So let me see if I've got this right. @Southernwater who sold off 35 reservoirs in just five years making £26 million in the process, who leaks about 34 billion litres of water per year from their badly maintained, underinvested, creaky old network of pipes is telling customer to stop using water, to ration it. Well that's alright then. thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

People think animal-free diets are extreme. But what’s really extreme? Cutting baby pigs’ tails off without pain relief. Gassing them alive. Slitting throats by the billions. It's not extreme to be against this, it’s just refusing to keep normalising animal cruelty.

• @sand.y0786 WHEN A HUMAN IS HARMED, WHY DO WE SEEK REVENGE ON THE VOICELESS? In Karatay, Turkey, an innocent puppy had his ears cruelly cut off after a child was injured—despite the pup not being at fault. What does it say about us when our response to pain is to inflict more

APPLICATION TO OVERTURN THE KILLING LAW IN TURKEY HAS BEEN REJECTED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT!! 💔💔💔 Hell has broken loose in Turkey! This is the moment we have dreaded for months!! Dogs will be massacred in their masses now! I can’t express how I feel, just don’t want to live with so much pain anymore!! 😭😭😭 @RTErdogan @MeldaKelemcisoy #Turkey

What if it were in reverse?

Labour thinks they are losing ground to Reform bc people are anti-immigrant. They are wrong People simply need someone to blame for life being so hard just now Reform hands them immigrants Labour should hand them greedy corporations and oligarchs! theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/m…

Look at these adorable badgers! Some people believe they should be culled, even though it's ineffective at stopping the spread of bovine TB. Help end it 👇 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7003…

We think gas chambers are a thing of the past. But most pigs in the pork industry are killed in them. They scream, thrash, and suffocate as CO₂ gas burns their lungs. And it’s labelled ‘humane.’

They're just babies 🐣

Everything was taken away from them💔

@PaulBrandITV Have they though? The Mike Amesbury debacle and the Winter Fuel Allowance meant this was always going to be a really tough job for Labour ..and that’s before you consider the non stop coverage of Reform by the media. Do not underestimate the abject hatred by so many for Reform.

The challenge now for @Keir_Starmer is to counter @reformparty_uk not by imitating them but by eloquently explaining why this toxic bunch of unprincipled and prejudiced carpetbaggers is morally, practically and historically wrong for Britain. We are not Trumpland.

The sad story of Maisy the #dutch #dairy calf 💔 Maisy was like all dairy calves taken from her mother straight after birth She was put in solitude for weeks Because Maisy was a good girl she can stay on the farm while 70% of all calves are deported and slaughtered very young Maisy will be enslaved like her mother to replace her or other mothers who are sent to the slaughterhouse Her children will be taken from her as well And so the cycle of abusive slavery starts again 😢 #DitchDairy #GoPlantbased #LiveVegan 🙏 *this video was made with different music as propaganda by a dairy fHarmer in the #Netherlands It is a death industry..no slaughter no dairy

If your ‘food’ is trying to escape from you, that is an indication that they are not food, but victims.

A chicken isn’t ‘meat.’ A cow isn’t ‘beef.’ They aren’t products, they’re lives. They play, bond, feel fear. But we rebranded them into packages, industries, and profits.

⚠️The Amazon's powerful ability to regulate climate is under threat ⚠️ Illegal mining and industrial-scale agriculture are cutting and burning down vast areas of forests for a quick profit. Demand global leaders #RespectTheAmazon @Greenpeace act.gp/4bWj6k4

At the end of Louis Theroux's documentary he has to hide from the IDF as they are hunting Palestinians and he suspects they might kill him too. Theroux says, "Can we ring the Police." And the Palestinian laughs, there is no one who will protect them from Israel.

@ITVNewsPolitics For balance, may we now have four more doorsteps being filmed where doors were slammed when the other candidates knocked or are you pushing a narrative here on Labour's unpopularity with the voters?
