Hi @HelloFreshUK struggling to understand why this packaging wouldn’t be recyclable. It’s a bit sad that when I Google how to recycle your packaging I get Reddit threads and links to the US website. A bit of a disincentive tbh. Nothing obvious on your uk website

An important thread on why we need to better link trade & climate policy making. Coincided with yesterday's launch in the European Parliament of the netzerotrade.org report, introduced by @LaurenceTubiana & @samiraraf. Honoured to have chaired this event! #NetZeroTrade

Changing trade is essential to tackling climate change, and tackling climate change is integral to protecting trade. The current drought in the Panama Canal shows the vulnerability of global trade routes. 1/6

I made the following points: ⛔️ RoSPA research shows that 20mph zones cut child road injuries by over 50%. ⛔️ Future Transport have proven 30mph produces 40% more pollution than 20mph, without reducing journey times. ⛔️ Tens of thousands are dying early due to air pollution.

I’ll be on @RLGerrish’s @LBCNews show at 12:20 to talk about Rishi Sunak’s latest attack on transport policies proven to reduce emissions from our most polluting sector, improve air quality, and halve the chance of your children being run over by a driver on the way to school.

Whenever 20mph limits are implemented there is satisfaction from supporters but noisy outrage from those opposing. Myths arise which are patently nonsense and once implemented none go back to 30mph for residential areas. Well done Wales for doing #20splenty the smart way

Why do the umpires still have their brollies up? It’s stopped raining and they seem oblivious. They are the only two in the whole of Lords. Please someone explain #TheHundred

Wes - so disappointing - not just a rejection of fair voting system (which Labour members voted for) but failure to clearly call out Met Police arrest of anti-monarchy protesters - peaceful protest is a fundamental right & yesterday it was denied #bbclauraK

I’m now out of the police station. Still waiting for my colleagues. Make no mistake. There is no longer a right to peaceful protest in the UK. I have been told many times the monarch is there to defend our freedoms. Now our freedoms are under attack in his name.

Police broke their promise that our anti-monarchy protest could go ahead. They arrested Republic’s key organisers, confiscated Republic’s official placards, photographed us like we were criminals & erected barriers in front of our protest so the king would not see us #NotMyKing

Graham Smith of Republic says the police would not tell him and 5 others the grounds on which they were being arrested. This would therefore seem to be an illegal arrest. This government has *no* respect for the most fundamental principles of the rule of law.

Whatever your views on monarchy, arrest of anti-royalist campaigners for exercising right to peaceful protest is chilling. Many of us warned about exactly this when govt rushed thro the illiberal public order bill. This is not what democracy looks like inews.co.uk/opinion/most-d…

This is deeply shocking behaviour police, having explicitly told Republic they would facilitate peaceful protest. Worthy of Putin’s Russia. I don’t really think this is the sort of country that most of us want to live in regardless of stance on the monarchy

Police have arrested the leader of the anti-monarchist group Republic and several others as they made their way to the protest site ahead of King Charles's coronation 👇 Find out more 🔗 trib.al/feRNMaK #coronation
