It has been a privilege to have been able to make a difference to a cause I have been committed to for as long as I remember. But this govt’s apathy in the face of the greatest challenge we face makes continuing in my role untenable. Reluctantly I am therefore stepping down
@ZacGoldsmith @ZacGoldsmith you have been such a brilliant Minister and just wanted to thank you for so many achievements across so many areas and it was so good working with you on the Ivory Ban
@ZacGoldsmith Zac, you have always been admired as man of principle . Always right 👍
@ZacGoldsmith Thank you so much Zac for supporting our campaign for #TuksLaw and being such a positive influence on animal welfare and the environment both in the UK and abroad. We can’t really adequately put into words how important you have been to us. Dawn & Sue
@ZacGoldsmith The party is losing another dedicated minister. Sorry you've stepped down @ZacGoldsmith but your a man who gives 💯 in what he chose to complete.what ashame the support was not there.
@ZacGoldsmith What you have achieved has been nothing short of remarkable. You are easily one of the finest environment leaders we have seen. Thank you for your courage and vision. Our planet is better because of your work.
