@BBCWomansHour The amount of lip smacking during speech in today’s programme was distracting and very annoying - I had to turn off!

As of right now 70,356 people have signed the govt petition to end the Badger cull.

We’ve got until 28th May to reach 100k and force a debate in Parliament.

Please RT and sign for Badgers!

🚨Breaking News🚨

New data obtained by Save Windermere and analysed by Professor Peter Hammond shows that since 2020, United Utilities has dumped 33,410 hours of untreated sewage into Windermere — which is the equivalent 1,392 full days. It's worth noting there are only 1,827 days between 2020 and 2024.

In 2024 alone, the sites surrounding Windermere discharged 6,327 hours of untreated sewage into the lake.

Don't be fooled by United Utilities' next round of investment — it isn't enough. Their plans will not protect Windermere into the future. Now, more than ever, we must demand more.

Save Windermere remains the only voice calling for a long-term infrastructure investment plan to eliminate sewage pollution from England's largest lake once and for all. This solution has been achieved in lakes across the world — it's not a question of what’s possible, but of cost and political will.

We will not stop until we have a sewage free Windermere.

Oh deary me, they just can't bloody well help themselves can they.

@SouthernWater's under siege CEO has taken to gaslighting parliament. Now trying to make us all believe that the policy and regulatory change needed by water companies to allow them to fix all of this was brought about by campaigners and he thinks we're all terribly fabulous people and now wants to work with us...

Try it this way. The law was clear in 1991. It was updated in 1994. The court told you so in 2012 and yet again in 2021.

Here's a hint. We don't need or want your false, insincere flattery, try doing your bloody job, comply with the law and we need never speak each others names ever again.

Or perhaps you should have just done that in the first place, 35 years ago.

'We know that doctors who want to help children, and want to proscribe in the NHS, are being told they cannot'

On #BBCBreakfast Hannah Deacon, whose son Alfie is one of a handful of NHS patients to receive medical cannabis, spoke to Layla Moran MP, chair of the Health Select Committee

Thank you to the courageous families and suppliers in being so brave, coming forward. A huge thankyou to my colleagues @Matt_Hughes79 @alicesalisburyj @dr_CallieSeaman for all the hard work put into this. We won't give up on families and our own children's futures.

Today I'll be on @BBCBreakfast at 8:05, discussing @MedcanFamily commissioned report on the illegal use of cannabis in children. This is a growing problem which @wesstreeting can do something about. We are calling on @10DowningStreet to step in today to sort this huge problem out

NEVER EVER have I ever seen anything like this before and I have covered many many disasters. With brooms, buckets, food and water in hand, the Valencian community go and help their neighbours ♥️♥️♥️

[Hannah Deacon @Hannah_Deacon40]

The law changed 6 yrs ago today to help patients like Alfie access medical cannabis on prescription. To date only 3 prescriptions have been issued to children via @NHSuk. This is shameful. The policy introduced by the previous Government has failed to help patients.@wesstreeting

I have watched Osprey pull fish out of the water thousands of times and it still completely blows my mind that this is even possible. This bird was so close I could feel it as it flew past. Look how it has the fish locked up in a cage of talons. Unreal!
