Lib Dem pledge to cut fuel duty by 10p is depressingly bad policy: poorly targeted, expensive (£5bn), and it weakens incentives to switch to EVs and reduce usage.

I do like an inviting path! This is the old drovers' road on Adstone Hill, near the western side of the Long Mynd. These green walkways date back to medieval times and were used to herd livestock across the hills and valleys. I was there for a couple of hours and all I #Shropshire

The taiga is especially lovely right now: the sun warms the earth without scorching it. There is not a hint of frost—the air is filled with the scent of pine needles, decaying leaves, and damp soil. Amidst this blissful silence, porcini mushrooms grow in the taiga.

Many happy returns to the incomparable #KateBush born this day in 1958. She danced into our lives with her 1978 number one hit "#WutheringHeights" - based on the classic 1847 tragic #gothic novel by #EmilyBrontë, who was born this day in 1818!

At quite great expense and with much disruption Salisbury has turned the essentially canalis-ed stretch of the Avon that runs alongside the big carpark into something much more natural and it's a £35m You Can Have Nice Things triumph. It's also much less susceptible to flooding.
