@pritipatel This is the most abhorrent, disgusting and un-British policy that had come out of a Home Sectetary's mouth in decades. #NotInmyName

We're in a climate and ecological emergency - and the CEE Bill is our way out of it. Over 100MPs support the Bill, but we need more. Ask your MP to back the #CEEbill today. @CEEbill_NOW

@SelaineSaxby Please support the #ceebill because the need to avoid flooding in North Devon caused by climate change is much much more urgent than the government's 2050 plans. Thanks.

@Geoffrey_Cox Check your inbox - I want you to make the #EnvironmentBill stronger so it brings nature back for good.

@RichardDawkins @mattwridley @lingwalingwa This might be of interest!

6pm news. Worst ever fires in Australia. Unprecedented floods in Jakarta. Extreme drought in Zambia. #climatebreakdown is destroying lives, communities & ecosystems. 2020 *has* to be the year we stop 'waking up' to the climate emergency & start doing everything we can to stop it

[David Venner @davidvenner4]

@RosieVenner That's lovely Rosie!

[Dr Stuart Capstick @StuartBCapstick]

Wow - this is v encouraging. Not due just to @ExtinctionR - also no doubt @Strike4Youth and other factors, but an eye-opening shift in public opinion nonetheless.

[David Venner @davidvenner4]

Aw thanks @RosieVenner - you're doing an even better job with your children - sorry this is not in Haiku form!

[Rosie Venner @RosieVenner]

Haiku for Lent, for my Dad @davidvenner4 on his birthday.

You nurtured in us
Passion for nature and words
Sense of rootedness

This isn't some jovial Guinness World Record.

This is a climate emergency.

Ministers must get off their sun loungers and introduce a #GreenNewDeal.

Taken 101 years ago today, this photo is one of the most iconic images from the Third Battle of Ypres. It gives us a glimpse into what poet Siegfried Sassoon called the 'hell' of #Passchendaele. Are there any images of the #GreatWar that are most memorable to you?

[Flanders Fields @FlandersWW1]

The #GreatWar caused upheaval on a global scale on both the Home Front and on the Western Front. Here are several ways it changed the lives and roles of women in Britain. Do you have stories of women in your families who were affected by the war?
