Forestry isn’t just about trees — it’s about people, places and prosperity.
I was delighted to sponsor Confor's event in Parliament to bring MPs together to show how investing in UK forestry can create over 40,000 rural jobs, strengthen local economies, and help Britain hit Net Zero. 🌲💚

Yesterday, the United Kingdom, alongside Canada and Australia, recognised the state of Palestine.
Recognition is an essential step in the process towards a two-state solution.
What must follow now is an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, and urgent aid getting into Gaza.
