I love birds and I’m furious that the UK Government has launched an #AttackOnNature. I have written urgently to my MP, Greg Smith. Will you email yours? Follow this link, it makes it very straightforward. action.rspb.org.uk/page/1140…

Can you help me stop this #AttackOnNature @gregsmith_uk? Nature groups are worried, and so am I! There are Gov plans to rip up nature rules and renege on manifesto commitments! Please ask @DEFRA & @trussliz to listen to @WildlifeTrusts and others, you must #DefendNature

Is it too much to ask in @BorisJohnson Britain that the new Education Minister set an example to our nations children and not show the general public her middle finger.

How long can she continue in Post. She is not seen on TV or heard on radio, and all she touches turns to dust

He is of course right, but why did he not close them when he was Health Secretary? @Jeremy_Hunt @LearningDisEng
Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee Jeremy Hunt says the UK's treatment of people with autism "shames a civilised society", after a report says there is a "shocking" six-year average length of stay in assessment and treatment units.

Select committee chair Jeremy Hunt rightly calls for action on 'national shame' of 2,000 autistic/learning disabled ppl locked in assessment & treatment units.
A health secretary has powers to act here.
For those with short memories, Hunt was health secretary 2012-2018.

Self-advocates from our team loved today’s #BigIdeas meeting – talking about who is and who isn’t allowed to speak 🔇 Great #LearnandShare conversations based on role playing & supporting Cinderella aka @liz_tilley24 to have a voice #BeCreative #SelfAdvocacyWorks

Has she got a magic wand she has not yet told us about?

Maybe we can have John Bercow back as MP for Buckingham? He would definitely be an improvement on the current anonymity @johnbercow1

John Bercow, who is Jewish, had the integrity and decency to make it crystal clear that Jeremy Corbyn is not an antisemite
For a multitude of reasons I - who am also Jewish but have never met Corbyn - know this is 100% correct
SHAME ON ALL THE OTHER MPs WHO CRAVENLY KEPT QUIET

Things that made us smile this week are building a shed, first poppies, family memories, sleepy puppy, fish n chips, seeing partners, birthday drinks, summer hats and a cat in a box. #smilepostcard #selfadvocacyworks #staypositive #spreadjoy #StayConnected #StrongerTogether

A real privilege for self-advocates from our team & @SpeakupSA to connect with & listen to self-advocates/allies from Canada today to have #LearnandShare conversations about the Covid vaccination programme together. So looking forward to building on this work #SelfAdvocacyWorks
