- Good morning! Here’s a more candid shot of Rishi getting from A to B.
- Interesting despatch from farmer, Guy Watson @Riverford over on IG from Hungary showing abundance of tomatoes in Budapest supermarkets 'Producers now see the UK as a *customer of last resort* because they are such a pain in the arse to deal with.' Brexit bonus.
- Hi @GaryLineker 👋 Thought I would say ‘hi’ since I’m apparently joining you at the free speech barricades. Now I don’t actually work for the BBC but solidarity nonetheless! #IStandWithGaryLineker
- The story of how Natalie Elphicke got her seat ‘is a mystery’ according to this 😳😳😳 from Sunday Times. How is this a democracy?
- I’m sure I can speak for all Observer colleagues when I say that I am desperately sad that such an incisive and brilliant man has had to leave his job. Watching his trial by social media has been just awful.
- Apparently a Tory MP called Scott Benton has worked out the carrying capacity of the British Isles and declared the UK to be full. If we're operating then on a one in one out basis, can we swap him out for someone else?
- Why do we keep having to have ‘strong feelings both side’ debates on this? Plastic grass shouldn’t be on sale until the plastic grass industry comes up with a real solution for disposal, potential flood risk, micro plastic pollution and the fact that most British bees burrow.
00:00 - Replying to @Jacob_Rees_MoggI'm going to COP27 and I'm not paying £2000 a night. Neither are any of the climate youth leaders who are going to make sure that people like you (with incredible power and influence) are held to account. Do better.
- Manufactured migrants story leading front pages. Last intact ice shelf in Canadian Arctic collapsed yesterday, wildfires, record breaking temps and we are now likely to exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius increase in next 5 years. Still no coverage. #COVERCLIMATENOW #sohotrightnow-55,000 dead in Pandemic -Economy shredded -Unemployment about to soar -But look: migrants
- This is major from the RSPB, the UK's biggest conservation charity. There is overwhelming support for action on climate and nature destruction among UK citizens. There is zero mandate for a bonfire of enviro regs. We cannot and must not stand for this.
- As you might've deduced, I am W2 in the thread that the brilliant @JolyonMaugham has posted. Do read if you are interested in how hard it is to report sexual assault even at an institution like the Observer, part of Guardian Media Group that claims to be invested in #metoo etc
- For all those threatening to dob me in to my BBC bosses & get me fired from my presenting gig. I don't have one! Very rarely get a gig as a non news enviro reporter but I'm freelance. Neither do I work for the Guardian (keep up Guido!). Sad about both, but that's life! 💚🌎💚
- US and UK citizens are world’s biggest sources of plastic waste – study
