An Amur tiger of the Russian Far East, caught on camera trap. Sent to me by my friend and hero, conservationist Victor Lukarevski, who continues to fight tirelessly for nature as we go about our daily lives.
Wishing you all a peaceful and restful festive season tweeps.

Tonight, I’ve come close to tears whilst apologising to patients for the standards of care we are able to provide.

In my 22 years of being an A&E Dr, I’ve never seen things so bad. It’s the same everywhere.

I just hope patients know fault lies with politicians not NHS staff.

With all the polls now showing that over 60% of voters would vote to rejoin the EU. Can any leave voters share with us - which tangible brexit benefits they'd miss if we rejoined the EU ?

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Nothing against bankers…

But they didn’t strike

Nor would we miss them if they did

And yet this Govt gifted them with a tax cut costing the treasury £7.3bn

Seems fair.

We need more of this kind of questioning. Too often ministers give their BS line to take and are allowed to move on. @BethRigby gets clarity on Hunt’s Trumpian post-truth approach. “If the OBR figures are good, they’re right. It they tell the truth about Brexit, we dismiss them!”

In a couple of days time MPs will debate an historic bill which would ban British trophy hunters from killing and bringing home sick ‘souvenirs’ of endangered animals . Please ask your MP to support the bill by visiting https://t.co/KeO3BnJ3hy

This is a hugely significant moment for the UK's visible diversity. The country has come a very long way since my father arrived in 1956. He would never have believed our city would be home to a Hindu Prime Minister and a Muslim Mayor.

Do you think Johnson statement tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? If so press LIKE. If on the other hand you think it is the deluded self-serving bullshit of a disgraced lying lawbreaker press RETWEET

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Boris Johnson is back off his holiday. A holiday he's been taking while Parliament has been sitting.

So he's been getting paid his MP's salary for representing his constituents while lounging on a beach?

And this man has the audacity to pretend he's on your side...

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

These clowns and charlatans have turned our country into a global joke.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

Good riddance Suella Braverman. Now let’s get rid of the rest of the incompetent chancers squatting in government and humiliating Britain on the world stage 👋🏿

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

That was horrific to watch. These clowns and charlatans are doing incalculable damage to this country. They have got to go.

[Chris Monkman @ArchieChris]

@ultimaterugby That was absolutely insane!!💥

[Clive Myrie @CliveMyrieBBC]

A quick thank you for all your good wishes over the last 2 weeks, you’ve all been very kind to me and the BBC teams in Ukraine. I’m now heading back to London, but will return. #UkraineRussianWar #ukraine

Tory MP Edward Leigh, who last week spoke against visa-free entry for Ukrainians, is not wearing a headset to translate Zelensky's speech.

He does not speak Ukrainian.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Thankful for US and @POTUS personal leadership in striking in the heart of Putin’s war machine and banning oil, gas and coal from US market. Encourage other countries and leaders to follow.

It's sad the UK is not a part of the EU, sad no British MEPs there today to cheer Zelensky, sad we have been so diminished by Brexit. We have left a superpower. What for?
