Robert Forbes died today a few hours ago. He was on the floor while these cops let the driver smoke a cigarette. ALL COPS #acab – at Los Angeles, CA
This man ran over a black protestor and the police would not put him in hand cuffs and let him stand around and smoke a cigarette and protected him. The man he hit is #RobertForbes

This is as important as things get. The model of food production led by the US has helped make us humans extra vulnerable to Covid, it tortures animals & it trashes the planet. Please retweet & sign
Do you agree with @jamieoliver that British farming’s world leading standards have never been more important? Sign our petition that urges the government not to import food through future trade deals that would be illegal for our farmers to produce here: countrysideonline.co.uk/back…

I’ve seen this letter on our local FB page from the Totnes Tory MP who has obviously forgotten to remove the cut and paste instructions from Tory party Central office. Just shows how uncaring they are - do feel free to RT #BorisJohnsonMustGo #SackDom

Amid all the coverage of the PM’s health I trust stories like this will not be forgotten by our broadcasters. Horrendous.

On the day it’s emerged that this government are cutting funding to farmers by 25%, seems apt to share this clip of Mr B.Johnson on 2 June 2016 guaranteeing farmers funding in event of brexit. #HoldThemToAccount Cc @Farmers4EU @NFUtweets

Here is the kind of climate change feedback that was being warned about two decades & more ago. High temperature, permafrost melt, peat & trees burning with black carbon fallout hastening ice melt, all causing more warming. ‘Emergency’ does seem right word bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-…

Many of us are becoming disconnected from #Nature’s cycles, no longer eating seasonally or working in an #environment regulated by the seasons. How does this affect our mental and physical #wellbeing? bit.ly/2V9q0h2

One of the UK's largest marches in history and the largest ever petition. A massively more informed public. Paralysed parliament. The democratic choice, the moral choice, is to put it to the people. Now you have read the fine print, are you sure? #PutitothePeopleMarch

2/3rds of UK farmland is under grass, mostly for sound environmental reasons. This is our major carbon store and an important food-producing resource. Keeping #ruminants on this land is the only practical way to get dietary proteins and fats from it. bit.ly/2yZA4gf
