A German F1 driver = more eloquent, more articulate, more intelligent and more honest than any gaslighting UK government minister who has been on there for years.
I’m so chuffed to have managed to get Seb Vettel on BBC #QuestionTime & I’m so proud of the way he answered questions in his 2nd language about the politics of a country in which he doesn’t live. Here he is talking common sense about Brexit. #BBCQT

So happy. I havnt seen a Hedgehog in maybe 15 years but Ive been stashing leaves under a hedge before service charge contractors can tidy up and it's created a great little habitat full of invertebrates and molluscs. Last night we get woken up by snuffling...

Moving this lot down the bridleway and a couple had a rant saying I should have checked and warned them as they had a 'reactionary' dog(WTF even is that) that could've killed a sheep. 🤦♀️I despair.

This morning a resident lost her engagement ring as it fell into the huge container at one of our Surrey recycling centre- the team emptied the whole container & found the ring! 💍😁Well done @suez @SurreyNews

Boris Johnson’s shameless care homes defence that he “didn’t know covid could be transmitted asymptomatically” has been blown apart by this new footage Every UK news show should play this in the morning

Thread (1/15) Sometimes a moment can be pivotal in a way which is not obvious at the time. This thread explores whether the UK is at such a pivotal moment now, without most of the population realising it. And suggests what we can do about it.

It will get almost no publicity, but the government just won a vote to take control of the Electoral Commission. That’s right: Johnson will now wield ultimate power over another of the bodies designed to hold executive power in check. This is not a functioning democracy.

I’m not going anywhere. Should this place become more toxic, I pledge to strive even harder to lift up reason, science, compassion and the rule of law. The struggle against fascism, misinformation, and hate requires tough fighters. I hope you stay in the fight, right beside me.

We are so sorry, the Quantock Staghounds have just killed a young stag in front of sabs and monitors. We heard the shot and found them all standing over the body. The stag had been chased all day and could go no further. He had layed down in the gorse to hide.

"If it turned out the building you preside over... attracted more fixed penalty notices than any location or event in the history of lockdown - might that be a cause for resignation?" That was @GaryGibbonC4's question to Boris Johnson over lockdown parties at No 10.
