I love birds and I’m furious that the UK Government has launched an #AttackOnNature. I have written urgently to my MP, Greg Smith. Will you email yours? Follow this link, it makes it very straightforward. action.rspb.org.uk/page/1140…
Can you help me stop this #AttackOnNature @gregsmith_uk? Nature groups are worried, and so am I! There are Gov plans to rip up nature rules and renege on manifesto commitments! Please ask @DEFRA & @trussliz to listen to @WildlifeTrusts and others, you must #DefendNature

Is it too much to ask in @BorisJohnson Britain that the new Education Minister set an example to our nations children and not show the general public her middle finger.

He is of course right, but why did he not close them when he was Health Secretary? @Jeremy_Hunt @LearningDisEng
Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee Jeremy Hunt says the UK's treatment of people with autism "shames a civilised society", after a report says there is a "shocking" six-year average length of stay in assessment and treatment units.

Select committee chair Jeremy Hunt rightly calls for action on 'national shame' of 2,000 autistic/learning disabled ppl locked in assessment & treatment units.
A health secretary has powers to act here.
For those with short memories, Hunt was health secretary 2012-2018.

Maybe we can have John Bercow back as MP for Buckingham? He would definitely be an improvement on the current anonymity @johnbercow1
keep smiling guys, you bring a smile to my face for sure
Things that made us smile this week are building a shed, first poppies, family memories, sleepy puppy, fish n chips, seeing partners, birthday drinks, summer hats and a cat in a box. #smilepostcard #selfadvocacyworks #staypositive #spreadjoy #StayConnected #StrongerTogether
