We had the pleasure of taking 6 politically engaged students to Angmering school today for a debate between the candidates standing for Worthing West constituency. The students discussed their ideas afterwards. Here's to more political engagement and participating in democracy!

Pleased to have contributed to this important area of discussion on #Biomass. Taking a chainsaw to the world’s forests is not and will never be acceptable. Historic mistakes may not be changed. Future ones can be avoided.
Drax is the UK's largest recipient of green subsidies for biomass. They've been under particular focus as this year the BBC reported it had burned wood from rare forests in Canada. Now, #Newsnight's @katelamble has seen evidence of almost 200 environmental breaches at the mills

🌳 CEN MP and Father of the House @PBottomleyMP explains why we should be tougher on biomass subsidies. Despite its questionable environmental credentials, the public has spent millions of pounds already.

Let us recognise the choice of national pride is not binary: it is not one or the other but, rather, both. Happy St George's Day to one and all in Arun, in Worthing and across the UK. 🏴🇬🇧

On St George's Day, we also celebrate Shakespeare's birthday. Icons like Shakespeare show the strength of English culture and language on the international stage. In Summer, we will celebrate English teams at the Euros whilst at the same time cheering on Team GB at the Olympics.

In celebrating each individual Patron Saint, we recognise the strength and breadth of our United Kingdom. Each Home Country can celebrate its culture, its identity and its heritage whilst also coming together to celebrate our strength as one nation.

Today we celebrate #StGeorgesDay, the Patron Saint of England. 🏴 I want to share this photograph of the mosaic of St George in the Central Lobby on display alongside depictions of St Andrew, St David and St Patrick at the heart of our Houses of Parliament.

"Peace will flourish when love and justice pervade our environment.” Today is the anniversary of St Oscar Romero's martyrdom. Find out why his life and legacy are so relevant to the current human rights struggles in his home country of El Salvador. https://t.co/aZLSyxvNt0

Local experts working with CAFOD in El Salvador continue to stand up for peace, against injustice and repression, in Oscar Romero’s name.

Alexei Navalny lived and died for a democratic Russia and for the freedom of its citizens. The President of Russia is making his people suffer and die for his despotic ambitions.
Jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny has died, Russian media report, citing the prison service

With early detection through standard practices like mammograms, prostate exams and blood tests, we can treat cancer sooner and less invasively. I encourage all to attend tests and appointments when invited and to be aware of noticeable symptoms of common forms of cancer.

In going public with his diagnosis, he has brought to the forefront the importance of regular testing and early diagnosis of such terrible diseases as cancer. 1000 people a day are diagnosed with cancer in the UK. Millions are living with a diagnosis and undergoing treatment.

Residents across Worthing and Arun will join me in praising His Majesty the King for his selfless actions following such a difficult diagnosis. We all pray it has been caught early enough for him to continue his selfless dedication in service to our nation.

Over three hundred local residents, community leaders and campaign supporters joined together with me on Chatsmore Farm on Saturday. Thank you. We sent a clear, united message ahead of the Planning Inspector hearing Persimmon’s appeal: we do not want Goring Gap concreted over!

As the holocaust moves out of living memory, days like this offer moments to remember and to learn from. I signed the Book of Commitment, pledging to meet hatred with love, and division with unity.
