@PippaCrerar I am against a ban on protest but, if @ShabanaMahmood and @UKLabour MPs vote this through, might it also be applied to prevent the cumulative harm caused by protests outside asylum centres?
@owenjonesjourno@JeffNippard A gradual phasedown @owenjonesjourno and long overdue. The largest scale cruelty on the planet: 62% of all mammals by weight are farmed animals and the majority are factory farmed. Would be transformative - consider the food/land/water/carbon it takes to feed them all...
That this needs to be a petition is an outrage. Try saving lives instead of worrying about who said what at Glastonbury, @lisanandy and @Keir_Starmer:
Babies in Gaza are starving to death. Hospitals have no formula left. Demand 'leaders' do more: https://t.co/0ehdcMjZAe
Gavin Collins was an off-duty police officer enjoying a night out in central London when he was attacked by a pair of thugs. They repeatedly punched and kicked him, even after he’d been floored. Gavin needed titanium plates in his cheek and one eye socket following the unprovoked attack.
One of the attackers had three previous convictions for similar offences of common assault in the previous three years. As it happened the thugs were brothers, and the sons of one of Britain’s richest property tycoons.
But they were in luck. When they eventually appeared before Recorder Christopher Hehir in Southwark Crown Court, the judge was in a forgiving mood. The thugs were given suspended sentences—one of 15 months and one of six months.
Fast forward to last week when the same judge had to consider a different kind of case involving two young women who did not attack anyone, but did throw a can of soup at a painting by Vincent Van Gogh.
No one needed surgery. The picture frame was moderately affected because—fun fact—tomato soup is apparently “slightly acidic”. But His Honour Christopher Hehir reacted very differently, jailing one young woman for more than two years and the other for 20 months.
@EJ_McGuinness@PoliticsMoments Can't even tell the truth in the 'clarification'. Good luck to you, sir, and to the actual Surrey Heath residents if they decide to vote you in.
@ChrisMasonBBC@BBCNews Judging by the comments here @ChrisMasonBBC, the addition (by you) of Farage's voice to this election doesn't quite add "intrigue, personality, jeopardy, excitement and anger in roughly equal measure". It's just the latter.
Had a rant about the crooked Tory party on #LateNightLycett@joelycett@jackrooke
WHERE HAS ALL THE MONEY GONE?
"Earlier in the year they'd been in power for 5,000 days since David Cameron became Prime Minister.. I calculated how much they have added to the national debt.. It's over £300,000,000 a day for 5,000 days.. Where's all the money gone?"
"Everything: NHS, prisons, schools, water, rivers.. Even the water in the taps.. Everything has turned to sh*t"
ClientEarth 🌐 has won their court challenge with @friends_earth 🌍 and @goodlawproject 💗 against the UK government 🙄 over its inadequate climate strategy https://t.co/wGc50LwwRt
💥 COURT WIN 💥 The High Court has now told the UK government not once, but twice, that its climate strategy is not fit-for-purpose, and is therefore unlawful.

“Our problems in this country are not arriving on a beach in Kent from France.
They’re arriving because of the oligarchs and the billionaires that run our society.”
Trudi Warner could face two years in prison for simply holding a placard defending the rights of juries.
Do you stand with Trudi?

@WCPSFarnham Happy Easter!
Do you have an equivalent page with term dates for 24/25 year please? And, if not, what's the first day back in school for the kids after summer holidays (and any inset days)? Thanks!

Publish the legal advice that gives UK license to continue arms exports to a genocidal regime, @David_Cameron.
Tweeting about how much aid we are sending to Gaza does not lessen the crime. Hypocrite.

@neillcameron@jamiesmart Between World Book Day and your visit, Maria had the best week! Thanks for signing her drawing and book 📚. For your next trick, she wondered can you get her hamster Spike into the @phoenixcomicuk Fanfare?!
List of things I am happy to protest about as a farmer:
1. Goverment trade deals being deeply unfair - nothing should come in to this country that is produced beneath our production/welfare/eco standards
Private water companies have lost £60 billion. Despite this they have payed out £72 billion in ‘profit’.
This £60 billion will eventually have to be paid by you. Even though they could have paid it with the £72 billion.
It’s a scam, Nationalise NOW.
