A packed #LabourConference23 conference hall and hundreds listening outside in the spill over ....what a difference to the dirge of the Tory conference.
The Tories time is over. They know it. We know it. But they need to never return.
Tactical voting will help that happen 👍🏼

Sadly many still locked outside as a packed hall listens to @RachelReevesMP #LabourConference23 speech.
Never seen a conference so packed.

“Bill” was taken back to Gallipoli to help bury the dead and retrieve artefacts from the battlefield. Afterwards, Bill and his best friend, a grey mare called Penny, were left with @CWGC . Bill died peacefully in 1924 and has his own grave in our premises.

Today, on #WorldAnimalDay , we're sharing photos of animals and headstones, like this one of a wild turkey wandering through Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Do you have any photos of animals in our sites? We'd love to see them in the comments!

I've signed.
Rishi Sunak said this week that "nobody wants a general election".
Well it seems that more than 110,000 people do so far.

"Demand for water will outstrip supply say water companies."
The next crisis facing the water industry is right there, we are running out of water & I hear that WC's regional water plans aren't worth the paper they're written on.
Why am I not surprised.

"South West Water fined £2.1m for pollution offences."
That is the 161st time @SouthWestWaterhas been fined over the last 10 years, a total of £4,573,634. Fines don't work, something else needs to done.
@NickFerrariLBC was right, time for jail.
