This is awful - and yet so easily fixed by a few simple changes to tax rules, to tax conifer monoculture properly while rewarding re planting of native woodland. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Migration is part of what makes this country great. We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours. The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

Reacting to Labour's devastating loss to the Green Party in Gorton and Denton, Keir Starmer claims that only Labour can unite communities. I agree. He convinced Muslims to vote for a white working class woman representing a party led by a gay Jewish man.

Does anyone recall who said, "If you don't like the changes that we've made, I say the door is open and you can leave"? Could it be posible that this sentiment is somehow linked with Labour's catastrophic loss? If only there were some adults in the room who could explain this baffling mystery.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

The Shire looking particularly beautiful this morning. ‘The foxes are making coffee’ as my girls now describe low lying mist.

A few sheep in a mist covered grassy field with the twisted shapes of a few bare old orchard and hedge trees. A wooded hill hangs above the mist with a blue sky and gleaming white clouds above.

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

A dandelion.

Yellow sunburst of a flower, its petals are long and thin, radiating out from a pointy closely packed centre. The petals are thinner and more rounded at the tips than yesterday's yellower flower.

Time to dive into the 2024 @ukbms.bsky.social results. Small Tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) had its worst year since monitoring began. This was also the case in each of the 4 UK countries separately. It’s had 10 below average years in a row now and has declined by a staggering 86% since 1976.
