Utterly eurphoric opening night for @bellowheaduk Once again a band reborn and refreshed. The first 75 minutes is almost entirely different to the 2022 tour. I don’t know how they do it. A rare, precious and wonderful thing Incredible live sound from @magicandy81

Budds Farm is currently discharging sewage and we haven’t had rain for days. It’s high tide.

“Where people face repression and rights violations every day, activists see a clearer connection... We can’t talk about the climate if we can’t even go out on the street and hold a sign. Climate activism and human rights are united.”

"And we will scrap tuition fees and bring back maintenance grants. Free education for all throughout your life. That is the prospect that [the Tories] would have us believe is so terrifying"
Turns out not just the Tories!

From the 5 March to 2020 to 5 May 2023, almost **230,000 British people** died of COVID. Look at those two large waves before vaccines became available. Let's not let certain politicians erase what happened, and what a massive once-in-a-lifetime crisis and loss of life this was.

No mandate?!?!?
That's utter nonsense @10DowningStreet !!
The government says it's dropping the Chalk Stream Recovery Pack because there's "no mandate" for it. Anyone else feel like there's more public support for saving our dying chalk streams than cutting the Winter Fuel Payment?

Seems fitting to come back from marching in London yesterday, only to find places around Windermere turning green…
Thoughts @Keir_Starmer and @SteveReedMP ?

'This is one of the grimmest things I've ever read about my country.'
'They are taking the mickey!'
@mrjamesob reacts to the Royal Family's 'obviously egregious and completely indefensible' receipt of millions in rent income from the NHS, schools, and the armed forces.

Mark my words, unless @Keir_Starmer makes a public broadcast of scientists explaining the facts of the climate emergency to the public, it will be the thing that brings his govt down. What happened in Valencia will happen here, it's just a matter of time. We had a near miss with the record heatwave in 2022. If it had lasted for two weeks huge numbers would have died. We are in unprecedented times with no politicians stepping up to the moment. Wake up @Ed_Miliband @jessphillips @AngelaRayner @angelaeagle @DavidLammy PLEASE bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

Goodbye Rabbit Hill, we have climbed you for years to see the view, walk dogs, sledged down you in the snow, home to many animals and flattened in one day by @Wykeland and @East_Riding all part of granting planning permission to @AmazonUK 😢 destruction of our green space

As the government tries to quietly drop the chalk stream recovery pack, a reminder, politicians, that setting chalk streams on the path to recovery is 1 of 2 things you need to do if you want that pesky @Feargal_Sharkey to go away & leave you in peace.

Catastrophic news for England’s precious chalk streams‼️DEFRA abandons chalk stream recovery plan‼️We need an holistic approach not only addressing raw sewage overflows but all pressures eg phosphorus discharge and water abstraction etc to fix our rivers chalkstreams.org/2024/11/02/…

Laura Kuenssberg blatantly framing the budget as an attack on class.
Never mind poverty- “rightly or wrongly you’ve put taxes up on private jets and private schools”
On the other hand Kemi Badenoch is introduced as the “bold and radical” new leader of opposition.

Unbelievable. What on earth are you playing at, @NHSEngland? How can it possibly serve patients to pretend PAs with neither medical degree nor any post-grad medical exams can teach qualified doctors? This is cut-price, reckless & arrogant. Patients deserve better, @wesstreeting.
I really don’t know what to say.
Is it appropriate to have a PA teaching medical students or F1/F2 doctors?
