If you'd rather we banned supplying Israel with weapons instead of banning Palestine Action.

Spread the message, and prove we do.

Dogs pollute water with pesticides even weeks after flea treatment When dogs given spot treatments for fleas go swimming, they release levels of pesticides dangerous to aquatic life for at least a month after the treatment

No attempt at a smokescreen here in North Dorset - this by my cottage.
The hunt seen waiting in the gateway whilst a fox was chased out of a nearby garden, where it had been taking refuge.

A fascinating feeding strategy/observation yesterday. This male LSW was systematically removing Wood Ants from the top of an Oak tree in order to get to the aphids they were presumably protecting. Bsky video rendering doesn’t quite do it justice. @lesserspotnet.bsky.social #digiscope #birdsuk

β€’ maternity & paternity rights
β€’ pension provision
β€’ holiday & sickness entitlements

victories which have benefited every single person in this country

Ignore the Victorian pencil, Join a union TODAY

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Wouldn't it be nice if this had been true under the Tories but not under Labour?

But well over half of the donations made to Wes Streeting - an advocate for private healthcare involvement in the NHS - are connected to... private healthcare.

People having to pull out their own teeth with pliers is not Victorian - it’s medieval
YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic People having to pull out their own teeth with pliers is not Victorian - it’s medieval

🚨Government’s own shocking data shows a staggering 97% of new patients who try to get an NHS dental appointment fail to get one

People are forced to pull out their own teeth with pliers - it’s not Victorian it’s medieval. We cannot allow this to become normalized

Personally I think that Greenland & Canada should now follow Iceland and set a course to joining the EU.

Parking should be free for staff and patients, no question. The problem is that free parking is likely to be abused by non-hospital users seeking to avoid parking charges in town.

Senior leadership at Warwickshire Police under much needed scrutiny for how they police the activities of the Warwickshire Hunt.

More fantastic investigative reporting by Ch4 News.

Economy shrinks by a further 0.1%

Brexit has cut UK trade by up to 15%...

Immigration is much higher post Brexit

But..the...boatsπŸ™„

WAKE UP and smell the roses...or take your kids' future further into the mire. Then explain how poor we all are in 20 years time

Apart from the super rich of course

When I left X, I left 260000ish followers who cared about the NHS.

This is bad because the NHS is in a state of emergency and EveryDoctor has just launched an important petition. If you can see this, please could you follow me and share this? πŸ€žπŸ’™πŸš¨
