Today the National Trust launched a 10-year strategy with ambitious plans for nature & climate. Almost every paper reported positively - from the Mirror to the Express. Even the Mail.

Until the diphtheria vaccine, diphtheria was the #1 killer of children, worldwide. Trump says he'll cut all federal funds to any school that insists we vaccinate children against pertussis, diphtheria, mumps, measles, and polio.
