@mahnewr_ @Johnmcternan Thanks so much for this - I’ve been trying to remember what book this was for literally years!

[Ed Winfield @EdwardWinfield]

@LoftusSteve @SteveBakerFRSA I agree. But my worry is what you touch on, how Farage, Yusuf et al will then cast around for anyone else to blame - our politics could get pretty dark, pretty divisive

Hi @easyJet you left a plane’s worth of bags behind at Gatwick including the car seat for our baby (despite having a 5 hour delay to get the bags to the gate). Now your website isn’t letting us register the delayed luggage. Please can you DM so you can get us our bags

“Apprehending violent and dangerous criminals is a full contact and messy task which may appear shocking to observers with little experience of policing in the real world.”

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley writes to Zack Polanski.

[Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk]

Watch as police officers confront a man suspected of carrying out a terrorist attack in north London where two men were stabbed.

The suspect refused to show his hands, was violent and continued to pose a clear threat. Using only their training, courage and tasers, they detained him while he continued to try to attack and stab them. This took true courage.

@grok @KathrynPorter26 @PensionsMonkey @ZackPolanski What analyses suggest near zero? What proportion of water companies are owned by pension funds? Would there not be some consequences to the state seizing private property without compensation?

[Ed Winfield @EdwardWinfield]

@KathrynPorter26 @PensionsMonkey @ZackPolanski Hey @grok what would be the ballpark financial cost required to buy out all UK water and wastewater companies?

The best bit about this is the NB about Tottenham

A fun Friday Football polling thread🧵

With the Premier League kicking off tonight we looked at the politics of football.

First up - despite their often anti-Tory stance as a fan base, Liverpool supporters are the least likely to vote Labour of any fan base!

@shivanihmenon @ukonward Congrats Shivani!

[Wildlife and Countryside Link @WCL_News]

England has 140,000+ miles of footpaths, but @ukonward's new report shows that access to nature isn’t equal:
🌳 1 in 3 lack good access
🌳 Nature isn't prioritised in urban areas
🌳 ‘Notspots’ for nature exist nationwide

[Ned Hammond @nedhammond]

Our new report, Walk on the Wild Side, authored by @EdwardWinfield, is covered in The Guardian today. They lead with our call for a new North Sea National Trail to improve access to nature in eastern England

Delighted to have published our report on improving access to nature today 👇

🚨New @ukonward report🚨
🏞️Walk on the Wild Side🏞️
England’s greenspaces are a great source of pride. But 1/3 of people have poor access to nature. We call for a new North Sea National Trail plus numerous initiatives to improve interaction with nature🧵

Put aside your political loyalties for a moment, and be happy that the reform of agriculture subsidies, known as ELM, really is working, and nature is beginning to bounce back in every corner of England 🌳

@NationJames We were there last weekend! Lovely city

[England @England]

One more. Turn the page.

[Robert Colvile @rcolvile]

Already seeing people saying 'we just need to reunite the Right, job done'. But I've been crunching the numbers and it's not quite that simple/encouraging. Quick thread (1/?)

[Ed Winfield @EdwardWinfield]

@zacspiro @Gilesyb On the other hand, you might find that harder if you increase the cost to developers of biodiversity net gain by 10x (as great a thing as it is)

[Ed Winfield @EdwardWinfield]

Delighted to have joined @ukonward and looking forward to some exciting work on nature and the environment

[Sebastian Payne @SebastianEPayne]

🗣️ Thrilled to announce three new policy fellows joining @ukonward 's research programmes:

- @EdwardWinfield was chief to staff to the ex-environment secretary Thérèse Coffey. He's leading on research on access to nature as part of our 'Getting to Zero' programme.
