Government's new Climate #Adaptation Programme is desperately lacking in urgency & ambition - recycled pledges & promises to do more research instead of urgent action *now* to protect homes & restore nature. No wonder @theCCCuk said in March that UK is “strikingly unprepared”

@HarrietLamb_ @WRAP_UK For me it would be working with the D of E to make Food Ed compulsory through to college but not to receive a qualification, ensuring that it incorporates meal planning, budget management, how to store foods so they last longer, meat free meals, nutrition & where food comes from.

I've returned to my parents' home in West Oxfordshire this Christmas to find people angry and worried about the future of the village.

Why? Because they say "Europe's biggest solar farm" is about to be built on their doorstep.

Britain is broken…says the man who is responsible for it…

Last year it was girls excluded from secondary school, now it is women excluded from university and girls from primary school. This is an outrage

I am calling on all who believe in equal rights to protest against the Taliban's vicious decision to deny girls and women education.

@joeloyo @pinchofnom cookbooks have some yummy options although it’s mixed in with meat dishes. @bbcgoodfood is a frequent go to website of mine. If you have social media have a look on TikTok for inspiration.

@marinabirds What I love about my WIP is that my protagonist is in her 30s going on her first big quest across the realm with her best friend. She doesn’t have all the answers, she makes mistakes and can be a bit grumpy. Images all from Pinterest.

The Tory push for Voter ID is not about tackling fraud.

There are very few fraud convictions even in busy electoral years.

This is a Tory voter suppression strategy to drive down the number of working-class votes - and especially targeting young and ethnic minority voters.

@Conservatives @nadhimzahawi Your - quite frankly desperate - attempts to reject any responsibility for the situation is sad but unsurprising. This has nothing to do with labour and everything to do with you and your shambolic mismanagement of the country for 12 years #WinterOfDiscontent #ToryShambles

But I thought your party was in charge? 🤔 Taking back control going well for you then?

Keir Starmer either cannot or will not stand up to his union mates causing strike chaos across the country.

It’s Labour’s nightmare before Christmas delivered with their pal Mick “Grinch” Lynch.

[Jessica Gordon-Calvert 🌍 @JHCal1]

@Conservatives The whole point of a strike is to cause chaos… your party is in charge & yet you’ve enabled a December & Christmas of chaos because you’re incapable of negotiating effectively & supporting ordinary, working people (who just so happen to be in a union).

@chronicles_of_n I find it it frustrating when there’s limited shelving because of the genre and most of it is filled when loads of copies of Lord of the rings, game of Thrones or terry pratchett (no offence to any of those). Find WHSmiths often has really small SFF sections in poor stock!

@SmashBearPH More tips on once you’ve completed your first draft and any of your sustainability and social responsibility work.

[Jessica Gordon-Calvert 🌍 @JHCal1]

@CharlotteWA_UoD @usceduau Love that this links to the SDGs!

@chronicles_of_n @orbitbooks That’s awesome! Most of my new books in that pic - can’t wait to read them!

@SmashBearPH Daft question - are you accepting NaNo scripts from previous years or just those produced in NaNo22? Thanks!
