Our local MP and Climate minister Alok Sharma has flown to six red list nations in seven months without needing to isolate - remember that if you've had to miss your holiday, a family event or a last chance to see a loved one. https://t.co/RUsITLxQnM

Wow ! The German Air-Force has started airlifting Coronavirus patients from Italy to be treated in Germany as part of their solidarity efforts. The plane has a capacity of 44 beds of which 16 are for high Intensive care patients. I am impressed by Germany's decency.This is heroic

Today I’ve written to the three remaining Labour Party leadership candidates, urging them to ditch our broken voting system in favour of proportional representation.

I've taken @friends_earth's #ClimateActionPledge. If elected I'll put the climate first when I vote in parliament. We're in a #ClimateEmergency and must rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions for a greener and fairer society. #ClimateElection https://t.co/6CVrR5BlB2

Politics needs to change. People need to feel that their vote really matters. This is #MyPledgeForPR. If elected, I will do everything I can to bring in Proportional Representation @MakeVotesMatter https://t.co/KIzZyWq3WO https://t.co/N04RCP3gkE

It could possibly be argued that for practical reasons the debate should be limited to the leaders of the four parties which came top in the last UK-wide elections. However, it would seem reasonable to include the leader of the fifth party too, since he is the Prime Minister.

[Meri O'Connell @merioconnell]

Good luck to Vix Lowthion #GE19. The current first past the post system means too many vote to keep out the party they hate the most, not for the party they believe in. We need electoral reform so that no vote is a wasted vote.

[Meri O'Connell @merioconnell]

Corbyn and Johnson not wanting the public to see all the options laid out clearly? Sounds increasingly familiar doesn't it? Vested interests in narrowing your choices. #DebateHer

This is why no one should be bullied by Johnson/Cummings into accepting an arbitrary exit date to suit their selfish electoral ambitions. If you care about British farming, you’ll want to stand up to them.

Take a break from Brexit and vote for my Mum's painting in Jacksons Painting Prize. She's 74 and not social media savvy - the voting is open till Friday. She's a wonderful Mum and a brilliant artist who deserves to get from the long list to the short list! https://t.co/Z0RZj1JR26
