In every photo I see of Natalie Harp, she is smiling. She has a nice, warm smile, IMO. A Binky she may be; but she looks like a Binky who loves what she's doing. Contrast Vance, Hegseth, Miller etc who all usually look as though they hate every minute of their lives.

The UK government is placing adverts on television to inform the public of the vaccinations available free of charge from the National Health Service. How sad that this little corner of dusty old Europe doesn't have bold, progressive, far-sighted, wizened experts like RFKjr in charge of our health.

"And I do hereby declare that Count Binface is duly elected as Member of Parliament for the Clacton constituency." OK, I admit: that's just a dream. Still, at least the parliamentary enquiry into Farage can re-start as soon as he is re-elected.

If he had left fewer of us wondering whether that country was the UK or Israel, he might not have had to announce his departure today. Will Burnham condemn Israel's aggressions more clearly? He'll inherit the same sponsors I guess, so probably not. Bring back Union funding!

I don't like the idea of banning under-16s from using social media. They are not the criminals. It is unlawful for me to have sex with an under-16, whether I know their age or not and whether they lie about it or not. Social media operators could deal with the same, and IMO *should* deal with it.

Every hamburger, every unchecked logging operation, every unsustainable supply chain adds to the count. But every reforestation project, protected area, policy change, and conscious consumer choice reverses it. The science is clear. The solutions exist. What’s missing is collective urgency

Destroy the forests and you don’t just lose trees. You destroy: • The air we breathe • The water we drink • The climate that makes life possible This isn’t environmentalism. This is basic survival biology. No economy survives on a dead planet. No “development” thrives in a wasteland.

When we burn our forests to farm: We destroy the soil,The heat kills microbes that make land fertile. After 2-3 harvests,the land is dead.We accelerate erosion - No trees = no roots.Rain washes our topsoil away in one season. We fuel climate change -One hectare burned releases up to 200 tons of CO₂.
