Just want to say #BansheesOfInisherin great film but a #donkey would NEVER eat a finger from the ground. They are strictly vegetarian. Lovely animals, I kept them for years. #martinmcdonagh #keepitreal

A vigil for Owen Dunn and rightly so, but these balloons being released into the atmosphere will pollute the planet and may well kill animals and birds. Somehow this doesn’t seem an appropriate tribute.

Rishi Sunak has made an appalling error of judgement in appointing and then propping up Gavin Wiliamson, despite being warned about his behaviour.

Even now the PM says he has “full confidence” in his disgraced Minister. The buck stops with him.

Despicable and disgraceful.

My mental health has not been great which is why no sketches last two days. But feeling stronger today to endure PMQs

Excited to have discovered rogue copy of #Vertigo by @JohnJCrace on my bookshelf I was beginning to think being a writer and being a #Spurs supporter might be mutually exclusive. Look out for #RedBalloon @Julie_Fergusson

I'm not a member of any party, and I have no political loyalties, but I've tried, as well as I can, to assess our choices between the major (English) parties. I've published my conclusions in this week's column. https://t.co/W9kANqPMAp

Once again, no grants for natural regeneration. Landowners will be paid for planting trees, which tends to mean plastic, herbicides and a risk of imported disease, but not for allowing them to spread naturally - often quicker and better for wildlife. https://t.co/pwexMRK2AQ

Because there's a linear relationship between the amount of money you have and the environmental damage you inflict, in this week's column I propose something that might horrify you. Setting a limit on wealth. https://t.co/flpNNLG3ok

First book for a very long time that I have wanted to read and keep reading from the moment I opened it. Brilliant characters, wonderful writing and totally relevant. Thank you ⁦@kamilashamsie⁩

Some people claim that the Climate Change Committee's target of zero-carbon by 2050 is too steep. Unfortunately, it's not steep enough to create a high chance of preventing 1.5C or even 2C of global heating. @theCCCuk

@Mslexia Thanks for the info I must have missed that tweet. I would have paid more but I see your point. What a shame. It was great. I will miss it.

[Alison Boulton @LaAlisonB]

@Mslexia Hello, is your diary available yet. I couldn't find it on the website. It's an essential addition to my desk and I need the 2019 edition please. :)

While allowing junk food manufacturers to use highly sophisticated techniques to overcome our impulse controls, the government berates people for becoming obese. “They who have put out the people's eyes reproach them of their blindness.” https://t.co/0dNaz0Z1h4

Here are my suggestions on how to talk about the living world with words that engage people, reveal rather than disguise realities, and honour what we seek to protect.
