Ding ding ding...had my last radiotherapy and I'm all done. A massive thank you to the incredible team at MTW & my family/friends for their support throughout. Early diagnosis = better outcomes so check your bits & bobbins & see a GP if your worried. Off now to max out on life 😁

Ditto.
As the former Energy Minister who signed Net Zero into law, for the sake of our environment and climate, I cannot personally vote tonight to support fracking and undermine the pledges I made at the 2019 General Election.
I am prepared to face the consequences of my decision.

I could write reams on how Sir David was one of the kindest, most compassionate, well liked colleagues in Parliament. But I can't. I feel sick. I am lost.
Rest in Peace. A little light went out in Parliament today. We will miss you.
