Petition: End the mandatory fortification of white flour with folic acid immediately
We call on the Government to stop the fortification of flour with synthetic folic acid. Folic acid is a medicine not a food.

POST OFFICE BANKRUPTED A MAN FOR ASKING FOR HELP 91 TIMES
Lee Castleton spent 9 years in the RAF, then worked as a stockbroker in the City. In 2003 he and his wife decided they wanted a slower life for their two young kids. They sold their home and bought a small Post Office branch in Bridlington, on the seafront.
Within a year the dream job turned into a nightmare. His accounts started showing losses that made no sense. So he did the responsible thing and called the Horizon helpline. Then he called it again. And again. 91 times in 12 weeks, begging someone to explain where the money was going.
Nobody could tell him. The Post Office's answer to being told 91 times that their own system was broken was to audit him, suspend him, and demand he pay back 25,000 pounds he never touched.
Castleton had no money left for a lawyer so he represented himself in the High Court, alone, against an organisation with a government sized legal budget. He lost. The Post Office then chased him for 321,000 pounds in legal costs and bankrupted him.
That is the reward for reporting a fault 91 times. Bankruptcy.
The fallout went well beyond the shop. His kids were bullied at school. His daughter was spat at because people in town assumed her dad was a thief. His wife's health suffered under the strain. All because a computer system got the maths wrong and nobody at the top wanted to admit it.
In 2019 Castleton was one of over 550 former postmasters who won a group settlement of 58 million pounds. He personally received 20,000 pounds, a rounding error next to what the case cost him. He was even locked out of a mediation scheme the Post Office ran for people who believed they had been wrongly pursued.
Years later former Post Office chief executive Paula Vennells told the Horizon IT Inquiry under oath that Castleton's treatment was unforgivable. She also said she had likely signed off on the 300,000 pound bill that ruined him. Unforgivable is one word for it. There are others.
Castleton is now suing the @PostOffice and @fujitsu_uk for up to 8 million pounds, arguing the original 2007 judgment against him was obtained by fraud. In May 2026 the Court of Appeal ruled his case should be heard as one trial instead of being split into pieces designed to bury it in cost and delay. A small win. Nearly two decades late.
He wanted a quieter life running a post office by the sea. Instead he became one of the clearest examples of what happens when an institution would rather bankrupt an innocent man than admit its software was broken.

MISSING – SELENA (12) & MAGGIE (10)
Selena and Maggie left to go to the Co-op in Caton at around 3pm on Saturday (1 August) and have not been seen by their family since.
They were later spotted around 8:30pm outside Lancaster McDonald’s with a group of girls unknown to the family.
They have never done this before. Their family are extremely worried.
Police, fire and rescue are actively searching the area with drones.
If you see them or know anything at all, contact Lancashire Police on 101 straight away.
Please share – help bring them home safe.
They faced the impossible, so Britain could have a future. 🇬🇧
They didn't know what tomorrow would bring. They simply knew their duty.
Today, we remember the courage, sacrifice and determination of the generation who stood firm when freedom was under threat.
Lest we forget. 🌺
🌋 ✨ Celebrating 110 years - happy birthday to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park!
From the summit to the sea, Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park spans environments shaped by two of Earth’s most active volcanoes: Mauna Loa and Kīlauea.
Within this park, you can see the landscape change dramatically from year to year. Eruptions pave new surfaces, leaving pockets of forest called kīpukas. Eventually, vegetation slowly establishes on new lava flows. The ground surface, like a patchwork quilt, tells a geologic story.

💔HEARTBROKEN FOR THIS BONDED PAIR💔
Logan and Lola just have had no luck after arriving in the UK 💔
This is their second foster home and sadly both of their fosters have had to give up on them due to health issues 💔😔
This isn’t what we promised this gorgeous pair and as homes are harder to find for 2, I know they will again become stuck in kennels 💔💔
We have now been asked to arrange for them to be collected and returned to kennels 💔
This pair are so loving. Lola is more independent than Logan and settled very quickly into the home environment.
Logan loves being outside and needs a secure garden otherwise he will take himself off for a little walk 😂
Both love their walks; a long lasting treat or kong and do love being together.
They just deserve better and I’m praying that someone else can foster this pair as they don’t deserve to be returned to kennels again.💔💔
We have run out of time for them so a home is now needed urgently ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

🚨 Police are asking for the public's help in finding a 13-year-old girl from Bolton. Leah was last seen in Farnworth at around 7pm on Tuesday (July 28).
She is described as a white female of thin build with long Brown hair.
She was last seen wearing black shorts, black vest top, grey jacket, and grey adidas trainers while carrying a black handbag.
Officers are becoming increasingly concerned about her and want to make sure she is safe and well.
This is absolutely criminal from @DefraGovUK and the Flour Manufacturers. Folic Acid could be added to flour for up to two years without appearing on the label! Adding something toxic to many people to food without announcing it is outrageous . This has been done with no notification to consumers. https://t.co/1K1j6Lnlmb
Do you live in the UK then this affects you and everyone you care about. This is mass medication of synthetic folic acid.
Shouldn't we have a choice?

Surely, the safe approach would be to change the labelling first.
Who decided that medication people secretly was the better approach?
Petition in next tweet.
