@TheRSC trying to book an access ticket or at least find out more information but little clarity on your website and seemingly no response from the booking office telephone number. Can you advise?

Over 1,000 joined together to block the strand today outside the RCJ including @JonathanPieNews @HughFW .

We will not be swayed by the extreme sentences handed down to those peaceful protestors sounding the alarm on climate collapse – justice for the #LordWalney16

When UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world, we should be doing everything we can to protect it - not give developers a free pass to concrete over land regardless of what's there

Another U-turn on Labour's promise to protect the environment

@RBWM_Libraries I can't see how to search on Spydus and request books in stock in neighbouring authorities, is this option no longer available to @RBWM residents?

Tory Govt gave sewage-dumping South West Water £453m subsidy; £40m a year since 2013.

Company paid £1.5bn dividends.

It has 174 criminal convictions, paid fines of £4.54m.

People fleeced -high bills, subsidies.

Labour opposes public ownership of water.

@MerriamWebster really enjoy Blossom and Quordle but disappointing there doesn't seem to be a way of synchronising across devices?

This video is incredible.

Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

One view:

‘The partygate scandal was overblown’ - Kemi Badenoch

Another view:

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Kemi Badenoch says partygate scandal was 'overblown', govt should not have fined people.

Jeez ... Johnson & others broke the law, partied whilst people couldn't say farewell to their loved ones.

Tories rewriting history, showing no remorse.

Just seen a hotel advertising a 30% discount for those under 30, which seems a bit ageist ☹️. Of course if it was a 70% discount for the over 70s that would be excellent...

UK businesses displaying inaccurate food hygiene ratings, with many lying about them when challenged.

Is there any major business that doesn't lie/cheat to fleece customers?

Rather than prosecuting directors to restore trust govts push deregulation.

Bodies responsible for monitoring accounting & legal sectors not doing enough to stop money laundering.

Accountants/Lawyers central to money laundering.

Crazy - 25 trade associations are regulators.

All excluded from FOI laws, owe duty of care to none.

Shipbuilder Harland & Wolff to enter administration.

UK has no industrial strategy. High energy costs, cuts in public spending don't help.

Public ownership of key industries is taboo but UK Govt will let Spain’s state-owned shipbuilder buy the company.

So you've broken the law 259 times in the last 2 years alone and receive 146 warnings, what do you think happens?

Err, if your name's @YorkshireWater absolutely nothing, nada, zip, zero. The hapless regulator allows you to carry on like nothing ever happened.

Wouldn't that be right @EnvAgencyYNE

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

@CentralBylines @Barry4EU #Clacton can remove #Farage. Clacton have 8 weeks in which they can petition their local Returning Officer. If 10% of constituents sign that petition, @Nigel_Farage can be removed.
