#Climate breakdown already having a massive impact on crop yields By 2050, the world is projected to need 50% more food, at a time yields of key crops could be down 30% More than a halving of calories per head Just think about that for a moment https://t.co/Q4KBto5aab

I always said Brexit would kill the Tory Party. Because of it they kicked out anyone with brains and principles and replaced them with people who’s only qualification was a willingness to lie to camera. This is the inevitable consequence.

They want to ditch the #ECHR to "assist with forced removals and #Immigration." Do you how many UK forced removals the #ECHR have stopped? 4. In 4 years. It's not about #Immigration. It's about ALL THE OTHER RIGHTS they want to strip you of.

‘Please don’t tell anyone that I decided one of the rarest species in the UK wasn’t worth protecting because I have a good relationship with this developer’ says @RachelReevesMP who is ecologically illiterate. Spread this far and wide. She deserves to be shamed out of a job.
Why is @RachelReevesMP so offhand over "one of the rarest creatures in Britain (that) is an indicator of clean rivers and ponds"? Does she not care about the ALREADY disastrous state of our waterways? Too cosily in bed with developers and their profits? https://t.co/PdIKZW4pEy

Andy Street is spot on. Birmingham is a brilliant city. Vibrant, diverse, wonderful.
“I’ll put it bluntly, Robert is wrong… it’s actually a very integrated place... Not the definition of a slum.” Andy Street, mayor of the West Midlands 2017-24 responds to Robert Jenrick's comments on Handsworth. #Newsnight

"You go to some places like Handsworth.. parts of Dewsbury, Bradford, Leicester, where you see.. a single ethnicity.. we don't think that's healthy thing" Kevin Hollinrake is MP for Thirsk and Malton, which according to the 2021 census is 98% white.

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers. Share this and speak up for your freedoms.

This is so wrong. Ministers should protect the public interest, not a handful of creditors clinging on to their bad investments @Ofwat and the government must prioritise households and the environment, cut Thames Water's debt in half right now with Special Administration

Now do Blackpool, Doncaster, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Newport and South Ayrshire. The issue is class not race.

Why are the right wing press hushing up a matter of treachery ? I thought they were supposed to be the patriotic ones
A house in Clacton bought with unknown finances, a Russian funded Welsh leader and now an investigation into the finances and tax affairs of one of Farage’s key henchmen. Reform is riddled with wrong’uns. https://t.co/28j61EUUpg

This is Reverend David Black, minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Chicago. He was shot seven times in the head with chemical pellets by ICE agents as he was kneeling to pray at a protest. RETWEET if you stand with Reverend Black against the Trump Administration!

Speaking of pedophiles. Isn’t it incredible how the entire media is ignoring the just 6-month jail sentence Trump’s evangelical advisor just got after admitting he raped a 12-year-old girl?

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
The Sentencing Council tried to give ethnic minority criminals more lenient sentences, than their white counterparts. Identity politics will destroy our country. @Conservatives will abolish the Council as part of our plans for Stronger Borders, and tackling two tier justice.

Don’t talk to me about Nathan Gill & the failure of the British press to cover it. Or the UK state to investigate it. Read this thread. I remember my state of mind when I wrote it to a brick wall of total fucking silence.
One month before Russia invaded Ukraine, I stood trial at the High Court. And now I wait, in purgatory, to be judged. But I believe this trial and the silence around it - & all the Kremlin's men - has revealed something profoundly rotten at the heart of the British state. 1/
