Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

Oh blimey, here we go again. Time to vote in the National Trust AGM to keep so-called 'Restore Trust' off the council. Use the quick vote to ensure we don't split the anti-Restore vote. Or.... 1/2 www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

RNLI volunteers told not to wear branded clothing for security reasons. This is the country that Nigel and Yaxley-Lennon built. Shameful.

Water company profits are soaring as raw sewage is being pumped into our waters. The government must bring all water companies back into public ownership: end the unlawful dumping of sewage, and ensure profits are being reinvested back into fixing leaks and building new infrastructure.

I am heartened seeing young people's responses to Africa's size being more accurately depicted. To put it in perspective: In 1999, I boarded a jet in Johannesburg, South Africa and flew north for 10 hours at around 450 mph; we landed in #AFRICA. The jet ran out of fuel before it ran out of Africa.

However big you think Africa is, it's bigger than that. Go to the bush, and you can see stars from horizon to horizon. On the plains, you can't even sense where the continent ends. For reference, driving across the U.S. would take you 4 to 5 days. In Africa, If you started on the West coast of Mali, headed toward Egypt, after 4-5 days, you'd still be in the Sahara.

This still doesn't get it right, and some shapes are distorted, but it's closer. Africa is still bigger than this.

Just want to point out if people had been beaten up at the Green or SNP party conference and their leader had cheered it on. It wouldn't just have been on TV, it would have been on TV non-stop until the election. But for Reform, it barely got mentioned.

Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns

Technically, humanity is capable of bringing global temperatures down, but the political will to do so will be lacking if the rise of the far right continues, as it is precisely those parties that deny humanity’s role in this. We will therefore have to expose the lies of climate change deniers.

There should be no left right centre now. The choice is binary: Progressive, Liberal Democracy & Human Rights Vs. Regressive, Autocracy, Kleptocracy, Theocracy & suppression of Human Rights. That's the simple choice...there is no fence, no bridge between. #ProgressiveAlliance ASAP.

As we approach hosepipe bans in the UK, and possibly other restrictions, remember this is NOT due to the heatwaves, nor drought. It is a supply failure caused by lake of investment in infrastructure, like reservoirs and repairing leaks. Short term shareholder profit rather than public utility

Today I joined Right to Roam and 400 people today in a mass swim trespass at Kinder Reservoir in the Peak District. The event was in commemoration of the anniversary of the Kinder Scout Mass Trespass, but with a very modern & pressing issue of access.
