This feels like big news. Like so many people of her generation, Theresa May has been on a journey on LGBT rights. The thing is, her position is so much closer to the mainstream than you’d think from reading most of the British media. https://twitter.com/alliehbnews/status/1542610716020150272

On the 50th anniversary of Britain’s first pride march, every living UK Prime Minister has written about their support for LGBT rights. Including Theresa May, who urges the govt to ban all conversion therapy.
WATCH:"Mr Hydrogen" @JacobYoungMP ask about changes to the RTFO in Transport Qs today to stimulate the use of hydrogen in transport
Good to hear Transport Minister, Trudy Harrison say that the DfT @transportgovuk shares his enthusiasm for hydrogen in the transport sector
👇
Today I am at the Hydrogen for Life conference in London, discussing the production and use of hydrogen to best climate change. Hydrogen us the key to unlocking many zero carbon technologies and a big focus of our research at @MPI_UK #HforLife
On the way here, I spotted these advertisements at Westminster tube station, highlighting the importance of Teesside in producing hydrogen for UK industry, transport and homes of the future.
We are leading the way in providing vital military assistance to Ukraine.
This announcement brings the total UK military support since the outbreak of war to £2.3 billion, more than any country other than the United States. https://twitter.com/10DowningStreet/status/1542437216089251840
The UK will provide an additional £1 billion of military support to Ukraine.
This will go towards capabilities including sophisticated air defence systems, innovative new electronic warfare equipment and vital kit for Ukrainian soldiers. 🇺🇦

💷 What currency would Scotland use?
🇪🇺 Would they join the EU?
🏢 What would happen to the financial services industry in Edinburgh?
🪖What would happen to the military?
These questions, and many more go unanswered whilst the SNP spend £20m on yet another referendum campaign.
I’m grateful to 🇬🇧 Prime Minister @BorisJohnson for allocating an additional £1 billion for security assistance to Ukraine. 🇬🇧 is our true friend and strategic partner. We appreciate the consistent, leadership support for 🇺🇦 in countering Russian aggression.
A pleasure to address the @The_CCSA annual reception in Parliament.
Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage is a big part of the UK’s green, low Carbon future.
I outlined the next stages in getting to 4 CCUS clusters by 2030.
PC Andrew Harper was killed protecting the public. Today, Harper's Law, named in his honour, comes into force.

The UK has a plan to boost long-term energy security and cut emissions. At bp, we’re hard at work on the challenge.
Tonight @HouseofCommons has backed the NI Protocol Bill.
It provides practical solutions to problems caused by the Protocol and protects the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
While a negotiated outcome remains our preference - the EU must accept changes to the Protocol itself.
Quite a few people asking “where’s the evidence” of antisemitism in High Peak Labour. I’m glad you asked. Let’s take a quick look, shall we?
Former MP and sitting councillor Ruth George is the most noteworthy.

For the avoidance of doubt - again - I’m not bloody defecting.
To those anonymous colleagues spreading such rumours, my door is always open for a chat.
The measures we have announced today will directly hit Russian oligarchs and strike at the heart of Putin’s war machine.
We need to starve the Putin regime of its funding. The UK and our allies are doing just that. https://twitter.com/10DowningStreet/status/1540998877825859584
Sanctions update:
New Russian gold will no longer be allowed to be exported to the UK, US, Japan and Canada – targeting Putin’s war machine.
UK import restrictions now apply to over £13.5 billion of Russian exports.
Ukraine can win and it will win.
But they need our backing to do so. Now is not the time to give up on Ukraine.
The UK will continue to back Ukraine every step of the way.
PM tells journos he wants to win elections 🤔
Not sure where the news story is here…

When I came to Parliament I promised to hold those accountable who conducted witch-hunts against U.K. Veterans.

Jacob Rees Mogg asked to meet me to discuss the so-called ‘Brexit Freedoms’ bill. He travelled 200 miles to Edinburgh, then couldn’t be bothered to walk the remaining 200 metres from UK Gov office to the Scot Gov building to meet me in person.
