This is a massive scandal, perhaps the biggest so far under this government. The secret, under-the-counter contracts given to really weird companies to deliver PPE and other pandemic services. It needs more exposure. Please RT and circulate. Thanks. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Got to plant trees, though! @ChrisGPackham says so 😡
Tree planting is important, but it must not destroy much rarer, valuable habitats. This wildflower-rich grassland in Cumbria has been planted without thought to the Butterfly Orchids, Betony, Scabious, Restharrow, Harebell and assoc'd biodiversity. Please RT to raise awareness!

It is completely clear from video footage that @MattHancock's adviser was not whacked by a protestor, as I was told by senior Tories, but that he inadvertently walked into a protestor's hand. I apologise for getting this wrong.
Just report the news, Laura - don't make it
Happy to apologiSe for earlier confusion about the punch that wasn’t a punch outside Leeds General - 2 sources suggested it had happened but clear from video that was wrong

Woah, hold on a second: Gove has just casually announced the U.K. will after all apply tariffs on imported food to protect British farmers. That both demolishes one of the rationales for Brexit, and raises the spectre of an issue that crippled the Tories in the 1840s & 1900s
