Rishi Sunak’s reshuffle saw Thérèse Coffey back at environment after she briefly cosplayed as deputy prime minister and health secretary under Liz Truss.
And the environment has been at the top of the news today after the latest dire climate predictions and news that Sunak won’t be going to the Cop 27 summit where he might be able to do something about it.
So it was only natural that BBC Breakfast presenter Rachel Burden should ask Coffey what she was doing to help and the environment secretary’s reply – the environment secretary – got just the 3-word response she deserved.
Rachel Burden – What are you doing in your own life to address environment concerns?

Bravo, Rachel Burden.
And just a few of the things people were saying about the exchange today.
“So, reusable cups then.”
Wonderful work from @rachelburden. Our country is buggered.

This is the Secretary of State for the Environment and despite being a ranty and no doubt often boring polemicist, I am actually lost for words. pic.twitter.com/jy4rdnlEvG

She was actually asked what she is doing in her personal life to address her "climate concerns", so her answer – "reusable cups" – is even worse than it appears.
And that's before you get onto the issue of govt action vs "personal" action https://t.co/tXw9MuGyls
