REVEALED: only 5% of Forestry Commission grants for woodland creation have been spent on the natural regeneration of trees, while the remaining 95% is spent on tree planting. The government needs to change the rules. My FOI request & comment in the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Government ‘failing to support natural regeneration of trees in England’

Campaigners say targets for woodland creation are unlikely to be met because 95% of grants are for planting

Trump administration officials have fired workers for the main American aid agency who were sent to Myanmar to assess how the U.S. could help with earthquake relief efforts, people with knowledge of the actions said.

Trump Administration Fires U.S. Aid Workers in Quake Zone in Myanmar

The move comes despite Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying the U.S. would still do some humanitarian work while shrinking foreign aid. Democratic lawmakers have denounced the cuts.

The Lib Dems suggested tripling the Digital Services Tax, which US Companies like Amazon, Apple and Google pay. It is the only tax they pay in the UK, and it is almost entirely on US companies. It's a great idea, and targeted against Donald Trump's biggest supporters.

1. Infuriatingly, here in the UK, the government still seems to believe that the only way of introducing trees is to plant them (see, for example, the current Land Use Framework consultation). News just in: trees can self-seed, which could be why they've survived for 360m years. 🧵

About bloody time Ireland did the same and imposed an all year round ban on burning land for sheep. In an era of climate and ecological breakdown, this barbaric practice has *no* place in our landscapes.
