As business secretary Peter Mandelson conspired with leading US bank to end tax on bankers' bonuses. He told Epstein that JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon should “threaten” chancellor Alistair Darling over the tax. A year later, Mandy was seeking work with JPMorgan. Top journalism by @pickardje.bsky.social

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

The Spotflys are flooding in at the moment as they prepare to migrate. The paddocks at Northney are pretty reliable in late August to find Pied Fly and Spot fly. I found a Pied on Sunday and these two Spots yesterday. Also found a Redstart yesterday. #Hantsbirds

Little Owl this evening. It was waiting for me as I arrived. I was expecting a bit of a wait. I think it wanted to watch the sunset #Hantsbirds

Delighted to report that I spotted the first Ringed Plover chicks of the year inside our enclosure at Gunner Point on Hayling. As far as we know we have 6 nests. 5 inside the enclosure and 1 outside. Photos are all adult birds. No pics of chicks yet. #HantsBirds #RSPBEngland

Caught up with the Gropper at Fishlake this morning. Reeling it's heart out. I heard it from 50 yards away. I think you will agree that my phonescoped pic captures the full majesty of the lovely bitd. #Hantsbirds #Fishlakemeadows

As a 'non-togger' with a pretty basic understanding of photography and a standard bridge camera, I'm reasonably pleased with these shots of 2 different SEO's at #rspbbemptoncliffs yesterday evening. #yorkshirebirds

A couple of distant shots of the Least Sandpiper found by P Bowley at the Stilt Pool, Medmerry, Chichester. Hard going but was finally rewarded after a lot of searching. #UkBirding #sussexbirds

Spent a few hours at #RSPBmedmerry this afts waiting for a Least Sandpiper. Stood me up. Nevertheless, I got stonking views of a couple of Little Ringed Plovers. Even saw them mating. Can you believe i actually phonescoped this pic. The bird is clearly identifiable as an LRP. I know, incredible.

Those of you who haven't seen the Garganey at Posbrook Flood, Titchfield, I hope my digiscoped photo offers some small measure of compensation. He's a beauty isn't he?? #HantsBirding #Phonescoping

Volunteer patrol for #rspbpagham at #medmerryreserve this week and the bushes were alive with Linnet and Yellowhammer. Some of the male Yellowhammer were absolutely stunning. I phonescoped this one.

First Wheatear of the year for me at Farlington Marshes this afternoon. Always a portent of the coming Spring. Once again my phonescoping skills deliver a pin-point image to capture the happy occasion. #HantsBirds #HantsBirding

I took this phonescoped pic this morning of a Long Eared Owl on the Selsey peninsula. I know theres 3 birds around, but it was only when I got home and had a good look at this photo that I realised theres a second bird sitting to it's right. Never noticed the second bird through the scope.

I really thought I would never see a LEO. What a start to the new birding year.

I wouldn't say the Russian Whitefronts at Holkham, or the Fulmar at Hunny, or the Marshies at Titchwell, or the Hen Harrier at Titchwell made up for dipping the Shore Lark at Holkham, but it was very close. Back home to Hampshire tomorrow. Love Norfolk. I'll be back soon. #norfolkbirding

Just a few of the HUGE flock of Pink Foots I saw today as we drove between Wells and Blakeney. There must have been 2000 birds. They landed just up the road and we were able to pull up and get great views of them on the deck through the bins. Gob smacking. #norfolkbirding

#NorfolkBirding I will be in Titchwell for a few days next week. Can anyone direct me, from the car park on Lady Annes Drive, how to find the roped off area of beach where the Shore Larks have been showing at Holkham. Would be a lifer for me if they hang around. T.i.a.

Hawfinch found in West Sussex this morning. Quite distant so had to phonescope. Probably 8 or 9 birds feeding on Yew seeds
