Another reason why I won't be supporting @RishiSunak at the next election. Another example of the disastrous @Conservatives caving in to lobbying by vested interests. BBC News - Rishi Sunak scraps home energy efficiency taskforce bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

It looks like @RishiSunak and the @Conservatives are caving to the fossil fuel lobbiests on environmental issues. That's made it much easier to know which way to vote in the next general election, and it won't be supporting this nonsense.

Great to be seeing things get back to normal - always a great way to show our pride in diversity and inclusion

I just took part in the #BigPlasticCount, UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste. Here’s what I found really happens to my plastic waste: ♻️13% recycled 🌍18% sent abroad 🔥45% burnt ⛰️24% sent to landfill This is shocking, right?! @Jochurchill_MP @pow_rebecca

So we should ignore Partygate because we need to trust @borisjohnson over serious issues such as the war in Ukraine... Not even all Ukrainians agree on that. Come on @Conservatives - see the writing on the wall, before it's written in more blood. theguardian.com/politics/202…

For goodness sake @BorisJohnson - when will you and your incompetent @Conservatives government do something about energy efficiency and managing the short term demand side of the energy equation? bbc.co.uk/news/business-6102…

A super weekend helping pick even more incredible young people to attend the 25th World Scout Jamboree vm.tiktok.com/ZMLabghE3/

I had a fantastic weekend with @Unit39_Durham at @AdventureCentre at the weekend. Volunteering is so #goodforyou , especially with such a fantastic group of young people and volunteers

I got to do my postponed Boxing Day Dip this morning - it's not too late to donate! justgiving.com/crowdfunding/… youtu.be/gKdKbr4jBow

This morning is my rescheduled Christmas Dip in the North Sea. Seaburn beach, here I come!

I'm gonna get wet and cold at the Seaham Boxing Day Dip! I'm raising funds for the @durhamscouts International/Jamboree Fund, to help young people access these life changing opportunities. Will you help me? (by donating, not by getting me wet!) justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…

The sweets are supposed to go ON the Christingle?? News to me.

I absolutely love helping on @durhamscouts Young Leader weekends

We can - and must - all do our bit to help tackle the climate emergency. We cannot - and must not - leave it to future generations to deal with. #PromiseToThePlanet

Good to be out on the hills again assessing expeditions for @DurhamCityScout Explorers/Network
