The @Conservatives record of the #environment &
Land stewardship is a strength & needs to be built on in any future policy direction. See my article on this @ConHome @CEN_HQ

Net z so muddled!NZ added £83.1bn to gross value, 950,000+ jobs, £23bn investm in ‘23; driving low C tec/ renewables. Warming is causing extreme weather - costing £bns! & it’s destroying nature whose services contribute £trillions to our economy!

Completely agree with this article in @saturdaytimesin by @EmilyRetter - getting my regular fix of outdoors - especially getting my hands in the soil growing veg is a life saver; (with tasty results too!). @doseofnature2 doing great work on this

Looking forward to my school group arriving for the @BathndWest Field to Fork event today! Learning how our food is produced - great idea. @BBCBristol @bbcsomerset #foodandfarming

Good to talk issues of the day on @bbc5live @MattChorley show 2.15 Tues: vets bills, tariffs, bins, energy with Gordon Smart hosting

I have only ever bought full fat milk - necessary for calcium and strong bones.@farmingUK @NFUtweets @somersetfandd

With escalating demands on our precious land - the publishing of the Govs Land Use framework tomorrow is a key moment. Determining what societies priorities are & how to deliver them is so important. I was pleased to take part in todays @ECIU_UK @guyshrubsole @emmagatten

I’ve just had a massive recycling clear out this new year - there is so much that can be re- used and can even make you a few pennies/ We must increase what we re-circulate @WRAP_NGO @WildlifeTrusts

Very disappointing that the long awaited & much needed upgrade of Musgrove Park Hospital has been pushed down the road by @GOVUK - huge pressure now on maintenance budgets & staff morale @CountyGazette @SomersetLive @bbcsomerset

So so sad to hear this news - #JohnnieWalker was a legend/ just a small thing - but he was so influential in my life - taught me to edit
at Radio West/ & we
shared a desk;
adored his style / knowledge; gentle voice & irreverent sparkle!

Taking simple measures in our gardens can made a big difference to improving habitat for wildlife - I’ve made lots of tweaks like leaving seed heads for the birds. I was thrilled to see 2 bullfinches eating them this week! @WildlifeTrusts @The_RHS

We desperately need to put this rescue package in place
to save our precious #chalk streams
@DefraGovUK @adamvaughan_uk @horton_official

Pleased to join @GBNEWS to talk about what has driven our farmers to drive their tractors to London & why it matters @NFUtweets @CEN_HQ

Very positive news re renewables - this is possible whilst also growing and having a sustainable economy @CEN_HQ

Inspiring to be taking part in the new Land Alive event @BathandWest - focus on the regenerative approach to farming & food production #regenerative agriculture

What a tremendous show of support for our farmers and rural communities on yesterday’s #FarmersMarch #familyfarms - I was proud to be there @FarmersGuardian @CEN_HQ @nfusouth @JeremyClarkson

Throwing vapes away incorrectly is a real fire and environmental risk - good to see @CEN_HQ organising this event to help tackle the problem:

Lively @CEN_HQ panel session with @michaelgove @Conservatives #CPC24 on why net zero & wider nature restoration must be integrated to tackle climate change & real economic benefits @horton_official @friends_earth @Bluemarinef @nationaltrust @spectator @WoodlandTrust
