Royal Mail has been told that it could save £650m by only delivering things 3 days a week. Did you know that the taxpayer could save £4,000m a year if Royal Mail had never been privatised, or if it was renationalised, and deliver 5 days a week. I'd go with that.

Our wildlife is at risk. UK Government has approved the use of a deadly, bee-killing pesticide. Why, when we owe so much to our pollinators, are they being put in danger? Find out more and ask British Sugar to help farmers sell neonic-free sugar.👉 wtru.st/back-beet-farm…

Encountered a hunt yesterday whilst out walking at Haytor on Dartmoor. Shortly before they arrived, we'd also seen a fox bolting across the moor. Presumably the hunt had driven it from its hole ('earth') and blocked the entrance? Thought fox hunting was illegal? 🤔

The UK government's criminalisation of rough sleeping, now passing through Parliament in the Criminal Justice Bill, is overseen by a Prime Minister who owns four luxury homes for his own use. One of them, in Kensington, is reserved for accommodating family guests.🧵

These rivers have all tested +ve for thiamethoxam since 2020 (data from Env Agency). This neonicotinoid was banned in Europe in 2018, but is allowed on sugar beet crops in UK. That is its only authorised use. Yet it is turning up in rivers all over the place... Hugely concerning.

It’s their last day!!! Can you help? Day 107 of walking from Lands End to John O’Groats for Indy Kiemel Greene and Katie Monk, raising money for Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust! They’re so close to 15K - donate if you can to support them over the finish line! 🐋🤩

I've launched a new petition calling for Wealth Taxes, not more cuts. I'll be presenting this in Parliament ahead of the coming Budget. The very wealthiest must be the ones who pay for the investment our public services so desperately need. change.org/p/we-need-weal…

Note to Lee Anderson MP . Just as you should never be rude to waiting staff in restaurants unless you are a fan of having bodily fluids added to your food before it is served to you**, it is inadvisable to threaten 'to come after' a popular satirical television programme unless

If you don't think it's democratic that 33.7% of votes should give a party nearly 64% of the seats in Parliament, then please, sign and share as much as you can. Currently, your vote can be wasted, it can be ignored. Get your voice heard. Equality for all. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7280…
