Not one Reform MP bothered to turn up in the House of Commons last week for the debate on tackling violence against women and girls. I wonder what was more important?

Bees are one the best pollinators on earth. Without them, our crops and fruit won’t get pollinated and our food supply will dwindle. Please sign the petition to ban pesticides at 🆘 change.org/SaveTheBee 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🌍❤️

How to? How to do when you see such a document, 113 years old, and we aren't still doing enough to act on climate change!

ooh my goodness watch at my tiny house & my tiny garden (200m2, 4.000 plants), every month. 👼🏻 ⚠️ 84% of wild 🌱 depend on the pollinators ↔️ without top interactions beetween our blue & green lungs, it's extinct. 👉 They maintain 80% of ecosystems, vector of life. ‼ Support👉 change.org/SaveTheBee 🆘🐝

It was late by the time I got to the Ring-necked Duck on Fonthill Lake, Tisbury, yesterday… A lovely adult drake at an amazing location - worth the diversion! #RareBirdsUK

It is absolutely disgusting that it's necessary to protect such decent people in this way! The US is turning into Gilead because of institutionalized sexism caused by organized religion; US citizens chose #orangedecibyte #DementiaDon because he's a man! #DontObeyInAdvance, #safedemocracy, #resist!

Left: Laura Kuenssberg suggests that Dominic Raab left parliament of his own volition Right: Dominic Raab was forced to resign after being found guilty of bullying Why is an MP who resigned because he was found guilty of bullying, on a flagship Sunday morning news chat show?

Please stop telling me to be more patient with Keir Starmer and the NHS. Look at the stats. Every single day they fail to take action, more patients needlessly die. Why are you OK with that?

This article is 109 years old. And we still aren't doing enough to act on climate change.

We never learned from history

'Alt Reich' by @NafeezAhmed is available for preorder now. Having read the proofs, I can tell you this explains so much about the turbulence we are seeing now on both sidew of the Atlantic mailchi.mp/bylinetimes....

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

England’s National Parks were born 75 years ago today And today the government has acknowledged that they are failing nature, with wildlife in many in ‘steep decline’ and waterways polluted 1/4 www.gov.uk/government/n...

We stand with many others urging the Home Office to keep processing asylum claims by people from Syria. Through our services, we're hearing first-hand how fearful the community is that they may be asked to leave. Many have already waited over six months, unable to work or rebuild their lives.

“But UK rules mean products cannot be tested abroad; they have to be tested in the country in a certified lab of which there are now none.” I mean… ffs… Brexit never gets any less idiotic or ruinous, does it? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

No plan for more tax rises, says UK PM Starmer. Wrong pledge. Taxes need to rise on the rich, cut for the poor to reduce inequality. Top 10% have 57% of the wealth, bottom 50% own less than 5%, poorest 10% have 0.02%. Can't build good society on injustice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So Robert Jenrick will be getting a regular GBNews show. Of course he will. The anti-migrant hate slot was after all glaringly empty on that channel...🤔 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppr-...

Labour are encouraging society to see disabled people as worthless. They’re implying that unless sick & disabled people are working, they’re “written off”. By not mentioning long Covid in their ‘Get Britain Working’ White Paper they’re saying it’s ok not to take it seriously.

Yesterday Tory MPs were given a vote on #AssistedDying Same MPs that voted through cuts which caused 330k austerity deaths/thousands of disabled died. Multiple UN reports on discrimination, poverty and deaths. Labour are set to continue. Now think about why disabled are fearful.

Thousands of unpaid carers forced to repay huge sums to govt, threatened with criminal prosecution after unwittingly breaching earnings rules. The Criminal Finance Act 2017: No corporation prosecuted for tax abuse. This is the UK's version of the 'rule of law' leftfootforward.org/2024/11/what...

There is a reason neither the US or Israel are signatories to the Rome Statute and that reason is both countries have always fully intended to commit war crimes

I've seen a couple of recent rehashes of the take saying that people who consider covid to still be a problem are essentially antivax, because they don't trust the vaccine to deal with the problem. That's obviously nuts, but let me just break it down into words one syllable for the thick people:

Keir Starmer's Government has now stated that it believes Israel is “not committed” to following international human rights law, but will continue to supply weapons to them anyway The admission came during a legal challenge against the UK's continued supply of arms to Netanyahu's Government
