If you read one 🧵 this day/week/month, then please make it this one. I've been fighting dangerous and ill-conceived attacks on nature laws for over a decade - and this is the most potentially catastrophic that I have seen. 👇

At the moment, the UK feels like when Scar and his mates took over the Pridelands in The Lion King

This is hugely significant - Govt has massively under-estimated opposition to its environmental vandalism - and this is just the start👇

Every time you hear the word 'deregulation', think 'more poo in my local river'. Because, in practice, that is the kind of thing it will mean

Recall of Parliament. Vote of No Confidence. General Election. Retweet if you want this to happen. Now.

This needs to be RTd and RTd again and again. What is the Government’s plan to protect primary school children from Covid infection, and reinfection, and unknown consequences of #longcovid this winter?!

Rishi Sunak’s estimated wealth is £730 million. A worker earning the median wage (£31,772) would need to have been working since the Stone Age 22,976 years ago to amass the same. And that’s without tax. Remember it when he tells you to tighten your belt. #EnoughIsEnough

Brit 1: “I’m so sorry, I’m going to have to cancel” Brit 2: “Oh don’t worry, let’s do something in the new year” <Both Brits nearly pass out with relief>

Facts. Masks reduce your risk of inhaling and getting COVID-19. Good fitting respirators work even better. Anyone who tells you differently is either misinformed, has a conflict of interest, ignorant, or brainwashed. Letting them control the dialog has led to this pandemic.

Why are children told to go into schools covid positive but the elite at Davos are PCR tested and if positive their entry refused?

SAJID JAVID Wants us to pay for GP and A&E visits. We already do mate....it's called paying our taxes!! Something a number of your cabinet friends seem to have issues with! Zahawi Sunak's wife Who else I wonder? theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

What hope for wildlife in Basingstoke? nplsecondnature.com/2023/05/15/wha…

Can we please stop calling them “sewage spills”. Spills are accidents. These are deliberate acts of environmental vandalism. The cost of getting privatised utilities to clean them up will now be added to our bills. The water industry paid £1.4bn to shareholders last year

Covid inquiry: "This was the wrong crisis for the Prime Minister." What would be the right crisis for Johnson? "Someone's pulled out of Have I Got News For You - can you step in?" "Can you revive any slang from the Molesworth books by teatime?" "I'm pregnant."

As a palliative care doctor, I find this contempt for human life to be foul. You can be old & have value. You can be disabled & have value. You can be in the last days of your life & yet you still have value. No-one is worthless & no-one but no-one deserves to be culled.

Grotesque & devoid of the level of understanding & care that anyone with the responsibility of the highest office in the land at that time of great national crisis should have had. We knew, but it's deeply upsetting to see it all in black & white. All eyes on Johnson’s enablers.

Wake up ! The whole wide world is sick of the barbaric , anachronistic , entitled and abject cruelty to wildlife still currently perpetuated by hunting . Top work by the RNLI , a charity dedicated to saving lives - not wasting them . Maybe offer your blood money to the weapons

Shocking! Today Southern Water are discharging sewage into the iconic River Test at Chilbolton Common. Both designated SSSIs. We have 85% of the world’s chalk rivers. We must do better than this! Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust Feargal Sharkey Wessex Rivers Trust #sewagescandal Fish Legal
