With the #COP15 biodiversity summit ongoing in Montreal, I visited the wonderful @RSPBEngland reserve at Minsmere. A pleasure as ever to visit and thanks to Site Manager Nick Forster for showing me round and telling me about the RSPB's great work for nature. During the visit - in Thérèse Coffey's constituency - I called on the Environment Secretary to reverse the government's attacks on nature which the RSPB, Wildlife Trusts and others have rightly criticised.

I'm delighted to launch my campaign to become MP for the new Waveney Valley seat
