Maggie Lloyd Jones saw my Ted Talk on the lack of touch in the care system. In 2018 Maggie responded by providing a quilt as a gift to the guests at our Christmas Dinners. Maggie started a movement and a registered charity called #quiltsforcareleavers

Fantastic news about the lifting the onshore wind ban @Ed_Miliband 🙌🏼What about the Future Homes and Buildings Standards, ensuring @RachelReevesMP 1.5 million new homes are all future proofed for energy efficiency and the climate fight? @Kevin_McCloud @maryportas

The onshore wind ban has been in place for 9 years.
We've been in government for 72 hours, we've lifted it.
That's the pace we're going to move at.

This is an incredible piece of work by @JonathanPieNews.
From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance.
You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇

A lovely campaign approach here from @juliaaglionby in Cumbria - I love the idea of candidates moving slowly across every mile of their patch creating time and space for serendipitous encounters geographical revelations..@RestIsPolitics newsandstar.co.uk/news/24356…

These remarkable graphs from @jburnmurdoch, who I spoke to at 8.43 on @BBCr4today, show monumental, sudden, devastating social changes, which have civilisational consequences
It is just astonishing how little attention the complete transformation of young adulthood gets

Just published: ground-breaking study of over 23,000 RCTs in Cochrane reviews. Trials hugely underpowered for true effects. Consequently, “statistically significant” estimates seriously overestimate actual treatment effects, can’t trust them. evidence.nejm.org/doi/abs/10…

This summer with friends I swam 🏊♀️ the River Eden, Cumbria from Source to Sea. 80 miles!
Full coverage in @CWHerald this week
Many examples of positive management by farmers for nature but still much to do #SewageScandal #NatureRecovery

Totally, utterly, foolish. Where are the grown ups when you need them?

Today we are saying no to @JustStop_Oil and their political wing the Labour Party
We will power ahead with new oil and gas because it’s in the best interests of the British people, of our economy and of our national security

RT @Seasaver: Sadly we have to report that there has been another sickening massacre of pilot whales in the Faroe Islands.

Ridiculous comment by @WaterUK
Here we are another group of ‘problem’ swimmers demanding high water quality for #RiverEden by @unitedutilities
Unlike fish and amphibians we can keep our mouths out of the water when swimming.

"Water chief blames wild swimmers and canoeists for highlighting sewage scandal."
See, if only you'd all mind your own bloody business, stop swimming, canoeing, fishing and in fact being anywhere near a river none of this would have happened.
GOT THAT!

Huge drought pressures on wildlife in Cumbria.
Today was Leg 4 of our River Eden @TheBigSwim Many birds have retreated to the main river corridor due to harsh conditions & lack of water in tributaries & ponds.
River Eden while good in places requires wider buffers- Wildways

Day 3: Kirkby Stephen to Warcop 🧱
Focus: Frank’s Bridge in KS, where sewage was released on 39 days in 2022 @unitedutilities
The ruck raft acting as a brilliant waste truck for all that we found!

Stage 1: Source to Sea #RiverEden
What a brilliant day yesterday- a paddle rather than a swim but we saw fantastic examples of river bank tree planting and regen plus all the planting on Mallerstang East and West Commons. 1/2

The first day of our adventure : Hellgill to Pendragon Castle 🏰
Beautiful Indiana Jones landscapes, abundant wildlife, another heron appearance - what more could we wish for on this gorgeous day?

So inspiring to see thousands out on the streets today. The demands for Govt are clear:
- Tell the truth about the #climateemergency
- Stop being complicit in countless climate crimes from oil fields to coal mines
- Keep new fossil fuels in the ground & #StopRosebank
