Our precious #NHS has been deliberately broken.
Never forget that, when the Conservatives came to power In 2010, our NHS was rated the fairest, most efficient and cost-effective healthcare system in the world and had its highest ever public approval rating.

Our biggest trading partner should be the E. U. which is much nearer.

Why is Musk pushing for elections and “regime change” in Ukraine… but not Russia?
Musk & Trump have no interest in democracy, America’s historical guarantees, rule of law, sovereignty or peace.
They’re siding with a murderous dictator to try and break Ukraine - and Europe.

To fight flooding, bring back the beaver—for good, this time
There’s a simple and cost-effective solution to flooding and water shortages. It’s got four legs, a flat tail and a talent for engineering

Let's be honest #Brexit was just about the rich avoiding tax wasn't it? All this about taking back control, sunlit uplands, boom times and cheap food and cheap fuel was bullshit.

"There’s a strong case for reintroducing lynx to Britain. Without large predators, deer populations have exploded, compounded by the breeding of red deer for shooting, as well as the introduction of non-native fallow, sika, muntjac and Chinese water deer."
