This is completely at odds with the science. @theCCCuk: Any increases in UK extraction of oil & gas would have, at most, a marginal effect on the prices faced by UK consumers. @IEA: No new fossil fuel exploration & development should take place from [2022]...to stay within 1.5C.

Today we are saying no to @JustStop_Oil and their political wing the Labour Party  We will power ahead with new oil and gas because it’s in the best interests of the British people, of our economy and of our national security

@APHAgovuk is currently offering a reduced price on staining of trichostrongyle-type eggs in faecal egg tests (FECs) to detect haemonchus sp. eggs. scops.org.uk/news/21259/sco…

***SCOPS post*** SCOPS is aware more flocks are experiencing problems with haemonchus (barber’s pole worm). It therefore draws attention to a special offer from APHA labs to carry out special FEC services to detect haemonchus eggs. 🐑🪱 More at ⤵ go.scops.org.uk/64mpXo
