projects & improve access to local green spaces.

Investment today can build a future for tomorrow

10% of global greenhouse gas emissions are due to food waste.

Yet the Conservatives are shying away from implementing meaningful measures to reduce our waste.

Charities like FareShare are vital for redistributing waste, but it should not be down to them to plug the gaps.

Great to speak with New AutoMotive about encouraging high mileage drivers to switch to electric vehicles.

We discussed some common misconceptions about EVs which are damaging to the progress of uptake.

The facts are clear: affordable EVs can help us towards achieving net zero.
