John Clare Cottage is the birthplace of John Clare—one of Britain’s greatest poets and an important early environmentalist.
The cottage, a fabulous place to visit, is in urgent need of repair and we need your help now.

Deaths and serious injuries of e-scooter riders are increasing steadily. Please don't buy a child a lethal gift this Christmas.
Time to wake up to the insidious poisoning of all our lives from this silent killer.
Action now: Politicians, and policymakers need to work more tightly together to translate air pollution evidence into air pollution action. #Liverpool @lpoolcouncil @BarrySheerman @cleanairdayuk @MumsForLungs bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-me…

"We started by asking a fundamental question: “What is the air quality at home like for all of our patients who receive care at our hospital?”"
Interesting look at how environmental data is helping children receive healthcare. #AirPollution

Just a tiny number of the things we owned and the recent Tories sold off

Hello @elonmusk - any chance you could take time out of your @KamalaHarris trolling to take a look at this 🧵 and ask whether you are doing enough to stop your platform being used by far right extremists to use lies and conspiracy theories to spread hate and create violence? Or do you get your kicks off this stuff?
🧵1/ Thread on the #Southport anti-migrant and anti-Muslim disinformation and propaganda. In this thread I highlight key spreaders of disinformation, the chronology, and some points about some of the inauthentic activity evident. I will focus on X.

The people of Southport are reeling after the horror inflicted on them yesterday.
They deserve our support and our respect.
Those who have hijacked the vigil for the victims with violence and thuggery have insulted the community as it grieves.
They will feel the full force of the law.

Keep pushing Paul!

“The sacred cause of this country is larger than any one of us.”
Joe Biden has stayed true to these words again and again over a lifetime of service to the American people. Thank you, @POTUS.
We must together stop “the knock on the door” when someone you love has been needlessly killed @PACTS @ICORSI_Global
With important and essential sensitivity … 😔
This weekend we saw ten deaths from road collisions in traumatic and stark circumstances. I make no comment on the specific crashes, out of respect.
I simply point to 2 connected things: the human tragedy and heartbreak of road trauma and death, and the fact that Britain has no national strategy and plan to stop road death. Yet!
The last ‘road safety statement’ expired on 2021.

It's the first full day of our campaign, so I'm heading up to Wilmington, DE later to say "hello" to our staff in HQ.
One day down. 105 to go. Together, we're going to win this.
