Animals have been failed by @UKLabour
“The government has shown that should it ever become inconvenient to follow the law to protect animals, they will simply change the law to allow the practice”
theguardian.com/world/2025/j…
“Arresting law-abiding people because they’re politically inconvenient is a frightening development in any democracy & is a direct result of the government’s instinct to shut down free speech & prevent people standing up for issues they care deeply about.”

How I'm trying to adapt to my new, smaller life with #LongCovid.
I lost my job. I lost my role as a local councillor. I'm housebound. I can't do much with my kids & partner. And I can't do many of the things I love due to the constant fatigue.
But I have to try and carry on🧵

We were very pleased to have been able to contribute to the food system transformation section of the @UKHealthClimate policy report on biodiversity, climate change and health.
Agriculture sector is responsible for 1/3rd of global GHG emissions & major driver of biodiversity loss. Urgent changes in the food systems are needed.

I've been following a number of family court parental alienation cases over the last 18 months & have seen a pattern of mothers making allegations of domestic abuse or child sex abuse being invited to undergo psychological assessments before being labelled mad, bad or unstable.🧵

Can we feed a future population of 10 billion people within planetary boundaries? Yes! Great news! We just need to shift to a plant predominant diet - & as a bonus this has many health co-benefits. Even better news! #VegMed2023 @DrLauraFreeman

There are additional threats to human health from our reliance on animal products in our diet - pandemics & antimicrobial resistance are nightmares we don’t want to face. A #plantbased diet massively reduces risk #VegMed2023
