RT @MilesKing10: Agroecology is a way of producing food that respects nature, minimises inputs of products imported from around the world like Russian synthetic fertiliser or pesticides. Agroecology includes pastoralism, indeed agroecology is utterly dependant on livestock for nutrients 8/12

RT @MilesKing10: Between 200 and 500 million people across the world practise pastoralism, including nomadic communities, transhumant herders, and agropastoralists. These ancient cultures are threatened by all manner of things, not least climate change and theft of traditional grazing lands. 1/12

RT @BobJSweeney: If you paid a contractor to dispose of your rubbish and they fly tipped it onto a beach, they’d be prosecuted.
What’s the difference with sewage? 🤔 #SewageScandal

RT @greenmattbfd: To avoid any doubt, this government is not on the side of #workers.
⛴️ Yesterday it was P&O workers
🚆 Today it's rail workers
👩⚕️ Tomorrow it could be nurses, teachers, council workers ... Anyone

@Isawhitney2 @garethn @greenmattbfd But it is. There are reports based on investigating the facts. The statistics are there. You are imagining things that are literally impossible and holding an opinion that we know would be refuted by reality.

@LawrenceLocke6 @greenmattbfd Do you say that about roads?

RT @greenmattbfd: Something to think with #railstrikes today:
🇪🇸🇩🇪🇱🇺🇲🇹 - Some gov'ts are making #PublicTransport free or cheaper to help tackle the #ClimateCrisis and the #CostOfLivingCrisis
🇬🇧 Tories are trying to cut rail jobs, waging war on unions and bashing cyclists

RT @anders_aslund: 2. Stop worrying about nuclear war! Putin, with five known superyachts, will not survive a nuclear war. Hitler had plenty of chemical arms but he committed suicide instead of using them on the battlefield, because they could not help him to win. Nukes are obsolete.

RT @carbdiem: I love when job vacancies claim they have a great benefits scheme when their benefits are listed like this:

These aren’t benefits babe. You’ve listed mandatory UK law. You have 0 benefits.

RT @carla_denyer: Why does @TheGreenParty think nationalising the Big 5 #energy retailers is a necessary part of lowering the #EnergyPriceCap?
In this week's @NewStatesman @NS_Spotlight I explore this in detail - and compare and contrast with Labour & Lib Dem proposals: https://www.newstatesman.com/spotlight/energy/2022/08/price-cap-freeze-nationalise-big-five-energy-companies

RT @lee_georgina: How many A&E patients wait more than 12 hours between a decision to admit them to hospital and actually being admitted?
In August 2010, NHS England recorded one case of this. Not 100, not 1,000. Just one.
Last month, that figure was 29,317.

Ask not just how tough were the sanctions (answer, not the toughest) but who was exempt and why.
