I've just read about your "cease and desist" instruction to Yaxley-Lennon in an article by Nadia Khomami in The Guardian. It's cringeworthy how these thugs are drawing on everything that is the antithesis of who they truly are to perpetuate their hatred. Keep doing what you do. Stay strong!

This has been evident for some time. The 3 MP's who had their trade envoy briefs removed all black or Asian. Racism has not been addressed in the same manner in the PLP as antisemitism. I'm not trying to equate two wrongs here but lack of allegiance with people of colour is worrying and damning

A class 710 Overground train that I brought in to Barking Riverside. The changeable weather and empty platform suited the choice of black and white for this phone shot. #b&wphotography #overgroundtrain #suffragetteline

I agree. Profoundly moving and an indictment of just how challenging it is to prove rape in the eyes of the law. A real testament however to the strength of this family, led by Dominique and Caroline speaking out with such clarity and resilience

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... The new refrain is "free speech" when in fact it's hate speech. They are looking across the pond for enablement and alarmingly it has some traction. We need a more radical alternative. Labour has been too equivocal. Where are we as a society? Years backwards

www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d... Just weeks after COP29 the stark reality is that developed nations owe a huge debt of aid and finance. That however is nothing to what we need to do to help stop climate change. We need to consider how our lifestyles are propped up by the misery of others and act.

Dense juvenile trees in Epping Forest. With leaf fall comes an awareness of the depth of the place. A feeling of enclosure but distance all at once. It's easier to spot the wild deer which we did a few times today. #eppingforest #leaffall #autumn #trees #forestwalks #naturephotography

Dense thin-stemmed juvenile trees in Epping Forest. The colour is in the bark and the leaves of the forest floor. With the leaves having fallen the eye is drawn ever distant through hundreds of trees and up to a glimpse of the blue sky

Industrial farming is choking our planet . Yet at a time when we should be supporting farmers to invest in restoring nature and transitioning away from destructive animal ag , the news that government have slashed wildlife-friendly budgets even further is just plain insanity . #Peston

Thanks Jack. We introduced a wildlife pond into our garden last year and I've started spreading algae skimmed from the top of the pond onto the garden as apparently it's quite nutrient rich. Our oxygenating plants proliferated as well so I've thinned out and added those to my compost too!

My training driving career just has a few short months left. I won't miss the crazy early starts but the views I've sometimes had from the cab have been extraordinary. Alas, I can't take photo's from there but I get to travel rear cab home sometimes and my unwind times have been special.

This is indeed sad. When we visited I was struck how the cafe area was used and enjoyed by many who may not have been up to exploring the whole reserve due to physical or other needs. It was so well set up for schools and other groups as well with the other facilities.

Whilst you are right Carole, Musk is a strange bedfellow of Trump. Narcissism and greed will last as long as it serves Musk's cause, but on environment, ev's and a few other things they are at odds. Big time. Like everyone who got into bed with Trump there WILL be a fallout - a bad one. Soon I hope.
