Campaigns to end the overuse of antibiotics in farming with @ASOAntibiotics | previously @betterNHSfood at @UKSustain | views my own

[The Humane League UK @humaneleagueuk]

New report by @ASOAntibiotics shows supermarkets are failing to comply with new laws making it *illegal* to prop up poor animal welfare with antibiotics. We need to change, for our own sakes and for the animals.

[Rob Percival @Rob_Percival_]

End the industrialised abuse of farmed animals and UK antibiotic use will be radically reduced.

[Save our Antibiotics @ASOAntibiotics]

Intensive factory farming puts animals under excessive stress, causes poor health, and leads to unacceptable farm antibiotic use. The latest @ASOAntibiotics report calls for urgent improvements to minimum UK animal husbandry standards 💊 https://t.co/8TSzq4DoTN

[Katherine Button @Kat_Button]

@madamountains can’t get through over the phone about my order and you haven’t answered my email - what’s the best way to reach you?

[FarmingUK @FarmingUK]

Researchers have called for a halt in granting any planning applications for new or expanding poultry and pig farms due to the risks they may have to human health

Former Environment Minister Zac Goldsmith: The Government should stand up to “vested interests” and avoid any further delay in banning the overuse of antibiotics on farms. https://t.co/jKMVVP5Zxb

[Rob Percival @Rob_Percival_]

"Future generations will be outraged that in our failure to stand up to vested interests and lobby groups, we robbed them of the most important medical advance our species has ever known."

Yes! Save our antibiotics! @ZacGoldsmith w/ @ASOAntibiotics https://t.co/BK8gJVnmC4

[Save our Antibiotics @ASOAntibiotics]

Very high levels of fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacter found in broilers, despite large reductions in use. Disappointing @vmdgovuk won't ban fluoroquinolone use in poultry, as US did in 2005. We know this contributes to resistance in human Campylobacter infections.

[Save our Antibiotics @ASOAntibiotics]

UK farm antibiotic sales are down by 59% since 2014 which is contributing to some falls in resistance. This is welcome progress. Much greater reductions can still be achieved. Most use is still for group treatments, rather than targeted individual treatments.

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

🚨 URGENT UPDATE: Doctors in #Gaza have issued an urgent warning that the lives of 130 premature babies are in imminent danger if fuel does not reach hospitals soon.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

It’s possible to totally condemn actions of Hamas, as I do, & still believe humanitarian emergency in Gaza is appalling. UK Govt must call on Israel to show restraint, lift blockade, allow aid to reach civilians & guarantee safe passage out for medical care #ceasefire #Palestine

[Save our Antibiotics @ASOAntibiotics]

We are pleased that the @PSC_Alliance is going to consider our report in detail. We would be very happy to engage with them and with companies to help them improve policies. It is in all our interests.

[Compassion in World Farming UK @ciwf]

Today, as members of @ASOAntibiotics, we've launched a first of its kind report, revealing that the UK’s ten leading catering companies are failing to control antibiotic use in the production of meat, dairy and eggs.

Schools and NHS caterers ‘must stop’ antibiotic overuse. New survey from @ASOAntibiotics @UKSustain https://t.co/sAEaUwTeCe

[Save our Antibiotics @ASOAntibiotics]

Caterers supplying meals to schools, universities, hospitals, and care homes have poor or non-existent controls on antibiotic use in their meat, dairy, egg and fish supply chains, new @ASOAntibiotics report finds https://t.co/x0lP38hlO6

@nationalrailenq Happy to leave a bit before

[Katherine Button @Kat_Button]

@nationalrailenq can I travel to Wokingham from Honor Oak Park, via Norwood junction and East Croydon this morning? For some reason it says fares unavailable on National rail website - does this mean the trains aren’t running? Thanks!

[Katherine Button @Kat_Button]

@nationalrailenq Whenever I need to, I expect around 9ish

[Katherine Button @Kat_Button]

@nationalrailenq Arriving by 11.45 today

[Katherine Button @Kat_Button]

@nationalrailenq Which route would you recommend to get to Wokingham from Honor Oak or Crofton Park?

[Katherine Button @Kat_Button]

@nationalrailenq It comes up on NR but says fares not available
