Four race horses perished at Newton Abbot Racecourse today - 25 June - racing’s darkest day in 17 years.
Hallowed Rose suffered a broken neck; Bala Brook and Cuzzicombe were injured then destroyed; & 3yo Happy Helen collapsed dead after being brutally whipped. #BanJumpRacing

And of course it's down to Farage that Without Me is in the charts, nothing to do with Eminem's first album in years being at number 1 or anything.

[Amanda @wj_amanda]

Someone might want to tell @Eminem that a UK based right-wing, fascist, racist, plastic politician is using one of his songs to further his company's shitty agenda 🙄 (note 'company' and not 'political party', because they aren't one).

Holy shiiiiii.....

Last 18 hours on the North Esk river webcam at Gannochy Bridge in Edzell. Our local river webcams are available here: https://t.co/wEdZRLGa2G - #StormBabet #Babet #Scotland #SevereWeather #Angus #Laurencekirk #flood #Aberdeenshire

For anyone who has the displeasure of encountering 'Tainte' supporters, this is an excellent response to their fascist, bigoted diatribe.

@maryannehobbs absolutely buzzing off the show today! So much great music I know and lots I don't, an absolute joy to listen to ❤️

@billybragg While I agree the disposal of her usual punk attire is most certainly to pander to Daily Mail readers, highlighting her dress is probably not the most conducive way to go about calling out her hateful, anti-trans rhetoric.

@Lambrini_Girls @KerrangMagazine She's blocked me after commenting, no surprise there 😂 she's also featured in the Daily Mail this week. A "punk" in the Daily Mail.... Sigh.

[Amanda @wj_amanda]

Beautifully and factually written. I don't understand terfs and I never will. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

@LouiseDistras @KerrangMagazine @PhilAlexanderUK Where can I direct complaints about someone comparing the expression of gender identity to Nazi propaganda?

[Amanda @wj_amanda]

@TheMaeMartin @handsomepod Loving the podcasts 💖 any plans to return to the UK? We miss you.

[Amanda @wj_amanda]

Why on Earth do I find myself returning to twitter? Because, friends, there are beacons of light, shining through the fog of patriarchy and right-wing extremism... Two such beacons can be seen below. Also, @michaelsheen is on here being adoringly Michael Sheen-y and I LOVE IT.

@gazzabiker Adopt from abroad, there are rescues/charities for dogs from Romania, Cyprus etc.

@trip_cbd please switch to an unrifined sugar or a safe sweetener alternative for your drinks. Disappointed to see that they contain erythritol. Not good. https://t.co/4OmJtv0CWn

[Amanda @wj_amanda]

@trip_cbd please consider changing the sweetener in your drink for actual sugar or a safer alternative sweetener. Was disappointed to find your drinks contain erythritol :(

Hi @sainsburys in Whitchurch, you might want to check out the dates on the Alpro strawberry milk cartons (3 pack). We bought these last week while on holiday and my daughter just pointed out the best before date 😬 I wouldn't mind but she's already drank the other two :/

[Amanda @wj_amanda]

@SumaWholefoods Thanks, I've emailed the photos across.

[Amanda @wj_amanda]

@SumaWholefoods I just found this bit of blue plastic in a tin of your vegan beans and sausages 😬 not your usual quality and a meal wasted 🙁

[Amanda @wj_amanda]

Great, so we have (again) gone from having a viable alternative and an actual opposition to blatant tories on both sides of parliament.

[Daniel Grigg @Daniel_Grigg]

Wes Streeting sounds like a Tory.

Keir Starmer sounds like a Tory.
Rachel Reeves sounds like a Tory.
Yvette Cooper sounds like a Tory.

Since when did centrists happily vote for Tories?

@creativenature Oh really? How strange!

[Amanda @wj_amanda]

@creativenature I think this carrot cake mix is off. Just received it today in a hamper and as you can see, the packaging is very swollen compared to the brownie one.
