.@ScotParl has voted to recognise mountain hares as a protected species, and therefore will put an end to Scotland’s mass scale mountain hare killings! This is HUGE! Around 26,000 mountain hares are killed to benefit the driven grouse shooting industry each year. #HareCare

These UN experts are right to warn Israel’s plan to annex parts of the occupied Palestinian West Bank would violate a cornerstone principle of international law.
It must be meaningfully opposed. The UK should make clear annexation would lead to sanctions.

Sticky situation, but we’re biting back. High demand during lockdown and a temporary reduction in yeast supply have impacted availability of some of our range. Not to worry, though, all our jars should be back on the shelves soon. #Marmite#LoveItorHateIt

If we left more verges and parks to grow wild, more people would get to meet our wild orchids, and I think that would be pretty neat, don’t you? 🌸

For the many kind people wishing me well here, today I did about 20 steps unaided with no zimmer or stick and about 40 steps with a stick - amongst other stuff. The exercise bike screen instructions have switched to being in French. No one knows why.
Thank you Everyone for all your kind messages of condolences yesterday and overnight, I'm so overwhelmed with your kindness.
I've carried TJ into the garden and I'm trying to make his final day special.
I'm on my knees sobbing my heart out at all your kind messages.
Thank you All
I’m proud to call the United Kingdom a friend of New Zealand, and am thrilled that we now have the opportunity to strengthen our alliance by negotiating a new free trade agreement. 🇬🇧🇳🇿
@tnewtondunn This must be a joke. What sort of fool, in the middle of a crisis, would think it a good idea to spend nearly £1M on repainting a plane? Hasn’t our PM got an advisor to avoid this sort of fiasco?
No10 confirm the PM's RAF Voyager jet is being repainted from military grey to national colours - and at a cost of £900,000. "At every stage, we have undertaken to ensure value for money". What's another million quid between patriotic friends when the deficit is now £300bn eh.
