@RestIsPolitics@RoryStewartUK@campbellclaret It’s very concerning that he doesn’t understand what PIP is. PIP is provided to help disabled people with the additional cost of being disabled (equipment, support, adaptations). You aren’t assessed for work capability as he describes, as it isn’t an unemployment benefit.
So I've got a hot take on this...
The problem is Proctor & Gamble and Kimberley Clarke.
They are the two biggest products of "absorbent hygiene products"(nappies, pads, continence wear) in the UK, and they're an absolute bloody menace.

If we were all to send Danny Tommo an @RNLI Christmas card simply containing "LOL", it would make a lot of money for a brilliant charity and be hilarious at the same time.

Please spread the word.
This is horrific. According to the Natural History Museum’s Biodiversity Intactness Index, the UK ranks 189th out of 240 countries and territories for how intact its nature and biodiversity remain.

“…So before lighting a fire, it’s worth pausing to think. Are we prepared to accept those health costs for our children, our older relatives, and our neighbours? Every fire adds to that burden.”

This week on #bbcqt, arguably the most dangerous man in Britain that few voters have even heard of: Reform UK's anti-abortion #NatCon Head of Policy and Peter Thiel associate, James Orr, who is facilitating the transfer of control of Britain to #MAGA extremists.
FFS WAKE UP!
NHS hospital: I noticed the clock on the wall showed the wrong time.
A nurse told me they knew, but they wouldn’t report it because replacing the battery through the NHS would cost £70.
A £2 battery... £70. How? Why?
That's when I began to dig further.

Recorded my first video essay, about fascism. Not as an insult, or hyperbole. But as a clinical diagnosis from some of the world's leading historians, including the scholar who spent 60 years warning people not to use the word carelessly.

This is difficult to watch, it's embarrassing, it's enraging, it's shameful.
Emma Reynolds the Secretary of State for the Environment and David Hill the head of water at Defra appeared before MPs on Tuesday where they repeated the same old lie, that water company shareholders invest their money in the companies and we, the bill payers, pay them back over 10, 15, 20, 30 years.
Even Ofwat have owned up, that's a lie the £104 billion "private sector investment" is coming directly out of your pockets, your bank account. For God sake just tell the truth.
Barry Gardiner, you're a star. 👏👏👏
We are desperatly trying to fill a few more spaces on our Basic First Aid, Care and Rehabilitation of Hedgehogs Course in Frome BA11 1EB on Saturday 14th March, to ensure this course can go ahead.
We would love to deliver this course in memory of Graham, who very sadly passed away shortly after organising the course.
If we are unable to get a few more people booked on, we will unfortunately have to cancel the course.
If you are interested in European Hedgehog rehabilitation, please email [email protected] for more information 🦔🤎🤞
I know I keep banging on about my designs but it’s not easy being a small business at the moment.
Take a look at my wares and please retweet.

Thanks!
The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral.
I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more.
This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either.
Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.
Decent people are being terrorised by a handful of fascists. I estimate there are approx 20 in my town of 27k residents. But no-one dares take the flags down. Here's what happened to a woman who took a flag down in Crowborough.
Make them famous.
@sussex_police When will you act?
