Yesterday was #NationalMeadowsDay - and we're losing the ones we have left, including @BrisMeadows planned for housing:

[Brislington Meadows @BrisMeadows]

Hey @michaelgove have you decided if you’re going to save Brislington Meadows yet? It will ruin @HomesEngland reputation to destroy a nature site like this when there are so many brownfield sites surrounding it. Please watch our video 🙏🔽

"The only demonstrations that really work are disruptive ones."

@GaryLineker believes disruptive climate protesters could be considered "heroes" if the world takes action against the climate crisis, and says "it's very worrying" people are being arrested for protesting.

Stella Creasy, "In Adam Holloway's absence (he left after his pro Brexit rant).. He said insurance is a benefit of Brexit.. Truth is, while it may benefit shareholders of insurance companies, it will lead to higher fees for policy holders and pensioners." #BrexitInquiry

Today’s charity shop find. A North Korean phrase book from 1989. Particularly enjoyed the ‘expressing one’s feelings’ page. These are the only feelings permitted in North Korea AND the only acceptable responses to seeing a friend’s stand-up show

Public higher educacioun ys a common goode and sholde be free to all. Everyone sholde be able to pursue their intellectual vocations and career dreames, to fynde the educacioun thei seek wythout the burden of debt. Educacioun ys a foundation for freedom. Fund higher ed again.

[CyclingMikey the Unspeakable @MikeyCycling]

@BrummieNoire @marksimsy No, cyclists are not just as bad. Cyclists are not the ones killing 1,800 people a year and seriously injuring and maiming a further 27,000. And in car/bicycle collisions, the driver is at sole fault 95% of the time. Cyclists present very little risk to you, unlike drivers.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Yes Wes! Fucking SAY IT.

Shadow Health Sec, Wes Streeting, telling the truth about where our money has gone - to Tory donors and friends. They can pay themselves but not our nurses.

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.

I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

My brilliant cousin @GalensGhost had a letter printed in The Times today. She did not pull any punches. 👏👏👏💪

[Medlife Crisis (DEFUNCT) @MedCrisis]

Excellent letter

This is what you get when you ask the sports guy to come in to cover a blizzard in the morning show.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

"Everyone on the ward, they're just brilliant... considering the lack of resources."

A mother of a three-year-old with a "life-shortening condition" tells Health Secretary Steve Barclay the government's handling of the NHS is causing "agony" to families like hers.

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

On my way home after a very busy shift in A&E.

We’ve never had it so bad.

To clarify once again: Restore Trust is NOT part of the National Trust. Restore Trust is the trading name for RT2021Ltd, a private company. This is really important. Please challenge this claim when you see it in their corporate communications. Please RT.
