It's very clear: Paula Vennells was on top of things enough to justify her massive CEO salary, but not on top of things enough to know anything about the biggest miscarriage of justice in British history. #postofficeinquiry
@thangammp Every constituency in Great Britain backs assisted dying, including ours. Please look at this new poll and join me in calling for a more compassionate law.

And Keir has now pledged a vote when he becomes PM. Please support this
🤔 What do you think should happen to Hester's £10m donation to the Conservative Party?
1️⃣ Send it back to the person who made racist and misogynist comments about Diane Abbott?
2️⃣ Donate it to anti-racism and domestic abuse charities?
When you fail spectacularly, when you were the least popular and shortest-serving Prime Minister in the country's history, you have two options:
1. Some reflection and humility.
2. Invoke conspiracy theories and blame everyone else.
Liz has taken Option 2.

However the UK's pledge today is not new and additional, and instead comes from the existing commitment of £11.6bn for climate finance and 0.5% GNI for ODA.
CAN-UK calls for Loss & Damage finance to be genuinely new and additional moving forward.
Tory govt has covertly signed a contract targeting 20% cuts to new education plans for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to bring down costs.
With a SEND son, I know the pain this will cause to so many children & families

Dear @ecb, our public money, our futures, our decision! We won't accept investments in fossil fuel developers. It's time for the green transition. @bundesbank@Isabel_Schnabel
I’m sick of a system that allows airlines to ignore passenger rights.
I’m with @WhichUK. @RishiSunak show you care. Make sure airlines breaking the rules face hefty fines.

Our forests, rivers, oceans and grasslands are in peril - worldwide, over 75% of nature is in bad shape. But this week @EP_Environment could vote for a law to #RestoreNature. MEPs: Without nature, there's no food, no water, no future - we need a strong Nature Restoration Law
Amazon has abandoned one of its main climate commitments.
Amazon's "Shipment Zero" pledge to make half of all shipments net-zero carbon by 2030 recently disappeared from its website... replaced by a little link to an update that says "we’ve decided to eliminate it."
The coast of Peru is on fire. Due to the potential arrival of El Niño, the Peruvian government has already declared a state of emergency for 60 days in 131 districts. It's going to be a long hot period for the foreseeable.
Net Zero Watch spreads deeply dangerous climate denial & delay. Shameful that Tory MPs like Andrea Jenkyns, whose party could be about to approve climate-wrecking #Rosebank, are at the heart of it. Time to kick dirty fossil fuel interests out of politics.

🎉 Happy #EuropeDay!
🇪🇺 Brexit has been a disaster for our country and the Green Party is committed to repairing our relationship with the EU.
💚 We would rejoin the customs union, bring back freedom of movement and rejoin the EU when the time is right.
The oppressive policing of the coronation is still being justified on the grounds that 3 people were arrested in the early hours for possession of rape alarms: "They might have been used to frighten the horses".
So who were these people and why were they carrying rape alarms? 🧵
President @KagutaMuseveni: you wanted a scientific opinion to establish if homosexuality is natural, before deciding whether to sign the Anti-Homosexuality Bill
