@TiceRichard Have you written to the Home Secretary yet?

A debt-ridden, leaking, polluting industry, owned largely by foreign investment firms, private equity and pension funds ...shockingly illustrated by the scale of raw sewage dumping into rivers: that is the privatised English water industry in 2024. https://t.co/ynXdXMuol6

I’ve just finished Ruskin Park by @ruskin147 and am so moved. A wonderful, honest & beautifully written book. It had me sobbing in places. And it is one of those ‘books that change your thinking’ because I’m going to be more patient with my 80-yr old father now ❤️

@StatsClaudie @ruskin147 @RoryStewartUK Same Christmas books as me. Happy days 😃

Please sign & share. Hedgehogs need all the help they can get

[@NatureNerdTech #Wildcasting 🇨🇦 @NorfolkBea]

I want to believe people care but the number of signatures on my #HedgehogPetition & this nature depleting government’s response tells another story.

Time is running out for an iconic species in serious decline.

@UllapoolB @ruskin147 @bookshop_org_UK I bought my favourite book ever in the wonderful Ullapool bookshop. You had it on a display, it caught my eye and I’ve never really stopped reading it since. (Risingtidefallingstar by Philip Hoare). So, thank you - your displays work!

@HartCollie @ruskin147 I’ll definitely be doing this. I follow Sophie from Romania, and used to have a beautiful rescue collie-cross called Lacey. Thank you!!

@MrPeterAndre @GBNEWS @elliecostelloTV And there was me thinking you always came across as decent. Proves how easy it is to be taken in by ‘celebs’ pretending to be nice.

I had no idea that in the Duchy of Lancashire, if someone dies without leaving a will or known next of kin, King Charles gets the money

£60 million in the last 10 years.

How about stopping this right now?

@RussInCheshire Mum's story ⏬ £400k went to the King!!

After today's High Court ruling that govt and @EnvAgency are acting illegally is this a good time to remind you the SoS for @DefraGovUK is married to an executive at @AnglianWater a WC guilty of 72 environmental permit breaches over the last 10 years?

Tory govt is giving our private medical NHS data to an American former spy-company Palantir....

Owned by Peter Thiel who is a Donald Trump financial donor

Minister refuses to say if our most personal data can then be sold on

Read this thread for the full horror of it all.
@StefSimanowitz has been on this story for a very long time

@ruskin147 Agree! I got one of my favourite ever books from there. Risingtidefallingstar by Philip Hoare.

@ruskin147 @DaveLeeBBG I only use Twitter now to check on Sophie. I used to like it, but now all I get is endless right-wing drivel.

[bookworm @duckchatterer]

@ruskin147 I used to use Twitter a lot, now I come online just once a day to check how Sophie is doing. Elon Musk is just so awful that I’d love to give it up altogether … but your progress with Sophie is too inspirational to miss.

[bookworm @duckchatterer]

@ChrisGPackham @Channel4 @GretaThunberg If you break the law you risk losing the voice you have that gets through to so many people who don’t engage with climate issues. I just watched your programme and it was inspiring, caused much discussion. I worry you’d lose your ability to get through to the masses.

@IanDunt @RoryStewartUK Twitter is really pushing these people. All I get is right-wing rubbish in my feed. I only use it once a day now to check on Sophie from Romania (Rory Cellan Jones’s dog). And only found this post cos I searched for Rory Stewart, even though I follow you.

[bookworm @duckchatterer]

@DianeCoyle1859 @ruskin147 My rescue dog used to take our shoes into her basket - we always knew where to find missing shoes 🙂 it shows you’re doing a great job.

@amandajplatell Kuenssberg a woke leftie?? She’s the exact opposite, and maybe that’s why she lost viewers.
