Can’t believe my sofa has been delayed for the THIRD time this year after ordering 01/11/2024. The lack of communication and misleading information is atrocious. @OFLoakfurniture looking for some support. These Camping chairs aren’t doing our backs any favours
Thank you to @studyucem for raising £244.20 at their clothes refresh event yesterday, directly funding the delivery of 5 counselling sessions💜
This pop-up clothes shop was a great way to support young people's mental health, as well as the environment ♻️
Please watch this stark video explaining why sentencing for murders which take place in the home must also have a 25 year starting point just like a murder in the street .

Paula Vennells, CEO of Post Office, given CBE 2019 "for services to the Post Office and to charity"
Alan Bates has refused an OBE while she retained hers. #MrBatesvsPostOffice
For years Labour @KevanJonesMP has been officially asking for her CBE to be withdrawn.
Here is his SECOND letter to the Honours Forfeiture Committee 👏🏼👏🏼
The award of a CBE to Paula Vennells, "a person who resided over the widest miscarriage of justice in English legal history, is utterly wrong and deeply insulting to those who suffered prosecutions during her tenure."
We await the reply from a Committee which needs to pull its finger out.
#MrBatesvsPostOffice #Horizon

Lucy Powell - "It's ironic that we're discussing transparency... as it emerged the govt published 160 transparency documents on by-election day... meaning it couldn't be reported due to the by-elections... & this included details of the PM's spending on flights."
Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.
The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no.
Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.
You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.
Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others.
Be civilized.

On #NationalBadgerDay we're celebrating these iconic black-and-white-striped mammals! 🦡
Badgers typically live in woodland and the open countryside, but they can be found in urban areas too. 🌳🌆
Let us know if you've ever spotted one!

We are shocked and desperately saddened to learn that the famous Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall has been felled overnight, in what appears to be an act of vandalism.
We know just how much this iconic tree is loved locally, nationally and by everyone who has visited.
We are working with our partners to understand what has happened and what can be done.
The incident has also been reported to the police.
Sunak says Govt is "world-leading" on net zero - when England installed just 2 onshore wind turbines in 2022, failed to secure a single bid at offshore wind auction & approved first new coal mine in 30 years to international outcry. What planet is he on?

Rishi Sunak took 23 private flights in 187 days. He flew London to Blackpool in a 14-seat RAF jet, it’s 3 hrs by train. The same to Leeds, it’s 2.5 hrs by train
Private flights are 14 times more polluting than commercial flights & 50 times more than trains
He just doesn’t care.
Rishi Sunak's statement on #netzero feels like a punch in the stomach. He's lied to the public. He's dodging scrutiny. He's trashing our children's futures. Enough is enough. He's not fit to govern. He simply has to go.
You know when you think - it’s bad , it’s actually as bad as it could be , nothing could make things any worse . . . then . . . https://t.co/7hWcyxnt0R
