Devastated to hear the decision of Planning Inspectors to allow the expansion of Bristol Airport. The decision tramples on local democracy, makes a mockery of the UK’s COP 26 commitments and sets an precedent for other airport expansion plans #BristolAirport

If you make someone your punchline, make sure you're punching up, not down. Otherwise, you're not funny; you're just being a dick.

“Goblin mode” - an immediate addition to my daily vocabulary.

I have said this often, but it is worth repeating: Even if a (very) few plants DO grow better in a peat-based compost that does not justify peat extraction. A (very) small loss of quality in a garden does not EVER justify peat use.

Climate change action must now be considered vital for our national security. No wonder Farage hates it.

Here is a concrete, little-known example of how Channel 4 provides value to UK citizens **without costing us any money**, and why privatising the broadcaster will 🚨strip this value away🚨 The year was 2010... 🧵🪡 1/15

Hugely important feature from The House magazine - the secret caseworker describes the realities of the job politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

If a water company can't afford to afford to fix their leaky pipes, they certainly can't afford to pay their CEO millions of pounds.

The thing with screen readers, yeah? They sometimes say 'capital letter' out loud before every capital letter, so while this meme is legit funny, it can be painful for anyone using screen reading technology, so I'm just gonna talk directly into your ear canal, alright?

More than a quarter of NHS trusts operate food banks for staff. The healthy life expectancy gap between the richest and poorest Britons is nearly 20 years. If ministers really do think they can "trim the fat" from benefits, it's arguably beckoning in a humanitarian crisis.

Did you clap our NHS workers during the pandemic? In the coming weeks, nurses, junior doctors, ambulance service and other health workers will ballot to strike. They’re fighting for better – because claps don’t pay the bills. RT if you’re behind them 👊 #EnoughlsEnough

FAO anyone who would like to work with B&NES Lib Dem Councillors (and me!) It’s a part time role and the deadline is 17 August.

Alongside B&NES Council, I'm backing the Debate Not Hate campaign by Local Government Association (LGA). 70% of councillors have experienced abuse or intimidation. This has no place in our politics. Debate is vital for a thriving democracy, but we must promote respectful discussion over threats and abuse.

Shout out to the wounderdul Dine Romero good luck in her wingwalk today
