The UK has the worst paternity leave in Europe - two weeks at less than half the minimum wage. This needs to change, so today I joined @dadshiftuk and 120 others around the country to hang these baby grows in Margate #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek#TwoWeeksIsntEnough#DadShift
ICYMI: We've won the biggest conservation victory - EVER!!!!
Governments at @UN finally secured a Global Ocean Treaty that will protect our oceans!
This victory reminds us that taking action makes a difference and that people power works!

Germany and Italy are blocking Russia's expulsion from the SWIFT international bank system.
Time for democratic resisters in Germany and Italy to make sure their leaders hear them.
Ban Russia from SWIFT immediately.
RT to spread the word!
What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK.
The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.
RT to expose. #Wasteminster 1/5
Already doing a brilliant job at zero-waste grocery delivery, help @topuptruck take it to the next level with an upgrade to their truck - Crowdfunder live now - lots of goodies available!
#FreeSchoolMeals On the left £30 of food. On the right what private company Chartwells have supplied having been awarded a government contract to supply for £30 free school meals.
Utterly shameful profiteering off some of the country's most disadvantaged kids!
@jonburkeUK@mayorofhackney Very sorry to hear this for Hackney Jon! Thank you for all you've done - your ambition, guts and ability to get things done will be very much missed. You took commensurate action on the climate and environment crisis - we need people like you running the country.
My friend @SassiSoutherner has started a great new litter picking initiative aimed at getting everyone working from home out of their seats and away from their emails for half an hour and outside picking up litter. Check out this FB group for more info! https://t.co/vzkBMQx7G7
Proud to live in a borough that's forging ahead ambitiously with Low Traffic Neighbourhoods. Out walking today we saw so many adults and kids cycling on the quieter residential streets. Makes living here so much more pleasant! https://t.co/stjBZlCQis
Packaging-free grocery shops are great, but it can be a hassle carting all your containers back and forth. If you find it difficult to get to the shop, what if the shop came to you?

It’s estimated a truckload of plastic enters our ocean every single minute + food packaging is a major contributor. But this truck is a good truck – it’s @topuptruck, the refill store on wheels, bringing packaging-free groceries to residents in Hackney, London. #plasticpollution
