Animals have been failed by @UKLabour “The government has shown that should it ever become inconvenient to follow the law to protect animals, they will simply change the law to allow the practice” theguardian.com/world/2025/j…

Labour has not implemented a single animal welfare pledge, say campaigners

Ban on foie gras imports and hunting trophies not brought in, while rules protecting chickens have been weakened

Met police accused of ‘assault on right to protest’ after tenfold rise in nuisance law arrests

FoI requests also reveal that since 2019 less than 3% of those held under law in London were prosecuted

How I'm trying to adapt to my new, smaller life with #LongCovid. I lost my job. I lost my role as a local councillor. I'm housebound. I can't do much with my kids & partner. And I can't do many of the things I love due to the constant fatigue. But I have to try and carry on🧵

“More people die of diet-related disease than from car crashes” amp.theguardian.com/lifeands…

‘We have learned to have low expectations’: why can’t British hospitals serve better food?

After spending years in and out of hospital with my daughter, I know the patients’ food isn’t usually very good. But does it have to be this way?

Need “for a clampdown on people posing as therapists without appropriate credentials… The government “needs to act swiftly in order to make sure people aren’t able to continue practising where they’ve caused harm, & that patients are protected” #therapy amp.theguardian.com/society/…

MPs urge government to regulate UK psychotherapists and counsellors

MPs with experience in mental health say lack of statutory regulation leaves people vulnerable to harm

I've been following a number of family court parental alienation cases over the last 18 months & have seen a pattern of mothers making allegations of domestic abuse or child sex abuse being invited to undergo psychological assessments before being labelled mad, bad or unstable.🧵

Can we feed a future population of 10 billion people within planetary boundaries? Yes! Great news! We just need to shift to a plant predominant diet - & as a bonus this has many health co-benefits. Even better news! #VegMed2023 @DrLauraFreeman
