Oh aye, wildlife on British coinage "is a denial of history", is it now?
A heap of farthings from 1941, all of them showing a rather evil looking wren. For clarity, that's the bird, not the Royal Navy's feminine side. Of course in 1941 the sort of person now trying to turn this into a culture war would be happier trying to change British coinage into something more... Reichsmark shaped.

Jenrick’s been on quite the journey from a one nation, Remain-voting Tory, through to frothing Brexiter and on to demanding that Royal Marines murder people at sea for daring to seek refuge here. All to impress the country’s racist losers and maybe get a few more votes. Christ he’s repulsive.

So, the treasurer of a party that hasn’t won an election in Scotland since the 1950s wants to build enormous data centres here. Conveniently far away from Tory voters in the south of England.

'Taxing wealth is important and popular. Taxing land is one way to do that in Scotland. How to get there is up to us.' Dr Craig Dalȝell, via Common Weal
commonweal.scot
How taxing land can help us find out who owns land — Common Weal
One of the barriers to creating a land tax in Scotland is the fact that our Land Register is incomplete and we don’t know who owns Scotland. Instead of seeing it as a barrier though, it may be an opportunity to compel owners to properly value and register their land.

Far too late and after so much unnecessary harm, a UK govt is finally where it should've been a decade ago. PMs & Ministers knew all along the harm they were causing and covered it up. How do we know? This thread @the-citizens.bsky.social and the links in it are only a small part of the evidence.

Johnson was PM in the middle of five successive Tory governments which interfered in investigations, buried reports and misled the British people. In my own worthless opinion, it was to the severe detriment of the UK and other European nations, and knowingly for the benefit of themselves and Putin.

There is something deeply indecent about institutions rediscovering the truth only once the people who pursued it have already paid the price. Carole Cadwalladr deserved support when it was difficult, not vindication when it became convenient.

It comes after years of cover-ups & denials not least from Boris Johnson who was in charge of MI6 as foreign minister at the time & whose first act as PM was to ennoble the Baron of Siberia. But it also went beyond Johnson & Starmer continued it too. We now finally need some sunlight. 2/

Brexit is forever tainted with disinformation, foreign interference, murky vested interests, ugly prejudice, unforgivable costs and now deep unpopularity. If you really cared about our country and wanted to fix its problems, you’d admit this… Good that Burnham is finally doing so…
