My cousin, Rod Wilson, died yesterday aged 83. He didnt want any fuss after his death so this is me celebrating his life because every dear person deserves a mention. Largely self taught, kindness and generosity were just two of his qualities. A life lived quite well.
Stonking winter walk with Andy and Sophia from @LeicsWildlife this morning. Perfect antidote to January blues
All makes perfect sense. Hope someone @mhclg is on it
🧵 1/8 Yesterday was a good day for housing. Lots of steps forward - although the number that were really just 'reversing decisions' is sobering. As a statement of intent @AngelaRayner has emphatically shifted the agenda. Here's the 'but'
As ever @KeivnClimate is succinct and to the point. Is anyone out there listening?
At this time of circular arguments, this seems to be a positive piece of good news
Today the #CSDDD was agreed on in the EU and we have yet another reason to celebrate the progress made to end forced labour 🎉💪

Waited in all day for important package promised by @RoyalMail then got this online- it’s a lie. You did not. Come on @RoyalMail and treat your customers with some respect
If @FT story is correct then further evidence that @RishiSunak is leading a Govt that is utterly out of touch with the lives of people

Gently pushing back on @grantshapps assertion of BBC bias in the Gaza crisis @MishalHusain showed her great professionalism while he ducked and dived as usual Proud of my national broadcaster #r4today
Israel is telling everyone in north Gaza - about 1.1 million people - to relocate to the south of the Strip in the next 24 hours.
@MishalHusain asks Defence Secretary Grant Shapps if the UK government supports that order.

The #CEBill is the nearest thing we have to an actionable response to the systemic climate & ecological challenges we face. Good governance needs full & active engagement of its citizens, so please put pressure on your local MP to support the #CEBill
Ahead of #IYD2023, @frias_daphne, @domipalmer, @toritsui and @gunaguv call on you to join the Zero Hour campaign—back the Climate & Ecology Bill—and help us secure a liveable future.
It’s time to lock the science into law. Back the #CEBill.

Rare treat @PhoenixLeic showing the great #Oppenheimer in 35mm Forgotten how warm and involving film can be when viewed in this supposedly obsolete technology. Loved the atmos.
#Oppenheimer is now playing in theaters. Get tickets now to see Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., & Florence Pugh on the largest screen possible.

A short read providing context to @RishiSunak feckless &cowardly backsliding on green issues. It’s not that he’s for/against green policies, as such leadership would require integrity, cogency &courage, characteristics our PM severely lacks. @marcsrhudson
