Burning Biodiversity. This perpetuates a mono culture for shooting. It supports a small subset of species. Our uplands should be a nature rich mosaic of habitats: montane woodland, alpine flowers, scrub, moor, mixed native woodland, peatbog, montane scrub... 📸@townsendoutdoor

Disabled people are among the worst hit by the cost-of-living crisis.

@RishiSunak could have used his conference speech to address this. But instead of offering support, the Prime Minster wants to make life harder for disabled people receiving benefits.

@W1curates How can we see this please? It’s not mentioned on your website…. Is it only taking place on Friday?

Gustavo Fernandez, that is outstanding!

Gordon Reid may have been favourite to win this rally after his lob, but Fernandez never gave up 👏

So the harassment of Carol Vorderman has been happening for months - Carol just refused to respond
- remember this when #FelicityMinge starts presenting this as an attack on her little Johnny (pun intended)

Everything wrong with Britain is caused by our FPTP system of elections.

Because the Conservatives can win by appealing to a minority of voters, with batshit policies.

In 2019:
2.3M fewer votes
99 more MPs

The fight for Proportional Representation is the fight for everything.

@GerryHassan @EmmaWalkerCEO @MhairiBlack Aww @MhairiBlack you’ve been a star. I love your honesty and integrity. Something that is sadly missing in politics today. Wish you all the best. X

@NHSMillion It is heartbreaking when reading this and it goes on to say “free to all at the point of delivery” It really is time for this shabby excuse of a government was called into question. They disgust me. #SaveOurNHS

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight.

Please take just two seconds to show you care.

Finished work, back online only to find Minister @JohnnyMercerUK has replied to my tweet about his comments re military personnel going to foodbanks as "making a "personal decision" " with

"You are grim. 🤮"

Has he been hacked? Or is this now a new low Tory govt bar?

Pls RT

[Scots Wahae @Scotracer]

@EmmaWalkerCEO @agcolehamilton @HolyroodDaily @scotlibdems @LibDems Come on @agcolehamilton isn’t it about time you addressed these issues? Saying nothing isn’t a dignified silence, it’s saying you don’t care if this happens in your party or that you are too cowardly to face the problems head on. The issue isn’t going away it’s getting louder!

[Scots Wahae @Scotracer]

@ferguson2811 @gracealan @EmmaWalkerCEO @agcolehamilton @HolyroodDaily @scotlibdems @LibDems @holyroodmandy Yes come on @holyroodmandy, cover this story, much more relevant and necessary than writing about Wisharts Rock n Roll life. This is a proper story not a puff piece.

Caught her again! Another of our 'imaginary' Barn Owls...Church of England state "very low potential to support breeding or roosting" on the 300 acres they plan to cover in concrete! 🤔 See pinned tweet on how we're trying to protect their habitat #wildlife #owls #birdwatching

State VS Private schools
Thatcher/Major sold 10,000 school playing fields
Private schools keep charitable status, so don't pay VAT or full tax assessment. Don't pay approx £1,800 million tax per year.
But don't worry Tory gov giving kids £3million this summer for a kick around 😡

Trollers who think it smart to be ageist:
1. You'll all get old. It happens to everybody.
2. For many of us, old remains a 4 letter word.
3. If you pay attention, you might even learn stuff.

[Emma Walker @EmmaWalkerCEO]

It's been torture to watch @willie_rennie and @agcolehamilton berate Scottish Government, knowing how they'd treated me when I went to them with suicidal intentions. It felt punitive and I felt like I was going mad. This is why Donald signed my petition:

@ProtectWldlife @teachertwit2 @PhilSpencerTV I’m shocked and so disappointed @PhilSpencerTV I actually thought you were I decent person. Why does it feel good to shoot a living creature?
