It was a wonderful honour to attend the interfaith reception for the Rt. Revd Dr. Michael Volland, the new Bishop of Birmingham.

As Andrew Smith rightly pointed out, the diversity in the city of B’ham & the surrounding areas is unique & no city gives a warmer welcome than ours 😇

Had a fantastic fun time hosting an interfaith reception for Bishop Michael - thanks to everyone who came @cofebirm Amrick Singh Ubhi Sukhwinder Singh @ClimateKkamCentre Bham Faith Leader's Grp BhamFaiths Benita Wishart Faithful Friends

Those hoping a change in government will bring a better deal for the environment may well be disappointed.

The growth duty is farcical. Regulators should regulate without fear or favour.
