    Now bracing myself for her replacement..

  2. #RegnoUnito
    Il Primo Ministro Rishi #Sunak (#CON|Centro-destra) ha rimosso dal suo incarico la Segretaria all'Ambiente Thérèse #Coffey (CON).

    @OsservatorioEsteri

  3. "Last year, then prime minister Liz Truss attempted to block #solar from most of #England’s farmland. The plans were deeply controversial and unpopular, and were dropped when she left office.

    However, solar panels in the countryside are disliked by many rural Conservative MPs, and the Observer can reveal that #Sunak and environment secretary Thérèse #Coffey have revived plans to put new restrictions on this form of cheap #RenewableEnergy."

    #Coffey on #BBCLaurak says "We have over 400 designated bathing sites around the country"

    There's a problem with this designation though as it is based upon the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs stating that if the water has “a large number of bathers in relation to any infrastructure or facilities that are provided" the water can receive bathing status

    even if

    people are

    swimming in shit.

  5. #MartinLewis on #BBLauraK

    "It was nice when my question on sewage was answered [by #Coffey] that that was a moment when a politician was definitely talking crap"

    Berry and Kusssenberg winced at that.

    I laughed 😂

  6. Just a reminder ....

    In Sept 2022 #Coffey introduced a motion in Parliament which urged medical professionals to "assess for mental disorder" in women seeking an abortion.

    Yes, she really tried to get that written into law.

  7. #Coffey is asked exactly the same question 1.5 hours later after appearing on #Ridge about #braverman

    Even though on Ridge she said she has Braverman's phone number and presumably could have asked her various questions in the intervening time, she resorts to the same tactic of not knowing and feigning ignorance.

    This is shameful, embarrassing, and deplorable behaviour from one of our ministers.

    🤦‍♀️

  8. "There has been a record level of investment since privatisation," #Coffey helpfully explains ignoring the £400 million profit made by Thames Water in the last 6 months,

  9. #Coffey on #BBCLaurak says "We have over 400 designated bathing sites around the country"

    There's a problem with this designation though as it is based upon the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs stating that if the water has “a large number of bathers in relation to any infrastructure or facilities that are provided" the water can receive bathing status

  10. #Coffey justifies her #Nimby approach to not having wind turbine cables in her constituency because within it resides Sizewell B

    She does not mention, nor does #BBCLauraK point out, that Sizewell B operated from 1966 to 2006 and is currently being decommissioned.

  11. The brass neck of #Coffey of #Ridge saying:
    "Our bathing waters are cleaner than ever before"

    (ahem)

    UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs say that if the water has “a large number of bathers in relation to any infrastructure or facilities that are provided" the water can receive bathing status

    even if

    people are

    swimming in shit.

  12. "How do you know the [immigration]numbers will come down? Is it based on the magical promise of the Prime Minister?" asks Sophy #Ridge to the know-nothing #Coffey

  13. "I don't make it my business to phone people at twenty-past seven in the morning," #Coffey says on #Ridge ignoring the fact the story broke the previous evening at 5:00pm

    🤦‍♀️

  14. Upon saying she doesn't know, Sophy #Ridge skewers #Coffey with: "Do you have the Home Secretary's phone number? Why don't you message her then?"

    Coffey looks floundered here and is unable to formulate a response.

  15. “Day two of the Unicorn Kingdom. A world where fantasy always outdoes reality. That fair and septic isle.” 😂

    #Environment #Water #Coffey not coffee (you wouldn’t want to make coffee with the swill she’s been allowing)

  16. Got to ask whether the photo accompanying this piece would inspire you to take your kids for a dip? #Coffey turns up (without her swimming costume) for a grey photoshoot in her own constituency on the River Debden in #Suffolk proclaiming it to be safe to swim in. How little self-preservation would you need to have to believe or vote for this?

  17. It was wonderful to introduce my kids to Blackadder and Baldrick via #ComicRelief and CBeebies Bedtime Stories - they loved it! And I loved the fact the writers and illustrator (Chris #Riddell) had incorporated Therese #Coffey ‘s recent comments to the effect of ‘Let them eat turnips’.

    Great to see the BBC pushing back against #Tory diktat and encouraging younger generation to be kinder than those that govern us.

  18. M&S displays daffodils alongside spring onions in the "seasonals" veg section bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64813653

    Perhaps they were just following advice from Coffey but trying to add some diversity to the limited diet of turnips...
