The NHS is not a charity.
The NHS is a public service, and should be properly funded🚨
If you agree, RT.

It's nesting season and our garden birds are working hard. All wild birds, their nests and eggs are protected by law. It’s important not to disturb them, so remember to leave the hedge-trimming until later in the year. 🐣🌳😊

Well this is rather exciting for a fledgling entomologist! I wrote a thing with @szshollo

Dear Councils.....
Can we just agree that cutting down grass that’s rich in wild flowers and therefore a habitat, and supporting climate and ecological emergencies isn’t essential work?
In fact it’s essential it’s NOT done!!

Have you noticed the colour of the water in all the pictures of flooding & swollen rivers across the UK?
That's our top soil being washed away because of poor agricultural policy
Yes, some of the thinking in Env and Agricultural Bills should help, but implementation is key

Tree planting is important, but it must not destroy much rarer, valuable habitats. This wildflower-rich grassland in Cumbria has been planted without thought to the Butterfly Orchids, Betony, Scabious, Restharrow, Harebell and assoc'd biodiversity.
Please RT to raise awareness!

SCIENTISTS: “We’ve produced the first-ever image of a supermassive Black Hole, 55-million light years away”
RESPONSE: “Oooh!”
SCIENTISTS: “We’ve concluded that humans are catastrophically warming Earth”
RESPONSE: “That conflicts with what I want to be true, so it must be false”

BREAKING NEWS: today the High Court has accepted our claim against the government regarding the #OxCamExpressway. We can now look forward to a full hearing for our claim that the govt broke EU law in the Expressway proposal. We will not stop speaking up for wildlife 👏 – at London, England

Wildlife bridges and corridors can help plants and animals move between fragmented habitats. RT if you think the UK needs many more (photo from Switzerland) #WilderFuture

Sorry for horrible pic, but really want to hammer home #bonfirenight message. PLEASE check your bonfires carefully before lighting and light from only one side to provide escape route. Better still don't have a bonfire....
