    This should cheer you all up over a wet weekend. I’ve just launched Hugh’s Organic Wine Circle with 3 fantastic new wines I’ve created with pioneering wine-maker Vincent Chansault. Take a look. And please share! Cheers! 🍷Hugh 🥂x rivercottagewinecircle.net

    Anyone else been spending time this weekend desperately hoping for breaking news, or some gaffe, tweet or meme that unambiguously reveals to all just what a disaster it would be to hand Boris Johnson a majority on Thursday?

    I’m voting in the Honiton and Tiverton by-election today. And I’m afraid I’m going to break a pledge I made a year ago, when I joined the Green Party. I said I was fed up of voting tactically and made a commitment to vote Green at every opportunity. ⬇️

    So @Tesco say that they could remove plastic packaging tomorrow if it was the right thing to do. I think it’s the right thing to do. I reckon @itsanitarani thinks it’s the right thing to do. What do YOU think? #WarOnPlastic #OurPlasticFeedback

    Replying to @HughFW
    And so, with apologies to my friends in the Green Party, of which I remain proud to be a member, today I will be voting for the Lib Dems. I will not feel as good or as honest as I would voting green. But in a contest that could well go to the wire, I feel it’s what I have to do.

    Today 5 people who care about our planet have been viciously sentenced under laws that remove our right to peaceful protest. So I came to join those who stand in solidarity. We cannot put people behind bars for urging us to do what we know is right. #WholeTruth5

    The wrongest thing about Boris’ #LoveActually broadcast (apart from every single bit of it) is the suggestion that a hung parliament would be some kind of disaster, when right now it’s probably the best way to avert one, to head off extremism, and spread a bit of love, actually.

    The people of Welwyn Hatfield, constituency of so-called Net Zero minister @grantshapps, are waking up to these posters, which I pasted up in the small hours of the morning. If you agree with the message, please spread as widely as possible! #climatefight #onshorewind

    This is ABSURD. Solar power is rightly popular w/ the public who understand that it provides cheap, homegrown energy that brings down people’s bills. And solar SUPPORTS food production – providing a stable income for farmers helping them stay in business.
    Ministers hope to ban solar projects from most English farms

    Doesn’t it look just great when the #plastic is taken away! Who would like this to be something that all supermarkets do? #WarOnWaste #OnePlasticFreeDay #WorldEnvironmentDay

    I completely agree with @DaleVince and @ChrisGPackham👇🏼Sunak has doubled down on fossil fuels to make his mates in the industry richer while the rest of us go to hell. No doubt he hopes they’ll pay to rebuild his party when we vote them out next year. Let's never have them back!

    Sunak is breathtakingly dishonest. From his shameless claim that Starmer’s policy to stop drilling in the North Sea (entirely as per international scientific & political consensus) was bought by donations from an environmentalist, to his claims that his own rogue policies to

    Hi @Tesco, @sainsburys, how about helping us out and making loose fruit and veg cheaper than the packaged alternatives?! #WarOnPlastic @itsanitarani
