Filming complete #expeditionpenguin in #SouthSandwichIslands More updates soon.
I am humbled by the experts I’ve worked with. I’m in awe of the rawness of the islands, remote, vulnerable, yet tough. When you get an opportunity to do something remarkable, always say yes.

This change is long-awaited. But the badger cull will never be truly over until farmers want it over. For that, they must see bTB going down in response to other approaches. Let's take the time to gather the evidence, keep farmers on-side, and beat bTB together.

[Brian May's Save Me Trust @AnneatSaveMe]

Fantastic news . The government scrapped plans last Friday that would have allowed large numbers of badgers to be culled for at least a decade and it is set to launch a much needed fresh review of the policy. The policy is ineffective. Farmers can now turn to focused methods to remove b TB from the national herd that are both effective and focused on the clever bug and enemy “Mycobacterium bovis”.

@DeputyGrocott @MrEFinch You can do this with cream of mushroom soup too - simple and yummy

Environmental activists can no longer explain their motives to a jury. This situation is not only laughable and farcical; it is deeply sinister. This judgment and these laws MUST be overturned. https://t.co/5uuJ7UtGcI

I find it very alarming that so many agree with the protest sentance. It doesn't matter whether you agree with JSO it matters that you have the right to protest....this is a legal overreach and we should all be worried.

@amy_tisi And yet there was so much fuss about voters taking ID - and it was thoroughly checked!

🔵Reform won four seats.
🟢The Greens won four seats.

This graphic shows the four Reform seats. The four Green seats are lumped in with ‘other���.

It has begun. There will be more. Call it out when you see it.

Give the Greens the platform they have earned.

[James Murray @James_BG]

A thought this morning for the inspirational @CarolineLucas who spent over a decade working hard to establish the Greens as a viable Parliamentary Party. She now steps down by handing over to four Green MPs who not only won, but won comfortably.

Last chance to register to vote is 11:59pm (UK time) TODAY! Even if you’re not sure who to vote for right now, register. A lot can change in a couple of weeks and you might just wish you could!

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...

1) You can do it online here https://t.co/i4FhJoAXfK
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June https://t.co/9bfL3hw3CV
