In response to @DrBrianMay's appearance on @BBCTheOneShow to promote "Brian May: The Badgers, the Farmers, and Me", where he dismissed peer-reviewed science on badgers and TB, AHDB's lead vet Sarah Tomlinson @sjtomo157 addresses the importance of sticking to facts.

Starmer has written in the Express that he will not restore Freedom of Movement.
Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored.
We were robbed of our right to live, work, study and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

It was lovely sharing my desert island discs with @laurenlaverne. From doing ward rounds on roller blades to dancing with friends in the 90’s; from bruises on the shins to estrangement; from discovering a passion for biology to the joy of hearing my children making music. I felt like I knew myself better afterwards. And I can’t believe she let me take my luxury!

On a plane from Nantes to London STN. The flight had been delayed for 2 and a bit hours and we have been compensated with enough water for a mouse (in other words sod all). Come on @Ryanair you can do better than this! Sort your planes out. #ryanair #ryanairfrance – at Bouguenais, France

The government has written off £9.9bn of the £13.6bn it spent on PPE in the pandemic due to it being unusable or having lost its value.
That’s 73% utterly wasted.
Please RT if you think everyone should be aware.
