The timing of the election might cause problems for some, esp students coming to the end of term or those who have holidays booked (whoever they intend to vote for). The solution is to apply for a postal vote. Here’s the link to do so. Please share. https://t.co/he4VaTk6Hz

Use this service to apply to vote by post so you can take part in elections in the UK. You must be registered to vote in the UK before you can apply.

It’s that time of year again … it will be the 40th anniversary next year!
#OTD London, 1984. Everyone in this photo gathered together to record the Band Aid single 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'. Four days later it was released in the UK and is played all over the world at this time of year every year! We'll always remember it. https://t.co/4QUzh8ehzP

Last year saw a 'catastrophic breeding failure' of some emperor penguin colonies due to record low Antarctic sea ice, on which they rely to rear their chicks. Emperor penguins may be heading towards extinction unless we act now – their fate rests in our hands.

Giving public sector workers a pay rise but not providing any more funding is like giving someone a present paid for by selling some of their stuff.

Our friends rescued some ex battery chickens and if it doesn't persuade everyone to never eat battery eggs again I don't know what will. Thankfully their little naked bottoms are now living their best lives and they have tiny jumpers. But we are terrible to animals. 🙁

The decision to pull Clive Myrie from News At Ten because he'd been hilarious on Have I Got News For You? earlier the same evening is important. It shows how successfully vicious right-wing papers have cowed BBC executives in to making decisions based on fear of being attacked.

Be patient with yourself if you're having a difficult day. We all have them from time to time - and that's okay. It's impossible to always be at 100%.

In case you didn’t know already, @BBCFarmingToday routinely delivers some of the finest journalism available anywhere in the U.K.
The peerless @BBCFarmingToday reported on social care workers (current vacancies in the sector: 105,000) quitting in rural areas because fuel costs have pushed them well below the minimum wage. Think of them every time a Tory tells you our system has been too ‘redistributive’.
