@bettyredondo debunked here ⬇️

[Jason | 🇬🇧 🇿🇦 🇮🇱🇺🇲 @Ajaon_of_All]

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

@DrMatthewSweet hope there was some "to you, to me" as it was handed over... 😊

@canthelpmenow7 so sorry to hear this - can you explore options with networks of parents who've sadly shared similar experiences?

@marioledwith St Aelreds school was in Newton-le-Willows, not St Helens

Is Andy Burnham’s ‘Manchesterism’ really a success story?

Love this BBC reporter going all Dick Van Dyke while talking to the people of West Bromwich about Labour promising: "We are gonna sor' ou' the cost o' livin'", before returning to RP for the voiceover

[Paula Tucker @ibundle]

Daniel Mays is 100% believable as Worboys in ITV's #BelieveMe & police incompetence/misogyny is powerfully portrayed

[Paula Tucker @ibundle]

@icod What did you think about the political stuff? Felt like a departure from the usual and not as convincing IMO. Agree the teacher/student stuff is fab

[Paula Tucker @ibundle]

@icod gruyere too. nutty and "plastic" texture

[Paula Tucker @ibundle]

@icod surely it's a TOWIE top

[Paula Tucker @ibundle]

@icod It’s Gnatasha who annoys me most
