I support @ClientEarth as they tell the UK government that new fossil fuel projects are incompatible with net zero emissions by 2050. Together, we must demand better from our government. Will you join me? act.clientearth.org/page/132…

Raw sewage is being dumped in English waterways the equivalent of 800 times a day. Meanwhile government & regulators continue to turn a blind eye. Agree that PM Rishi Sunak should take action to stop sewage pollution in UK rivers & beaches, please sign? act.gp/3qvYADp

It shouldn't seem like such a shock to the system to see someone with millions of followers talking in the calm, empathetic, confident manner of a true leader: but, it is. We don't even realise how feral public debate has become.

A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. 3/4

Liz Truss elected to lead the country by 81,326 votes. Postal workers voting for strike action 85,100. Remember that when they come at unions about democracy in the coming days.

BREAKING: The Tories are set to announce a "bonfire of EU laws" to boost the economy. It looks like chickens washed in chlorine and fish glowing from radiation are going to become a reality, after all! Who else is excited? x

I defy anyone to look at @marcdavenant's extraordinary photo of Richard Ratcliffe outside the Foreign Office today - day 18 of his hunger strike - and not be filled with rage & sadness. Where are you, @borisjohnson? How dare you fail to stop this? @FreeNazanin #FreeNazanin

THREAD: How did we end up here? With the UK’s plans to lift lockdown threatened by a new variant. Just as we taste freedom, it might be stolen from us! Well. It’s a slightly long and circuitous story and, believe it or not, the best place to start is with Brexit…
