It was an honour to be at @UKHouseofLords last week to listen to speeches from children. They were finalists in our @First_News “Speech Your Mind” competition, hosted by my friend @LordMcConnell. It’s important to listen to the voices of children because their ideas matter. They see the world in ways that adults sometimes miss. And they are not inhibited by political bias nor any other agenda. All their speeches - on war, nature loss, poverty, racism, acceptance, SEND and more - were from the heart and sincere. Thank you to the MPs who attended, to Lord Jack, to fellow judges Sky Kids’ Ian France @wwf_uk Lisa Lee and @ChildrensComm @Rachel_deSouza. Read all about it in this week’s First News and watch it at first.news/TV.

I was so proud to judge @First_News ‘Speech Your Mind' competition in which young people had their say on issues they cared about. It was a real pleasure to meet winners & runners-up last week at the House of Lords hosted by @LordMcConnell @FirstNewsEditor childrenscommissioner.gov.uk…

Is it time for fireworks to go out with a bang to be replaced with drone and laser light shows. Environmentalists and the @RSPCA_official think so. Their survey shows 9 out of 10 people agree. Vote in our @First_News poll at first.news/polls

We buy a million bottles of water every minute. For some people who don’t have access to safe water, it’s necessary. For the rest of us it’s a choice that is bad for our health and the planet.🌍 We can do better. @WCMQatar @Water @UNICEFEducation
