This is great to hear about, let's see similar changes in the UK, especially if it can also support local producers... I know The Larder Sustain and many others have been campaigning for this in Lancashire and the UK for years. @UCLanResearch Food Ethics Council Sustain

Great new report out from The Wildlife Trusts and Nature Friendly Farming Network showing how farming with nature is financially sensible and farm future proofing. Great case studies and financial analysis

I can't agree with this more; more local buying and spending means more local prosperity and sustainability. 'More local' has to be the future....

No words. When each day brings new, irrefutable evidence of harm from #climatebreakdown and no chance of keeping within 1.5 degrees. And our government is cutting not accelerating action. Unforgivable.

Well that's that. Tried and waited, all day, only to be kicked out of the Ticketmaster queue when 3/4 way through. Due to 'lack of activity' even though I was on the laptop for the 20 minutes prior. Much better systems are needed, this is awful #Oasis #Ticketmaster #SeeTickets

I think it's safe to say all the Manchester gig tickets are sold out. This was the response after trying to get every ticket type multiple times. Also instantly kicked out at checkout 3 times. ticketmasteruk it's been shocking, serious improvements needed #Oasis #Ticketmaster
