Your occasional reminder that the 26 CofE Bishops in the House of Lords make the UK one of just two countries in the world, where unelected clerics automatically sit in the legislature. The other is Iran.

Would you swim in our waters now? 💩 After decades of neglect, our rivers, lakes and seas are on life support. So we'll be in London on Sunday 3rd Nov to March For Clean Water! 📢 Register your interest TODAY and join us to push for change!

Europeans need to be frank: The "free world" will be led by a convicted felon & demagogue who doesn’t share our values but wants to destroy them. Liberal democracy is in peril. Is Europe prepared? No. Can it be & will we see real 🇪🇺 leadership we desperately need ? Hopefully!

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

Tonight's big shift was among men. Trump won men by 10 points, up from 2 in 2020, per CNN's exit poll and Pew's 2020 data. White, Black and Hispanic men (big time) all moved toward Trump. Meanwhile, Harris won women by 10 points after Biden won women by 11, per CNN and Pew.

Coronavirus found in samples from 96% of flights If you believe it's now safe to fly without a protective mask, you might want to think again. New research shows the COVID-19 virus has been found on nearly every flight tested.

The world feels a whole lot more terrifying this morning - especially for any hope of climate action. Right now I feel sick. But I also know we have choices on how to respond - and will try even harder to light candles rather than curse the darkness 🕯️

Putin hat auch diese Wahl gewonnen.

People - including top US journalists, perhaps especially top US journalists - don’t quite get how bad it’s going to be. How beyond term one it’ll be. How bad the Musks and RFKs will be. I don’t think even I fully accept how bad it’s going to be and I have been shouting how bad

15/ 6⃣ A new Axis of Evil is forming that Trump wants America to be part of. No one can stop that now. Russia, North Korea, Hungary, China, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Turkey, Israel, Venezuela, El Salvador—it’ll be a congregation of autocracies that opposes the EU in all things.

Well, if you needed yet another reason for the UK to join the EU - here it is.

The UK is about to lose the ability to process Euros and EU companies through its banks because it has left the single market. This makes up 60% of UK bank transactions, it will destroy the 'UK's world beating banking system,' and cost about £250bn a year to the UK economy.

A transatlantic “web of dark money” ties UK think tank donors to Donald Trump & US Republicans Those think tanks who deny climate change, supported Truss etc Trump Campaigns Received $45m from Tufton Street Donors @BylineTimes

Incredibly, this is the people of Valencia - walking to the most affected areas to help - see just how long the queue is... It's not possible to get there by car - so they're on foot. Tirelessly helping the people affected.

Here's a thought, if you can't afford to send your children to Private School. Don't. Like 94% of people.

This law is one of those things that sounds so mad feminists are accused of making it up because they're bigots. And then it turns out not to have been made up and "well, only bigots object, so it must be fine"

Why aren’t we doing this in @NHSEngland ? @wesstreeting This is following the current @WHO recommendations. It’s surely not better to have hospitals overloaded with cases resulting in an endless cycle of chronic health issues.

Hands up if you didn't know that our train services still rely on fax machines? Yes, really! Was a revelation to me - and not a pleasant one. Exhibit N in the "Britain is a fundamentally unserious country" museum.

@1goodtern Nearly a THIRD of people suffering from Long Covid reported that their chronic symptoms started *since* March 2023. Long Covid is NOT just a hangover from the past…
