If you're taking part in #Veganuary this year, be grateful that you're not doing it in Tudor England, when even the candles were made of animal products...

We found a number of candles on the Mary Rose, made of tallow, or beef fat. Wonder if they worked like scented candles?

We are not free under capitalism. We need to fight to earn our freedom. We don't know what freedom is yet.

#Farage is great at protesting but not at planning, at complaining but not coordination, at criticism but not consideration. For years he led the cry for #Brexit bur never had a plan Then the Brexiteers went to negotiations with nothing. No plan, no purpose, no clue. #RejoinEU, not ReformUK.

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

I can successfully articulate only two phrases in an Australian accent: ‘It’s got a bouquet like an aborigine’s armpit’ and ‘Can you tell what it is yet?’. Hoping to build on my repertoire. (Inny suggistions?)

England High Streets lacking butcher, baker or grocery shops, have betting shops, casinos, gaming centres, slot machines.

Local councils can't stop them, People's views ignored.

Addiction, poverty, mental health problems follow.

Industry makes profits, doesn't bear the social cost of its trade.
Do you have a high street full of gambling shops breeding poverty and addiction? I have a way to fight back | Dawn Butler
Communities feel powerless because the law gives betting firms the upper hand. But a simple change could transfer power to the people, says MP Dawn Butler
