Our previous MP (who I never voted for) was excellent at helping sort out local travel disasters with Highways and other agencies. It’s a very big issue in the constituency. @tomrutland can you get involved?
This is not acceptable @HighwaysSEAST it needs sorting very urgently. 2 miles took 45 minutes this morning and that wasn’t rush hour. Schools are back Monday, you need to come up with a solution really quickly please.

The new Taliban law in Afghanistan that demands not only covering a woman’s face and entire body but also forbids even the sound of her voice is like burying them alive before the eyes of the world. Don’t watch “The Handmaid’s Tale”—this is reality.

Could you open your heart to a foster dog, cat or small animal? We urgently need more foster carers to join our Break Away scheme: raystede.org/adopt/foster-an… Animal fostering was also the subject of our appearance on @itvmeridian. Watch the full interview: youtu.be/LEaCR6SR8TM

Rabbits aren’t just for Christmas, they are a 10-year commitment 🐰🎁🙅    Rabbits do not make good first-time pets for children and are not a good Christmas present idea.    Rabbits are living, breathing animals, not playthings. Please think twice about giving them as presents.

The recent release of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Mutant Mayhem, has struck a chord with Raystede as we are currently creating a unique sanctuary for injured and abandoned terrapins. Read more about what Raystede is doing to help: bit.ly/3KB2O3G

This is the second 'report' on this bogus charity. We all know in the sector about this scam charity and the 'fundraising agency' who receive most of the money conned from the public. What is @ChtyCommission going to do to close and stop this? Action not reports please.
Our inquiry into Hospice Aid UK has found that just over £3m of £3.2m in funds raised by the charity were consumed by fundraising costs and fees, leaving less than 6% for charitable activities. Read more: gov.uk/government/news/watch…

Girls crying in agony as they’re told that they will have to leave the university & go home as the Taliban have BANNED female university education in Afghanistan. Painful to hear. How can we sit idly by as millions of girls are denied their human rights.
