They had 20 years to put their house in order. These people are not children, they're adults and need to take responsibility for their animals, not blame 80% of the pop for calling out criminality

Dogs also chase farm animals if not on a lead in the countryside Nigel. And so very rarely will catch a wild animal. It takes a pack of 30 trained dogs to do that and a crew of redcoats on horseback steering them. There's no comparison here. @Nigel_Farage

The real disgrace in UK's welfare bill is that so much of it is spent on people in work. We are subsidising jobs that do not pay enough to live on. If we genuinely made sure work paid a decent living, then we would not have such a high bill.

🚨BREAKING: New data shows that even our most protected river sites are unsafe for swimming - another sign that regulators are FAILING to hold polluters to account. Enough is ENOUGH. The upcoming Water Bill must make polluters pay. Public health, the environment, and our economy

Ever wondered where your tax money actually goes? 💷 @BBCNews broke it down by imagining we each handed the Government £100. Here’s how that £100 was spent in 2023–24: £22 → NHS £6 → Defence £10 → Education £10 → Debt interest £11.40 → State pensions £4.15 → Working-age

Rest in peace you legend.

I am the Environment Agency, "cease-and-desist" I tell you, "cease-and-desist" or I will make you sit on the naughty step, for at least 10 minutes.....

It’s International Men’s Day, and we want to talk about one of the biggest issues that men face today and what can be done to tackle it. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50, and men account for three-quarters of all deaths by suicide. 🧵 1/5

This is why we need regulators like the EA to regulate not ‘enable growth’ This is what deregulation looks like. This is what happens when you remove environmental protections and defund enforcement.

💬“This could be a death sentence for the River Cherwell [...] the Environment Agency has known about this since the 10th of September, and nothing has been done.” Great work, Laura @friends_thames! 👏👇 #WasteMountain #RescueBritainsRivers

The continuing efforts of local river guardians to investigate the Cherwell waste dump are really highlighting the utter incompetence of @EnvAgency & their failure to uphold the law. It now appears that complaints about the rubbish were made by local people as far back as May &

I find it beautifully British that we already have a sketch for this exact scenario.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Last night, Peers voted against Swift bricks: rejecting a simple, proven way to help one of our fastest declining birds recover. ❌ We share @WriterHannahBT's disappointment & frustration. The vote came late, but with government refusing to back it, its fate was already sealed.

It boggles my mind that some people object to their taxes being used to help feed hungry children, but they are absolutely fine with paying more tax because billionaires don't want to pay their share.

If you feel like you're bad at your job and it's making you depressed, just consider that, as the investigation of the recent heist revealed, the password to access the Louvre's videosurveillance system was "Louvre".

BAD NEWS💔if the vote had taken place earlier we would have won-Tories (majority) whipped YES but by the time of the vote, support had gone home just like 2 years ago. It is an AGONISING reality. Tell steve.reed.mp@parliament.uk what you think. GUTTED. Labour: what a betrayal 😡

British icon, hilarious comic & bird-kind ⁦@BillBailey⁩ thinks securing homes for birds reliant on cavity nesting habitat is an ace idea. The swift brick debate is tomorrow. Help the birds. Email SWIFT BRICKS to steve.reed.mp@parliament.uk & james.cleverly.mp@parliament.uk

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be
