A lovely afternoon out at Brockhole Wildlife Trust on Friday. Despite its proximity to the M6, it was still a peaceful place to be. I think these two birds are nuthatches? Perhaps a twitcher can let me know - my bird knowledge is negligible!!

Reform and their media supporters are anti growth and very anti social mobility. They should be challenged on this frequently and directly.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

The thing about all these pieces complaining about Marine Le Pen's conviction is that not a single one of them bothers to explain why someone found guilty of embezzling millions of Euros from public funds should be allowed to get away with it

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards." Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

Big thanks to @restispolitics.bsky.social for Leading interview with Peter Malinauskas, for recommending +shoutout to Lancashire Libraries. I’ve learnt so much about the history of the Labour Party, WW2 as well as Clement Attlee. Very well researched and written (but a giant door stop of a book!!) 🤩

John Prescott was a politician both behind and ahead of his time. Considered too bluff and old Labour to reach to the very top in the 90s, today his authenticity and class credentials would have been perfect to fight Farage and populism. Labour needs more like him.
