'It should be a “wake-up call” for politicians still sceptical about cutting emissions'
Given the huge and ever growing weight of evidence, I do wonder what framing of the data will actually be a “wake-up call for politicians". I really hope this is it.

Is every V advocate worthy of hearing out? No, as is the case w any demographic there will be outliers and less than helpful takes. So please, take a moment to pause and think critically & thoughtfully when vegan activism crosses your feed.

Badenoch is so incredibly unpleasant. Her response is nothing but personal attacks and describing support for kids in poverty as "hand outs". Grim.

Did you know only 8% of England’s countryside has a right of public access? And only 3% of our rivers?
Sign this petition from @Right2Roam calling for access reform this election. We shouldn’t be shut out of our own country, or risk being told off for going for a swim! We need access for everyone.
