HG Wells is alleged to have remarked "Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race”. You could see this shocking chart as an index of civilisation. A country which gets this issue so badly wrong is likely to fail in many other ways.

The arguments trotted out against leaving fossil fuels in the ground are strikingly similar to the arguments trotted out against ending the slave trade, 230 years ago. 1. If we stop trading slaves / extracting fossil fuels, Britain’s economy will collapse 🧵

The proscription of Palestine Action remains one of the most politically stupid decisions of the Starmer government. There was no need for it. It gained nothing. It generated bad feeling and put hundreds of people into already overcrowded prisons.

Trees aren’t a nice to have: they’re a survival strategy. And it’s not enough to ‘plant & forget’ as happens too often in the UK (whereupon saplings die of thirst). They need watering and nurturing. A massive ongoing spend, but vastly worthwhile. The Woodland Trust is doing good work work on this.

Have you found yourself in the position of having a Reform councillor?

Here’s how you can help your brand new councillor settle into local government properly: email them this week with an actual council problem to solve.

Got rubbish piling up? Email them.

Bus vanished from existence? Email them.

Streetlights dead? Email them.

Care package delayed? Email them.

Pavement like the Somme? Email them. 

Send them in by the hundred.  Make sure they’re made very clear on what their job is.  

Being a councillor is not standing in front of the Union flag shouting about dinghies on GB News.  It’s reading committee papers at midnight, attending meetings nobody enjoys, holding surgeries in church halls, and dealing with the endlessly glamorous world of drains, social care budgets and recycling disputes.

Welcome to local government. 

The boats are in Kent. The bins are in your ward.

The email address for your ward councillor can be found on your local council website as soon as it’s updated.

Feel free to copy and paste to share wider.

Are you able to identify which bluebells are the native English variety and which are the more vigorous Spanish bluebell? This might help. Also, use your nose. The English bluebells have a sweet scent, whereas their Spanish cousins have little to no scent.
Two photos of bluebells posted side by side. They look very similar but text boxes and arrows highlight their key characteristics. 
The photo on the left is of English bluebells wth curved, droopy stems with flowers mostly on one side. The tips of petals curl back, the flowers are narrow and deep blue-violet in colour.
The photo on the right is of Spanish bluebells which are pale blue with wide bell-shaped flowers. Flower tips flare out and the upright stems display flowers on all sides.

Seventeen breaches of disclosure rules by Farage with exactly zero consequences. The excuse? He's far too busy, important, overwhelmed and confused by computers. This, however, isn’t a one-off failure - it’s a system that now treats confusion and busyness as mitigation rather than misconduct.
