This is a shame but leaving the bronze stumps and bare plinths with just the qr code to listen to the birdsong would say more about extinction and human-caused biodiversity collapse than just having more pieces made to replace them, in my opinion. https://t.co/UuzCdUKRSw

@Pickfords I have been waiting for the delivery of my pottery wheel and kiln for 2 weeks. I was assured on the phone mid-move that the hefty additional charge for a big item larger than estimated would cover getting it into the house. Now it's doubled. Don't make promises you can't keep.

We are excited to have made the move from the Highlands down to Sheffield ! It's been over a week now and I'm still awaiting the delivery of my kiln from @Pickfords slight communication error but hopefully they will resolve it soon! 🤞🏻✨

#bbc6music so now it's a "companion episode" ?! Way to reframe the terrible decision to nix the #WildIsles episode that focuses on GB's vastly denuded biodiversity and show it only online. If we are to take extinction seriously it means honestly looking at the trouble we're in.

@YourSSE on hold for 1hr 15 mins and going slightly loopy.. (last week it was just 45min). Can you please install some kind of queue system on your helpline so customers can tell how long they'll have to wait and please mix up the music so its not same 2 clips on repeat. Thanks!

[Russell Beard @russellbeard]

Good news! BA are leading $24million investment in ZeroAvia -world leaders in carbon-free flight. We traveled to Orkney to talk with them last year & see how they're using Green Hydrogen made from excess renewable energy. New earthrise series coming soon! https://t.co/xtmyoKw3CS

Come on #viveraplantsteak if you really want to change the world stop using #singleuseplastics . the product is tasty but your packaging is prohibitive and polluting and undermines your #morelifelessmeat #vivavivera brand.

Before the election, publicity for the ITV broadcast of my film, The Dirty War on the NHS, was subject to an embargo at the very time that the film's theme, the sell-off of the NHS, was at the forefront of British politics. The ITV broadcast is now on Tuesday 17 Dec, at 10.45pm.
