Not unexpected but still really good news that @TBanton18 has signed another two year contract. Over the last 18 months or so he has matured into one of the best all-formats batsmen in the country. A class act. @SomersetCCC @bbcbristolsport

The ‘right clothes’ for an MP’s job is necessary but donor freebies are unacceptable; I used lots of my daughters 2nd hand clothes; & as #environment Min I provided or borrowed my outdoor clothes. As a former tv presenter I had an allowance for this. @edvaizey @horton_official

Bloody deceitful by Reeves and Rayner not to mention until now that they too had clothes bought for them by a Labour donor. Under pressure , Rayner has now coughed to receiving clothes worth £3,500 from Lord Alli, who had also bought clothes for the PM and wife Victoria. Reeves

🚨 10 former @DefraGovUK Secretaries of State and ministers urge the government to protect the nature-friendly farming budget. "the government needs to put its money where its mouth is and keep the farming budget intact or - better still - increase it in line with inflation."

Huge impact on Somersets’ aging population if #WinterFuelAllowance scrapped - 20% of the county population will be adversely affected that’s 110,000 people! It’s a choice @UKLabour are making & those less able to cope will suffer unless @Conservatives @mimsdavies are heeded.

As @RishiSunak explained last week, Labour’s scrapping of the universal winter fuel payment is a choice. The PM has made the wrong choice, especially when there are reasonable alternatives, as I set out in the House of Lords today. 👇

Great to chat to @edvaizey @TimesRadio about how important it is to restore nature & increase agri-environment schemes – any proposed cuts would be devastating as sustainable ecosystems provide so many free services @guardian @CEN_HQ (26min23secs in: )

Cutting England’s nature friendly farming budget would be devastating for #nature . Farmers manage 70% of our land - so are critical to nature restoration & achieving our targets #environment I urge @UKLabour to rethink! @guardian @NFUtweets @CEN_HQ @WildlifeTrusts @theipaper
