We're going to be honest about problems & fair about decisions, claims Jeremy Hunt. So I look forward to hearing an honest assessment of the disastrous impact of #Brexit & a commitment to higher windfall taxes & to a wealth tax - not more costs for poorest #Kuenssberg #BBCLauraK

🌍 COP27 UPDATE: The richest countries most responsible for the Climate Crisis are blocking proper financial support for countries in the Global South suffering from climate damage. Anyone else think this stinks?

@charlesdowding Sorry for asking.

We have a government who have a visceral loathing of governing and government. They prefer to get straight down to the looting.

According to the BBC, Qatar, a country where women’s rights and gay rights belong in a different century, is reportedly the 10th biggest landowner in the UK. Heathrow, Harrods and the Shard are among its investments. Britain is a place where dictatorships come to wash their dosh.

Today, I confronted with UK 🇬🇧 Minister of Energy, Climate and Environment @ZacGoldsmith at #COP27. I asked him, "When will you release those jailed climate activists your Govt. arrested for protesting to stop new oil & gas license across UK?" He replied, "No idea" & run away!

@SteveBarclay @theRCN You’ve cut their pay by 20% while you’ve been in office. In that context, 17.5% is not massive, it’s entirely justified.

@robdelaney @theRCN I'm frequently in UK w/Brit partner, dealt w/NHS thru family members, it's amazing. After partner's knee surgery he just WHEELED out, no stopping to sign insurance papers, no bills coming for 6 months! I too tell people they have a treasure in NHS. Don't be US.

@robdelaney @theRCN Hi @robdelaney Huge thanks for your support. I'll join picket lines. As a young RN >40 yrs ago my salary enabled me to buy a house,car &holidays. We were valued & the stresses & responsibility was reflected in our pay. Now I weep for those using foodbanks & UC

I've added my name to a letter telling the Prime Minister it is time to protect nursing to protect the public. Will you add yours? Without nursing staff, there is no NHS. action.rcn.org.uk/page/113118/ac…

Support for the NHS can’t just be lip service or clapping or we will lose it. Get ready to give in-person, material support to our striking nurses. Follow @theRCN for actionable info: rcn.org.uk/Get-Involved/C…❤️✊🏼

@Nurseborisbash @Photo_Iain I have retweeted this whole long thread because some people have short memories or little understanding of what NHS staff went through then & now. You all deserve every penny of an inflation busting plus pay rise & the UK can’t afford not to give it. #FairPayforNursing #OurNHS

@charlesdowding Can you tell any difference in taste?

@DirtyGardenH0E Never easy but often worth it in the long run, if not straight away.

Emotional day today. Having difficult conversations isn’t the easiest thing to do but I’ve had 3 now since Friday and I’m worn out. Early night for me. Thank you so much for your support so far 🤍💗💛 #GardeningTwitter

One of the best things about my allotment is preservation for those colder months when you need pure comfort food. Nothing better than your own! #GardensHour #GardeningTwitter
