Today I challenged the government to help break the Russian blockade on grain exports from Ukraine.
I enjoyed having a kick about at @Brightlingseafc last weekend. They are running a fantastic walking football programme with the help of funding from @PitchingIn_. Contact the club to get involved.
On #Harwich Friday. Back again today! What a wonderful place it is!
CC Louise MacKinlay Dep Leader of @Essex_CC launches #LevellingUp in Harwich. A day of new hope for the whole area.
30% of the earth’s carbon is stored in #grassland carbon sinks, this makes them every bit as important as trees in the fight against #globalwarming and the more #meadowflowers the better! One of the things I learnt at @Jordans_Farm #rewilding project last Friday.
Wonderful and many congratulations!
A really great day at Windsor Castle where Prince Charles gave @sarahehopembe her MBE for road safety campaigning and support for child amputees in the UK and India and Africa, with the charity Elizabeth’s Legacy of Hope @ELofHope. 🎖
I cannot imagine circs when Ireland would be nuked and the UK would not retaliate! Perhaps RoI will now see advantages and solidarity in @NATO membership? http://irishtimes.com
Taoiseach condemns ‘sinister’ Russian TV report showing nuclear attack on Ireland
Prehistoric women were hunters and artists as well as mothers, book reveals. This is why I referred to “the re-empowerment of women” in my speech in @HouseofCommons in debate on International Women’s Day @Women_on_IWD @Conservatives https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/apr/29/prehistoric-women-were-hunters-and-artists-not-just-mothers-book-reveals?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
I am grateful for all the media bids to discuss the role of the @HouseofCommons Committee of Privileges, but none of the members of the Committee will wish to comment in order that we maintain our impartiality.
Highly recommend @HarwichAnd Harwich Transportation,Railway and Shopping Museum opening for Easter. So much history and hard work gone into it. @bernardjenkin
Attending the opening of #Harwich Station Museum today at 1145am. Thank you to all the volunteers that have made this possible! #UniqueHarwich
The important right to peaceful protest cannot extend to breaking the law & disrupting our everyday lives.
Great to see companies taking action to secure injunctions & working with local police forces to ensure people can keep their Easter travel plans. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/industry-takes-action-to-deter-oil-protests
Happy #FossilFriday all. Found this tooth within a piece of the Triassic bone bed at Aust (South Glous, UK) last weekend. It is from a 210 million year old fish called Severnichthys acuminatus.
Euro area inflation has surged to 7.5% and is near 10% in Spain and the Netherlands. So the ECB decides to print another 90 billion Euros by June to drive it higher! Why?
Outstanding analysis of how Whitehall fails to appraise ministers of emerging threats and opportunities. But also how ministers are perceived to lack “appetite” for strategic thinking. https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/strategy-whitehall-need-resurrection @RUSI_org @UKCivilService #UkraineWar
Food for thought …
This is Zelensky's message to Europeans for an oil and gas embargo. Not pulling any punches:

I am still getting thank yous for my @HouseofCommons speech on women’s rights and child protection against the ultra-trans agenda @Conservatives @ALLIANCELGB
Great to spend time touring @Uni_of_Essex with Vice-Chancellor Anthony Forster, discussing achievements, challenges and opportunities.
Very informative and profoundly wise. @cwowomen #conversiontherapy @Conservatives and @10DowningStreet take note!
Given profound unintended consequences this bill would have had for children struggling with gender dysphoria it is right decision. There is an extremely strong network of existing law providing protection against conversion therapy 1/ https://www.itv.com/news/2022-03-31/exclusive-government-ditches-ban-on-conversion-therapy-leaked-document-shows
Yes, I have Covid and will not be chairing @CommonsLiaison on Wednesday afternoon, which the PM @10DowningStreet will attend. The Ctee will appoint and acting chair to run the evidence session. Pse direct inquiries to relevant media officer.

Particularly significant where the national Ombuds (unlike) most others, has no power of 'own initiative' to investigate without an individual complaint @OmbudsLinked @the_ioi @uk_aji @ajc_justice @CommonsPACAC https://twitter.com/PHSOmbudsman/status/1507281343482413080
Less than one fifth of respondents to a recent survey thought complaining about public services would make a difference.
A new set of UK Government Complaint Standards aims to change that.

Thanks person on Mumsnet for this comment. “When I was a student back in the 90s I lived in Bernard Jenkin’s constituency. I answered the door once when he was canvassing & gave him a flea in his ear.
If I answered the door to him now I’d give him tea and cake” @bernardjenkin
Pleased to be in #Harwich with @bernardjenkin and Mayor @Ivan4Harwich raising funds for the Mayflower Legacy Fund. Look forward to a great concert with four young musicians.

Before leaving her apartment in Kiev she plays the piano for the last time..
Absolutely spot on about the inevitable consequences of believing that gender identities > sex (name redacted because the person writing has a private account).
@Baronessjenkin @bernardjenkin Funny what alliances are made when new, important issues emerge. Very gracious of Mumsnet contributor.
@GBNEWS Absolutely agree with him. I am a woman, I am an adult female. I have a woman’s anatomy
This is fact
@GBNEWS Well done Sir Bernard....educating the Labour party..
