Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

Berwick Bank could kill more birds than any other windfarm on Earth, devastating colonies of Gannets, Puffins and Kittiwakes off Scotland’s coast. 🚨
We support renewables, but not at catastrophic cost to seabirds already in crisis.

The amount of extra heat humans are adding to the ocean is 14 zettajoules which is equal to 7 atomic bombs detonating every second of every day for a year.
Since 1955 oceans have absorbed excess heat enough to boil 60 billion Olympic swimming pools

Our National Parks are at risk. ⚠️
From the rugged Lakes to the sweeping South Downs, these landscapes define us and our future. They sustain wildlife, communities and our wellbeing - and they must be protected.
A future that puts them at risk isn't what anyone voted for.

The government are wrong to think places and nature don’t matter to the public. ❌
All evidence shows the opposite.
Weakening protections for our National Parks would be a devastating step backwards for nature, and for the landscapes millions love.

Nature has never been under such attack
Humans no longer have fishing rods
They have mega factory ships that can scoop up millions of fish in a few hours
Mega logging machines that can log forests in weeks
Entire eco systems that sustain life are being obliterated

Is it really *that hard* to say that it is totally morally wrong to say to people who have come here legally, worked, paid taxes, built their lives here, contributed to Britain, that they have to fuck off now, rather than "unfunded".
Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”.
So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong
