Labour’s £28bn green investment plan could not only boost the economy, but also help tackle the cost of living crisis. I’ve just called on @Keir_Starmer to keep his promise to the UK public and to our planet. Join me? It only takes 2 mins! act.gp/42EKuyI

I’m furious that the Government has launched an #AttackOnNature. I care deeply about nature, so they don’t do this in my name. I’ve written urgently to my MP. Will you do the same? Follow this link to find out how. action.rspb.org.uk/page/1140…

The Mayor’s dad is pleased to see this!

I popped into my local @Tesco Express earlier on today, mainly because I couldn’t be bothered to hike it down to the big superstore like I normally do. I did my shopping & got to the checkout, where a lady was in front of me, packing her items. I unpacked my basket & waited. 1/n
