I am appalled by the horrific events in Ukraine and I have spoken to President Zelenskyy to discuss next steps.
President Putin has chosen a path of bloodshed and destruction by launching this unprovoked attack on Ukraine.
The UK and our allies will respond decisively.

In the chamber this week, I raised @TwycrossZoo's bid for a National Science & Conservation Centre, which I was delighted to recommend for the Levelling Up Fund back in June. Its would be a fantastic boost for the local economy, building on the 600,000 visitors the zoo has!

"L’Hoest’s monkeys live in groups, with one male leader who's responsible for looking after everyone. We thought that it was only right to honour Gareth Southgate and name our newest addition after him, given his excellent leadership skills." 2/2

The findings illustrate the urgent need to act #ForNature and protect the #rainforests we all depend on.

When we saw Nona licking her hands, we weren't sure what she was eating. But it seems she may have found a sweet treat of honey up in the trees. Watch until the end to see Nona's descent after calls from a nearby chimp group disturbed her snacking. apeactionafrica.org/adopt-an…
