  1. "@guardianeco: Bumblebee lost to UK makes comeback on Dungeness shingle gu.com/p/37p74/tf" Good Luck!
  2. Am on BBC1 Sunday Politics (the SouthEast bit!) today at earlier than usual time of 11am talking social care, water shortages & environment
  3. Had lunch with wonderful Dame Kelly Holmes at #Heathfield Show who got us all very excited about London 2012 twitter.com/GregBarkerMP/s…
  4. Loved the #Heathfield country Show today, especially all the young children making friends with the hounds twitter.com/GregBarkerMP/s…
  5. Will be spelling out in much more detail ambitions for big #solar deployment & how we get there with stakeholders next week
  6. Big range of long term scenarios in DECC IA doc but 22GW still very much the ambition. Can achieve if we get #solar to grid parity by 2019
  7. FoE furious @lucianaberger for using Parliament to misrepresent conversation with Friends of the Earth.
  8. Glad to confirm new #solar tariffs wont kick in now til August 1 not July 1. Further cuts in November depend entirely on deployment level
  9. A million homes with #solar panels by 2015, thats our ambition. Ed Miliband's scheme aimed to deliver a quarter of that at much higher cost.
  10. New #Solar #FITS framework will help drive down costs & ensure subsidy supports maximum deployment not bumper returns for a few.
