Wow.
Some of the comments on here from fellow progressives, about Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal family, have been appalling.
Opinions are fine, but sometimes it isn’t what you say but how you say it.
Time to take a break from Twitter.
🚨BREAKING🚨
The situation with Her Majesty the Queen is serious!
Liz Truss, Keir Starmer, Ed Davey and Ian Blackford have all been urgently notified of developments while in Westminster.
Princes Charles, William, Andrew, Edward, & Princess Anne, are all rushing to her side.
I’m sure Liz Truss’ husband is thrilled that Kwasi Kwarteng, the man Liz had an affair with, is moving in to the flat next door.
Right now, Conservatives (in and out of parliament) are more bothered about a comedian mocking them on a BBC political show than they are about WHY that comedian mocked them.
When they said the British were idle workers, they were clearly talking about themselves.
In 2019, the Lib Dems vote share increased by 4.2%, but they had 1 seat less than in 2017.
While the SNP gained only 0.8% vote share, and gained 13 more seats.
The UK is NOT a democracy. We need #ProportionalRepresentation and we need it now.

Pakistan is decimated by floods, killing 1200+ people.
Italy had hail the size of golf balls.
Rivers have run dry in China, France, Britain…
Wildfires ripped through Portugal and Spain.
Drought is happening globally.
It is happening. The planet is dying. We just act NOW!

World's largest country, with a shortage of young people, sacrifices young people to try to grab more land.

'This is my country.'
Sangita Myska educates this caller who tells her to 'shut up' about improving the UK because she wasn't born here.
@SangitaMyska
It’s about time we figured it out and stood up for ourselves.
This Tory government is dependent on our complacency.
“We want politicians to be like us, not a stuffy old elitist who thinks they’re better than us.”

Putin is fuelling the anti-Marin movement btw.

This is the Loire, the longest river in France. It's gone now. It evaporated. That hasn't happened in at least 2000 years, and likely not at any time in recorded human history.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The first photo is a fork of the Loire river, which is not always full even in normal conditions.

Webcam showing the main branch of the Loire is more full: skaping.com/angers/panorama

Follow me if you want Labour, SNP, Plaid Cymru, LibDems and the Greens to unite and finally end the Tories reign of terror! Happy #FollowBackFriday folks, I'm happy to follow all back! #FBPE #NeverVoteConservative
Same story about #FreyaTheWalrus.
Two different ways of telling it.
Words matter. Be careful whose words you listen to.

#BREAKING Government ministers supporting the plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda were warned by their own adviser that the Rwandan government tortures and kills its political opponents, the High Court has heard.
To critics; we support progressivism, not a party.
The point being made was that Labour should not be seen as the default progressive party, and the @LibDems deserve recognition for leading progressive policies in the UK.
We continue to support a #ProgressiveAlliance.
The @LibDems called for a Windfall Tax.
Labour took weeks to finally join calls for one - then took credit for it.
The Lib Dems called for an energy price cap. Labour mocked it
Now Labour are calling for one.
If you support progressive politics it’s time to back the Lib Dems.
