Things the BBC News website hasn't reported...
1. The UK's largest tomato producer (650m/year) said part of the supply issue is definitely down to Brexit.
2. The UK's largest turnip grower has given up on growing turnips. Can't get the staff, because of Brexit.

ROSES ARE RED-...actually,technically,they're not. The ancient progenitor of the modern rose was 'green'. They survived for millions of years but died out around 1734. But good news! Mysteriously,they're starting to pop up in the wild again are enjoying a self propelled revival

The Conservatives are spending £200m on a Voter ID scheme to make it harder for you to vote. With zero advantages.
It would cost only £250m to give Nurses the 10% pay rise that would end their strike.
But of course that wouldn’t help the Conservatives.

The government admit they have spent more money fighting the striking rail workers than the rail workers were even asking for in wage rises.
This, for the government, has nothing to do with economic affordability & everything to do with breaking the working class.

🚨 NEW: Oil giant Shell has just recorded £32,200,000,000 in profit – the highest in 115 years.
Will we see its corporate executives named and shamed for being “greedy”?
Or does that only apply to teachers and nurses fighting for fair pay?

This is serious. Everyone needs to watch. Sunak’s outrageous anti strike bill is based on a government campaign of lies, misinformation & dishonesty. Tory MP’s voted for it anyway. The country must come together & stand against it

Stop me if you've heard this one before.
Government ignores own scientific advisers to "approve the use of a banned bee-killing pesticide just days after the European Union’s highest court blocked its deployment on the continent."

Boris Johnson wouldn't need to borrow £800,000 if he cooked from scratch and cancelled Netflix

Dear British Press,
There is nothing in Prince Harry’s autobiography as scandalous as the implosion of our NHS.
So please report on the things which are actually important
Thanks

Please read; the most important piece I've written. Mass poisoning has suddenly killed off most sea life for 30 miles by the Tees. The govt claims it's natural; ind scientists warn it's manmade. The govt is desperate not to inquire too deeply as its freeport policy is at stake.

A new law begins its journey through parliament today to limit your right to strike.
It is a violation of global human rights & marks the UK government out as a despotic regime.
We will fight it.

BREAKING 🚨 | The first reading of the bill to restrict the right to strike is TODAY.
If passed, this will mean health, education and other key workers will be forced to work - and SACKED if they don't comply.
MPs must reject this cynical legislation.

The NHS collapsing before our eyes, nurses using foodbanks, social care in perma-crisis, schools facing bankruptcy, rivers full of shit, privatised utilities brazenly ripping us off, licensed thieves walking off with billions, an epidemic of corruption. Enough of this misrule!

The UK just had its hottest year ever. In Europe right now, winter temperature records are being smashed.
We are in a #climateemergency caused by fossil fuel companies, propped up by this Tory Govt. New fossil fuels - from coal mines to oil & gas fields - must stay in the ground

Rishi Sunak is planning new anti-worker laws that would see nurses, teachers, firefighters & other key workers sacked if they strike to defend their rights.
This is a disgraceful attack on the whole working class.
It must be fought in Parliament, in workplaces & in the streets.
Alexandra Fiddes retweeted
BREAKING🚨| The government has announced anti-strike legislation.
When workers democratically vote to strike, they can be forced to work and sacked if they don’t. This is wrong, unworkable, and almost certainly illegal.
