This is your supply chain busy at work @Tesco.
Stop hiding behind “collective responsibility” excuses and just do something about it.
Terminate all supplier relationships with poultry producers who are dumping 🐓💩 in the Wye Catchment NOW

The Bank of England reporting that Brexit is costing the UK £444 million a week. Let’s just let that sink in. Maybe summat for the side of one of your model buses @BorisJohnson

⚡️⚡️⚡️ Reserve diesel generators enough for next 48-hour. After that, cooling systems will stop, making radiation leaks imminent. ☢️☢️☢️

The only electrical grid supplying the Chornobyl NPP and all its nuclear facilities occupied by Russian army is damaged. CNPP lost all electric supply. I call on the international community to urgently demand Russia to cease fire and allow repair units to restore power supply 1/2

Over 500 international students, mostly Nigerian, trapped in Sumy, Ukraine after being kept off trains & threatened by armed guards. The racist treatment of Black students demonstrates how war and racism combine to hit our communities theguardian.com/world/2022/m…

CPRE designated landscape around Winney Hill and Old River Bed south of it, adjacent to the proposed large housing development, as Grade One in quality.
Incorrect for the developers to claim it's of low ecological quality. It's a wildlife corridor. @cpreshropshire

This is one of Starmer’s best Commons performances. Calm, measured, but prosecutorial and damning about the man opposite him: a “man without shame”. Tories receiving it in ominous silence.

Just found this “They've switched off the cameras so you can't see the queues heading for Dover, and the media isn't reporting it”.

I wish to apologise for voting for @jeremycorbyn a thread🧵👇🏾
I’m sorry he called for us to follow the science when there were only 35 Covid deaths

"The government seems complacent"
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says he has written a letter to the prime minister asking why advice on coronavirus "is different to that given in almost every other European country"

The image was captured by a student paramedic who wrote: "Currently at the back of a 22 ambulance queue. No movement in 6 hours. Staff are broken, the hospital is full. This is not sustainable"

Fund OUR NHS properly!
"Germany had nearly SIX times as many intensive care beds as the UK.. virtually all countries in Europe spending more per capita than the UK"
@DrTonyOSullivan @keepnhspublic explains how the government's failure to invest in our NHS led to deaths

The. NHS. Is. Not. Overwhelmed. By. Covid.
It never has been.
And even if it got a bit busy, that's not a good enough reason to foul up the lives of the fit and healthy.
Providing healthcare is what we pay all 1,400,000 of them to do. That's their job

“We found that there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10%, then the amount of driving in that city went up by 10%.”
One of the best articles on why building bigger roads just leads to more driving. V/@WIRED wired.com/2014/06/wuwt-traff…

Planting and restoring thousands of miles of hedgerows could help us get one step closer to limiting the worst excesses of climate change, while also providing a home for nature.
Call on the government to champion hedgerows. Sign the petition 👇

Tories justify privatising our NHS with the defence ‘It is still free at the point of use’
• Beware of this con. 26 NHS treatments are now rationed. 5 mill are now stranded on waiting lists
• Tories choke off access to treatment to drive people into the arms of private health

Out and about in Scotland and plenty of 20 mph wide area zones, even straddling A roads and no evidence of traffic carnage 🤔 @20Buntingford and @20forStAlbans likely to be unsurprised and jealous #20splenty

You were the Brexit Chief Negotiator
Your eyes were wide open
Your fingerprints are on every page of the protocol
Ppl here rejected Brexit
Protocol protects us against worst impact of Brexit
Ppl here don’t trust British Gov
The next agreement you implement will be your 1st
