It's true that reporting your cat missing to @PetsatHome, then them sending you some cat food is 'as good as it looks'

@allthatchas @animalresearch Thank you for sharing the foundational myths behind your pharisaic opinions.

@HelenMagi @JohnRentoul All I hear from thqt neck of the woods is parents complaining thqt the Lib Dems turn up on their doorstep like Mormons when people are trying to put their kids to bed

@Bootsy_Collins I can't be the only person to appreciate both Al's towering talent but also Bootsy's practical travel Stetson

@leafcine https://t.co/BJtsYcgaIU You don't answer your own question.

@CharChirico @tomorrowsmps They've been found - it's Ellie Stringer

@billmaher You asked where the malaria vaccine from animal tests was? Well, this one was approved a few years ago https://t.co/f2ZPkmcmb2 and it's cut deaths among kids in Africa by 13% https://t.co/K9xgsVcqAW I mention it because there's now a second one https://t.co/ysqg0H9uft

@willyoung @SkyNews @KayBurley While no one's madly keen on using dogs and new tech is cool, most of what @willyoung says in that interview is the exact opposite of the real situation. Dogs predict first-in-human safety up to 96%. Factually robust sources for the honestly curious here: https://t.co/3rCpWkHpgI

[Chris Magee @_Chris_Magee_]

@AnimalRising The evidence actually says dogs predict p1 human safety with more than 90% accuracy on average https://t.co/ljk9BPlnHY, thus saving tens of thousands of lives globally. You can be against this, but should be honest about the suffering you'd cause. It's nothing like farming.

@ChimieMal @TweetsMetis @POTUS @WhiteHouse "Scientists at the Helmholts Munich research centre have achieved a groundbreaking discovery by using a transparent mouse to detect minuscule cancerous tumours". The story is they detected tumours that they wouldn't be able to using any other method.

[Chris Magee @_Chris_Magee_]

@ChimieMal @TweetsMetis @POTUS @WhiteHouse I would assume you knew, given that you're against this cancer research.

[Chris Magee @_Chris_Magee_]

@ChimieMal @TweetsMetis @POTUS @WhiteHouse This is just from this week https://t.co/wIHE555x7k

@AgendaForReform @snb19692 @LibDems The LDs benefitted from an anti-Corbyn vote last time in Wimbledon. Polling report reckons it will return to Labour at the next election and I concur https://t.co/UrzcrekMnd. Maybe I'll be surprised but either Way Hammond will lose.

[Chris Magee @_Chris_Magee_]

@allthatchas @animalresearch I'm sorry Chas, I'll try to keep scientific evidence and verifiable fact out of the discussion if they offend your faith.

[Chris Magee @_Chris_Magee_]

@allthatchas @animalresearch Where's the spin in explaining that dogs will be imported if there's not enough domestic supply? Where's the spin in directing the public to the science on this issue, and dogs' ability to predict human safety 91% of the time? https://t.co/ljk9BPlnHY

[Chris Magee @_Chris_Magee_]

Feeling blessed to have witnessed the worst business decision of 2023 in @Morrisons Wimbledon! They've locked up the booze and, if you're a shopper, you have to get an adult to help add it to your basket before queueing. Pioneering the world's first inconvenience store.

[Chris Magee @_Chris_Magee_]

@ChrisGPackham @GOVUK @10DowningStreet They can't ban the tests yet without killing about 1,000 Brits a year. Despite what you've been told, dogs predict human safety in P1 trials an average of 91%, rising to 96% https://t.co/ljk9BPlnHY. Activists want a 'hearing' because the data doesn't support their claims.

[Chris Magee @_Chris_Magee_]

@JoFoulkes @clickclick23 @ChrisGPackham @GOVUK @10DowningStreet They're not right here though. Dogs predict the safety of drugs with up to 96% accuracy https://t.co/ljk9BPlnHY, which saves about 900 Britons a year from death or serious injury. Gbeebies only asked animal rights activists what they thought.

@efergy Your E-Max product stopped working after about 2 months so I contacted your customer support three times and have been consistently ignored, except to get an email saying you aim to answer all queries within 24 hours. Are you still in business? If so, what gives?

[Chris Magee @_Chris_Magee_]

@74Tonystac I love that you've had to crop the toys out of this. And the air con, food and water. And expect the outside areas to be shown inside. It's a bigot's playbook.

[Chris Magee @_Chris_Magee_]

It takes far more moral courage to stand up for the inconvenient truth than join an ignorant mob. I've stood up to climate change denialists, MAGA republicans, fox hunters and Russian Brexit bots & you don't seem so different. Conspiracy theories, vitriol, confidently incorrect.
