And every single one of these projects will help reduce fossil gas imports that are once again about to become massively more expensive.

Forestry England and GB Energy to explore potential for woodland solar and wind projects Joint venture deal could see England's 'greatest natural assets' host renewable energy projects

This looks like a good initiative from the government. There’s lots of public land available where well sited renewables projects make a lot of sense.

Keir Starmer abandoned net zero to court Reform voters. He failed After byelection defeat and with right-leaning advisers gone, will PM return to his instincts and embrace Labour β€˜DNA’ on climate?

This is a ridiculous headline to a much more nuanced piece. Starmer could and should have talked more about the government’s net zero efforts given they are popular and largely working. But at no point did he β€˜abandon net zero’.

Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, with Mr Speaker.

A strong reminder that cooperation matters - and that we can do so much better together.

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem β€œ9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

β€œDolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure β€˜every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

'Because council tax is included in rent you can't register to vote' (which is nonsense) actually means 'please don't tell the council or HMRC that the property is let out'.

Basically a confession that the landlord is iffy, in the Rightmove listing!

Plans to make refugee a status of perpetual limbo will do nothing to stop people who need help seeking it nor make it possible for them to rebuild their lives and contribute. I call for humane and effective asylum reforms because I am true Labour, not blue Labour. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Tony Hudgell wins his campaign for new UK child cruelty register Tony Hudgell, who lost both legs after his birth parents assaulted him, has fought to protect children.

A Child Cruelty Register will help protect children from those that commit heinous physical abuse.

Delighted to play a small role in delivering this with @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social. But the heroes are Tony Hudgell, and his mother Paula.

They inspire all of us. πŸ‘‡

Angeliki is a brilliant woman and I'm sorry she's not in Parliament. The absolute shit candidates (and MPs) get from all sides (and the whole political spectrum) is unbelievable.

It's the constant questioning of good faith that's the worst tbh - and the idea that you're fair game for nastiness.

I appeal now to the City Mothers of our beautiful Modern Towns to ask the City Fathers to do something for the City Children.
Won't you please let us have a paddling pool -I beg your pardon, a Lido ? We promise to keep it nice and clean and beautiful, and we'll never make the mistake of putting our back-less bathing costumes on back to front, even though some of us have never worn one before.

A young woman complains about the selfish old men telling her that she can't stay out late drinking, deciding which films she's allowed to watch, and which facilities she and her friends are allowed to enjoy...90 years ago today, in the Daily Mirror.

Out on the doorsteps in Gorton & Denton today with lots of volunteers and the Labour family.

We do this because we want to strengthen our Labour team by electing Angeliki Stogia.

There’s so much we want and need to do to turn things around for our country, let us build on this strong start 🌹

Success! Island of Jersey passes historic Assisted Dying Law

Success! Island of Jersey passes historic Assisted Dying Law

BREAKING: Jersey has passed its Assisted Dying Law, after States Members voted in favour by 32 votes to 16. This is a historic moment for Jersey and a momentous vote of confidence for compassion, dignity, and choice at the end of life. #AssistedDying #AssistedDyingJersey

BREAKING: Jersey becomes the second place in the British Isles to legalise assisted dying, voting 2 to 1 in favour.

32 for, 16 against.

Joins the Isle of Man in voting in favour. Scotland due to vote next month.

England and Wales bill remains in Lords and likely to fail.

Mothering Sunday on March 15th. It's hard if she's not around. I'll be reading out the names of our remembered #Mums26 from the top of the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. You can see across the sea to the Lake District. If you'd like your Mum/Mam/Mom's name added to the list, reply with hashtag! ❀️ πŸ‘‘

Yesterday, the PM invited content creators to Downing Street for a new type of 'press' conference, on the cost of living.

Here's one question, which allowed the PM to give policy heavy and important answers.

No attempts to catch the PM out or journalists changing topic!

What a refreshing change!
