This depresses me beyond words. Democracy my arse. I don’t & can’t believe that anyone in this country, whatever their political leanings, will have voted hoping our food standards & animal welfare would be compromised.
Government just voted with majority of 53 to strip amendment 16 from
#AgricultureBill
, which would have safeguarded food standards in trade deals - demonstrating beyond doubt that their promises are totally utterly & completely worthless - even when enshrined in their manifesto👇
You will not fuck with my children’s future. You will not destroy the freedoms my grandfather fought two world wars to defend. Fuck off you over-promoted rubber bath toy. Britain is revolted by you and you little gang of masturbatory prefects.
NEW: Boris Johnson's Rule Of 6 has a controversial exemption - for grouse shooting and similar field sports.
Upto 30 people can gather to hunt with guns cos classed as a licensed outdoor sport.
EXCLUSIVE: Cab Office drafted special meeting on exemption
@GretaThunberg
What you have achieved already & what you are doing is remarkable & appreciated, supported & championed by many more people than those few who have no regard for the future of our planet & the life it supports. It may feel sometimes like a lonely fight but you are not alone!
I think this hilarious, given I always look a mess, but isn’t it heartening to discover people using the current situation & time of year to spread cheer, happiness & good will?!! Fuck off Brian.
Very sad to hear about Lord Bath of
@Longleat
. Everyone will describe him as eccentric - & he was, gloriously so - but he was also kind & fun - & we all need a bit of kindness & fun in our lives.
I’m struggling (& I know I’m not alone) to take in the magnitude of the horror in Brazil. This isn’t just a wilfull act of power-play but a crime against all humanity & all life on earth. The aftermath will haunt us for generations. It makes me ashamed to be human.

My dad being carefully, sensitively & compassionately looked after in hospital (& on the mend). To all working in hospitals looking after those we love today THANK YOU
I had the
@AstraZeneca
jab yesterday. No side effects at all, apart from feeling felt oddly emotional & hugely privileged as I waited for my turn. Thank you to Avril for delivering it so painlessly, all the team in Newport & mostly to the dedicated scientists

You are all adorable. I’m afraid I really do look bloody awful today - spent entire day in rain, mud, building chicken runs & mucking out. Mess doesn’t even begin to describe what I look like, but I do love my followers. Happy Sunday xxxx
In my lifetime I don’t believe we have ever had a government so bad, so corrupt, so utterly out of touch with the people it is supposed to represent, support & (god help us) lead.
When your day starts with your great clutz of a dog knocking over a bucket of eggs & breaking the lot all over the floor & then you burn your toast, it feels like the best thing is to go back to bed and start again

Not cheerful reading, I’m afraid, but important we all understand what we are dealing with. This government seems to think it can just get any with anything - please don’t let it.
Please don't let the government get away with this. It's a huge scandal, that threatens our health, our freedom and even our lives. I would be very grateful if you RTed the hell out of it.
Thank you.
This is terrifying. I know so much is terrifying, wrong, downright inept & hopeless-feeling at the moment, which is why nature, having a healthy environment around us, has never been so important. This is OUR home too. Fight for it.
0% of rivers, lakes and streams are classed in good health in England. Yes, you read that correctly: 0%.
It's time for ecological restoration at scale. We must invest in a

Just spoken to my mum. Her next door neighbours have opened a gap in their garden fence & given her the right to roam! She is overwhelmed by the kindness around her. Me too. Thank you.
A lovely thing happened this morning. Getting on tube at London Bridge & woman working at barrier said ‘you interviewed me when you were working on City Hospital. I’d had a prem baby. He’s 18 now!’

A country bumpkin in New York found solace in Central Park this afternoon. Thank you to the slightly nonplussed woman who let me pet her dog. It helped!
Saw a white hare this morning (as opposed to a white hair which seems to happen every morning) & felt like Alice in Wonderland. The joy of an
