he was defeated as a conservative mp at the 2019 election, but zac goldsmith was give a seat in the lordscontinued to be a government minister for the international environment. until today. yesterday, he was criticised by the committee that found borisjohnson had lied to parliament. zac goldsmith had agreed with those who called it a kangaroo court. quickly on lord goldsmith, he was asked to apologise for his comments about the committee, i felt those were incompatible with his position as a minister. he has chosen to take a different course. i accept that. i'm proud of the record of this government and of zac in government making sure that we tackle climate change. but lord goldsmith doesn't seem to be quite as proud of the government's record on climate change. his coruscating resignation letter focuses on policy and the prime minister himself. he said: what's notable about the resignation letter isn'tjust what he says, but what he doesn't. he makes no mention of the committee that gave his friend borisjohnson a kicking. he doesn't say his criticisms of that committee had anything to d

as a close ally of borisjohnson's it perhaps unsurprising that lord goldsmith has criticised the currents politically wounding. since that report, othered goldsmith saying that he is happy to apologise for that criticism —— lord goldsmith happy to apologise for that criticism aimed at the select committee but that his resignation today was all about what he is described as the lethargy of rishi sunak and the government around climate change, so that spat is obviously ongoing. around the world and across the uk this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. she was possibly the most vibrant, lovely, fun, outgoing sister and girl anybody could ever meet. she was so much fun, best friend. max, with his parents and a good friend at their home in nailsea. three years on, and billie is always in their thoughts. they've set up a trust and, together with friends, are constantly fundraising to make sure billie won't be forgotten. it's here at southmead hospital that billie died from a brain aneurysm with complications. some of that money raised will fund two new r

he was lord goldsmith has had to say?ce on environmental issues for many years. his resignation letter has made some pretty extraordinary criticisms of the government record on it but also of the rishi sunak, the prime minister. in his letter, he sets out some of the things the government has achieved over the last four years but he says that the uk has now visibly stepped off the world stage and have withdrawn our leadership on climate and nature. he accused the government of apathy in the face of the greatest challenge we have faith which he says made his role untenable and he pinned that apathy to rishi sunak personally. he said it is not that the government is hostile to the environment, it is that you, our prime minister is simply uninterested. that has trickled down whitehall and this comes a few days after the government watchdog committee on climate change said that the uk had lost its status as a world leader on climate issues. but the timing of this is really interesting because as you set out there, lord goldsm

quickly, on lord goldsmith. he was- quickly, on lord goldsmith. do so as you will see. on your question about the plan, you have heard how amanda and steve and numerous other health care bodies have described it today, landmark, historic, momentous, important, the first summit is happening 75 years. so it was important that we got it right because this is a very important day. this sets the nhs up for decades to come so taking the time to get it right is absolutely the correct course of action. as you will see from the plan today, it is very comprehensive. there are three strands to it. it is notjust about training more staff, that is important but the two other strands are also important. how do we retain our fantastic are also important. how do we retain ourfantastic nhs are also important. how do we retain our fantastic nhs workers? we know we need to do a betterjob of that and we have a clear initiative and proposals but also reform. i know that everyone wants to know the government is backing the nhs funding, record sums have been put in by m
