Dystopian and evil. How can we accept this ? @teamlabouruk.bsky.social The UK Govt is out of step with public opinion. Israel are exterminating innocent people in Gaza. Starmer is appeasing this.

We've been conditioned to think forests should be neat and tidy, but that's parkland: a domesticated version. REAL forest ecosystems are wild, tangled, and unruly.

We celebrate the bull, believed to have escaped from an abattoir, that ran loose in Birmingham, yet almost everyone participates in the cruel and grisly trade in body parts which keeps abattoirs in business.

No one who cares about wildlife and ecosystems is now likely to vote Labour in 2029. Or about Gaza. Or poverty. Or inequality. Or international aid. Or corporate power. Or democratic reform. Or racism. Or trans rights. So that's goodbye to just about its entire vote. What are they playing at?

Stop worrying about bats and newts? No Rachel Reeves MP – start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on. Nature isn’t a blocker; it’s the foundation of growth.
Screenshot of a BBC Politics tweet shows Chancellor Rachel Reeves speaking at a podium during a live broadcast of her speech. The quote at the top reads, “We are reducing the environmental requirements placed on developers when they pay into a nature restoration fund… they can focus on getting things built and stop worrying about the bats and the newts,” as she addresses the audience. In the background, there are large screens displaying the live stream of the speech, with a banner at the bottom reading “Kickstarting Economic Growth.”

Just 1 teaspoon of neonicotinoids can kill 1.25 BILLION bees. Yesterday, over 1 million voices told the UK Government: stop allowing banned pesticides in our countryside. DEFRA, it’s time to end ‘emergency’ use. Protect pollinators vital to nature's recovery & our food security.
A vibrant close-up of a bumblebee feeding on a bright purple thistle flower. The bee's fuzzy black body is adorned with distinctive yellow-orange bands, and its delicate wings glisten in the light. The thistle's spiky green base contrasts sharply with its soft, spindly petals, which are dusted with pollen. It highlights the vital role of pollinators like bumblebees and butterflies.
