🦺 Louise, 24: “I'm here because I don't have a future. You might hate me for doing this, but I wish you would direct all that anger and hatred at our Government. They are betraying young people like me — I wouldn't have to be here if they did their duty.” #FreeLouis #FreeJosh

Ha ha ha. Then you haven't been paying enough attention. It's not a crisis, it isn't catastrophic, the world isn't going to end, we're not all going to die/drown/burn. The hyperbole is not backed up by the actual data. Computer models are no substitute for real world facts.

As #5to2 or #intermediatefasting is all over the media again, I feel I need to speak out and tell my personal experience, to warn others of the problems that can arise from #eatingdisorders 5 years ago, I decided I wanted to lose some weight. I wasn't heavily overweight but some

I have now found my way back into healthy, regular eating and lost most of that extra weight without ever thinking diet or forcing myself into anything, but it took me 2 years to understand what was going on.

Please, if you're unhappy with your weight, think twice what you are doing with your body. Losing weight is not worth it if you create new, bigger problems with it. You are wonderful and loveable as you are. You don't have to torture yourself to fit somebody's ideal.

Let's play a game. Two young @JustStop_Oil activists, understandably furious & terrified the adults have set their future on fire, throw soup over the glass covering a venerable old painting. You're OUTRAGED and think there are better ways to raise the climate crisis alarm...

I see this as the most important of all issues: the collapse of the Earth systems on we and all the living wonders with which we share this planet depend. It is happening in front of our eyes, and it should dominate the news everywhere, every day. theguardian.com/environment/…

Animal populations experience average decline of almost 70% since 1970, report reveals

Huge scale of human-driven loss of species demands urgent action, say world’s leading scientists

More Londoners are choosing to walk & cycle, but short-term funding deals forced @TfL & boroughs to pause spending on some permanent schemes. With funding agreed, I’m delighted we're restarting work on vital schemes & starting design work for the next generation of new projects.

In ONE journey yesterday, I met all three: the roller, the squeaker, and the lunger. Have a look. And be careful on your 🚲 around these clowns! FAO @MikeyCycling @DawnNeesom @DavoodGhadami @xandvt @SherlocksSpring @ladygaga @betterstreetskc @MPSHammFul
