I don't shoot grouse and I'm proud to say that I've just bought a new Bentley, helping to sustain jobs on my doorstep in Crewe. You don't have to ride a pushbike to be passionate about cutting plastic pollution and saving the rainforest.

My Sunday walk up Bickerton Hill is meant to lower my blood pressure - but then it gets pushed through the roof by idiots like this. How dim do you have to be to think that putting dog muck in a plastic bag and leaving it on the path improves the environment?

Thrilled to have the opportunity to share the soundtrack of my life by choosing eight discs, a book and a luxury item to take with me when I am cast away on my personal desert island, courtesy of @laurenlaverne and BBC Radio 4: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

I’m stunned and delighted to receive the great honour of a knighthood – and send many thanks to everyone who has congratulated me on it.

I give special thanks to all the many thousands of Iceland colleagues - present and past - who have helped me to achieve this.

Entrepreneurship & retailing are both vital to the UK’s wellbeing - by generating wealth to fund public services & support good causes.

Huge thanks to everyone who voted for me in The Grocer Cup. Winning is one of the absolute highlights of my 53 years in retailing.

Today I am announcing that Iceland is committing to become the first major retailer globally to eliminate plastic packaging from all of its own label products by 2023. #toocoolforplastic

Also at the end of Cabinet all members given a reusable coffee cup on behalf of Environment Agency ocean clear up team, and PM praised Iceland for its moves to restrict plastic packaging, but said more to be done and “now we want others to follow suit” @SkyOceanRescue

Last week I set out Government’s plan to leave our environment in a better state than we found it. I urged supermarkets to introduce plastic-free aisles and Iceland have today said they will eliminate plastic packaging by 2023 – I hope others follow suit. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5…

Far from being an ‘empty PR stunt’ our palm oil removal is driven by my direct personal experience of the devastation this industry is causing to the rainforest - and is costing Iceland Foods ❄️ millions, Jonathon Porritt.

Perhaps a bit ‘intellectually lazy’ of you not to mention your funding from a major palm oil producer, Jonathon Porritt? simedarbyplantation.com/media/news-hig…

Those who claim that sustainable palm oil is the answer to deforestation should take a long look at this picture from a recent Greenpeace International mission to West Papua. Forest cleared by a group that has many ties with the RSPO.
