Good to support Helen Hurford’s campaign in Tiverton and Honiton today @TivHonTories @Conservatives
Ben Wallace @BWallaceMP spot on about @BorisJohnson trip to Ukraine
The Prime Minister continuing to demonstrate 🇬🇧 unwavering and steadfast support to 🇺🇦 should be applauded
So there is a lot of rubbish being spouted about the PM’s trip to Ukriane. 1. Firstly these trips are organised in total secrecy. Very few, and i mean very few, people know the dates and arrangements. Russia is still launching missile strikes right across Ukriane . 1/5
Great to join @POTUS and my good friend @ClimateEnvoy at the Major Economies Forum hosted by 🇺🇸
Read my remarks on how the 🇬🇧 #COP26 Presidency is supporting ambitious #ClimateAction and the steps we are taking to deliver the #GlasgowClimatePact

Thanks to @CBItweets @tonydanker for inviting me to speak at the #AchievingNetZero Conference
The role of business is critical in delivering the #GlasgowClimatePact and making progress ahead of #COP27
We must continue working together to drive change in vital sectors
“Net zero is one of the clearest economic trends there has ever been. It encompasses every country, every sector - and there are economic as well as environmental dividends to be won” @AlokSharma_RDG issues call to arms for business at @cbitweets #achievingnetzero
The Prime Minister has won the vote of confidence.
We now need to move forward and redouble our efforts on delivering growth and economic prosperity for the country.
@BorisJohnson has my full support & I urge @Conservatives MPs to vote for him today
He delivered a historic win in 2019, has provided strong leadership through the pandemic supporting jobs & businesses and is leading the international response on Ukraine

If we don’t, we won’t.
It’s that simple.”
