5 bills have become law today! The removal of the 2-child cap on benefits! The removal of hereditary peers from the Lords is law! The measures in the Nov 2025 Budget are law! The 2026/27 spending plans are law! The extra financial support for exports is law! Well done Labour!

Salmon farms release record levels of cancer-causing chemical into lochs “Salmon-farming firms use formaldehyde as a disinfectant to rid fish of parasites, fungi, and bacteria, but the chemical was classified as a carcinogen in 2016 by the UK Government” There is no upside to salmon farming - bad for salmon, our health and the environment thenational.scot/news/25948420.…

Not a study, not a survey - but the actual live data from every @OctopusEnergy Cosy heat pump installed in real homes is now online. And it shows that over 80% of Cosy heat pumps were cheaper to run than a gas boiler over the last year and delivered a COP of 3.7 over the whole year (about 4.3x more efficient than a gas boiler) There’s so much disinformation from fossil fuel lobbyists on heat pumps - and anecdote based on bad installs or out of date tech - but we hear time and time again how much Octopus customer la love their heat pumps. Cosy heat pumps can run as hot as a boiler (70C+), can often be installed with no radiator changes and no new insulation, work with microbore piping, can often retain your old hot water tank if you have one. But so much more - comfort sensors in up to ten rooms, optional remote support and servicing, software updates to literally make your heating better without a visit. Effortlessly working with smart tariffs to save money. British designed, British manufactured and thousands of great British jobs. Helping insulate Brits from the last gas crisis, this gas crisis and more to come. See the data for yourself: octopus.energy/cosy-heat-pump…

@BenGrahamUK Because it’s an example of capitalism at its finest. Absolutely fucks services. And now needs bailing out. Would be a v good use of Gov money to now buy & run them independently, as they’ll cost FA.

NCP has gone into administration. They’ve been running car parks since 1931, and somehow ended up £305m in debt. Surely the maintenance for a car park is simple: ticket machines, barriers, lights, and occasional cleaning. How can a business model literally based on people paying to park go bankrupt?

@BenGrahamUK Likely competition from councils running car parks losing rate payers money.

FTSE 100 giant Unilever has confirmed it is in discussions to sell off its foods division, which includes iconic brands like Hellman's and Marmite. Shades of Cadbury. Hope they don’t fiddle with the recipe. Dairy milk ain’t what it was.

@LoveGrowingVeg And it’s the same fate for blue tits we had nine in our camera nest box last year. Sadly watched them die each day. And then there were none :( Guess we would be knee deep otherwise. Having too many is a breeding strategy.

The circle of life. Found these dead bumblebees on my usual walk around the farm. On a stretch about 20 metres long by some willow trees. Their abdomens are hollowed out and consumed by blue tits I think. It’s sad but happens every year. Still enough survive to repeat the process next year. Natures way 💚

@SeddSezz You all should know by now. Labour always have and always will leave a mess. Reeves is breaking the record. 14 yrs they crow. Black hole they lied It will take a lifetime to balance the books after this country throws out Labour.

🚨Reeves borrows MORE THAN EXPECTED to pay higher debt costs Government borrowing reached £14.3 billion in February, nearly DOUBLE the OBR’s forecast of £7.4 billion! The OBR and our Chancellor alike don’t have the first clue what’s going on! Our economy’s a mess and their answer is to balance the books with higher taxes rather than more efficient, targeted spending. REEVES IS A HEADLESS CHICKEN AND SO ARE GOVERNMENT QUANGOS!

On BBC Question Time, @Helen_Whately just said ‘we can’t afford Net Zero’ . She is a human health hazard and grossly misinformed or lying . Time to call out the lunatics leading us to hell . No facts , no truth , no integrity - no hope.

@LindaPears87262 Funny? Nothing funny about the worst ever government in British history. We can’t stand more of this charade. Labour are set to leave their biggest ever mess.

I think Kier Starmer is the best PM we have had for decades. Strange that so many say he's made mistakes/he's not perfect. When did those commentators ever say tory PMs made mistakes? You know tory governments that make ordinary people poorer & rich people richer. FUNNY THAT
