One teaspoon of the neonicotinoids pesticide could kill 1.25 billion bees. And yet the Government could be about to let it back on English fields. Sign the petition: tell Ministers to keep this ban on bee-killing pesticides in place. https://t.co/nNhzhpHK9c

@Bill_Esterson Down 0.85% today so far. Let’s look at this next year and not make silly early judgments.

If this works out, and I hope it does, I will take my hat off to her brass courage, but one swallow does not a summer make.

@HughEdw31897368 Whatever the rights and wrongs, I just hope it all works. If not, the alternative is too scary to contemplate.

Black women are 4 times more likely to die from childbirth than white women. The Govt’s inaction on maternal health is shameful. Everyone should be able to give birth without fear for their life. https://t.co/6dPNDAVz9U

Just heard the full 12 min call where Conservative Councillor Brett Rosehill dials into James O'Brien's show to contribute to the discussion on Lee Anderson's Islamophobia.

Yet somehow he ends up accusing Labour MP Dawn Butler of antisemitism and James O'Brien of having contempt for Jewish people.

Weirdly, HertsLive report that Brett Rosehill is one of five Conservative councillors who were targeting a Jewish Labour councillor Dr Dan Ozarow.

"Dr Ozarow, 42, who is Jewish, says he felt “terrorised” by a stream of antisemitic abuse and death threats against him and his family. He went on to say he now feels relieved that the Conservative Party Central Office has found five of its councillors guilty of negative campaigning, inciting antisemitism and multiple breaches of the party code of conduct and Nolan principals of standards in public life."

So not only does the Conservative party have an Islamophobia problem with some MPs, they also appear to have an antisemitism problem with some Councillors; a Jewish Conservative Councillor targeting a Jewish Labour Councillor - how are the people of Borehamwood ok with this?

And is it too much to ask for basic standards of comprehension and decency as a prerequisite for anyone becoming a councillor or an MP?
