Health Secretary Matt Hancock failed to declare a 15% share in his sister's company.

A company that recently won two six-figure contracts to provide services to the NHS.

300,000 people signed a petition urging the government to enforce a total ban on bee-killing pesticides.
⁠
We travelled to @DefraGovUK's HQ, to hand in the petition. Now it's time for them to act.

You can still join the movement to save bees here: https://t.co/eS9050ke2l

Over 240,000 people across the country want #destructivefishing banned from UK Marine Protected Areas. #GeorgeEustice and @DefraGovUK can you act like the ocean protectors you claim to be and ban destructive fishing?

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

Yesterday, we started the creation of a 47 mile protected area in the Dogger Bank, in the North Sea. We’re creating this protected area because the government is failing to protect our vulnerable marine ecosystems from #destructivefishing.

I just signed a petition asking @MattHancock not to cancel student nurses' contracts. Will you add your name here? https://t.co/eToEHC7TtA

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Thousands of student nurses were asked to join the NHS early to help the fight against Covid-19

Now they’ve been told that the agreement will no longer be honoured, and many will be pulled out of paid work early

I heard you pour billions of pounds into the fossil fuel industry every year @Barclays. How can you justify that when we are in the midst of a #ClimateEmergency? It’s time to put the planet above profit. #BarclaysShutdown
