    “I am so happy that with today’s announcement, the world is one step closer to a polio-free world”. Jim Bailey, who contracted polio in Belfast in 1957, reacts to today’s news that Africa has been declared free of wild polio. The UK is a global leader in the push to end polio.pic.twitter.com/CKsKfL8LYt

    #UKaid has helped 66 million people deal with the effects of climate change, provided 33 million with improved access to clean energy and avoided 31 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. That’s equivalent to 6.7 million cars off the road for a year: https://gov.uk/government/news/uk-helps-reduce-more-than-30-million-tonnes-of-greenhouse-gas-emissions-globally pic.twitter.com/pK8XMPtb8j
