Said with the right accent, there’s hardly any difference between “lawyer” and “liar”.

As a teenager, I did try growing a few I’d collected. But nowadays many garden centres sell them. As a writer of a county flora, it’s an honour to now be able to communicate data on the distribution of our county plants, including these wonderful plants. #Derbyshire

As a professional biologist, spent 18 yrs collating data to publish a “Flora of Derbyshire”. Still wanting to grow these wonderful plants just for the delight of seeing them flourish.

Contacted Penang Nat Hist Soc to ask where I might find Nepenthes. Frustrated when they replied “you have to know where to look for them” But delighted to find them on our own. Wow! Tried growing various species at home, but not very skilled.🪦 Love seeing Drosera & Pinguicula on UK hills. 2/3

I’ve been fascinated by them since a teenager. Encountered D. rotundifolia on the fells of the English Lake District, aged 17. Wow! Did botany at Exeter Uni 1976-79. Wanted to study them as a student project, but no staff had expertise to support me. Moving on…and, aged 40 in 1998, went to Malaysia

Just as Saint Nige thought it was safe to reappear, along comes pesky ITV | John Crace
How dare the channel reveal more racism and bigotry within Reform just as he was planning a press conference?

Once again… This is not a vetting problem. This is a Reform problem. This is a Farage problem. Only grim losers like this are going to sign up to a racist, misogynistic, extremist, mass-deportations and tell-the-Royal-Marines-to-murder-people-at-sea kind of party. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

Over Bolsonaro's four-year term, an estimated 45,586km2 of the Amazon was destroyed, an area bigger than the size of Denmark. His son may now finish off already much weakened Amazon that will impact every living being on the planet www.dw.com/en/brazils-e...

Brazil's election results could shape the Amazon rainforest and climate around the world
Brazil is heading back to the polls, but the impact could be felt worldwide. With the Amazon vital to the health of the planet, the election could help shape its future.

Not necessarily. Wild Justice has made successful legal challenges to DEFRA which forced new interpretations and regulations on pheasant releases without needing new laws. But more are needed. Interesting article on pheasants here: www.birdguides.com/articles/com...

How much damage does the non-native Common Pheasant cause to Britain's ecosystems – and would they even persist in this country without annual mass releases? Our columnist ponders a contentious specie...

“It's no longer a battle between Left and Right. It's a battle between civilisation and destruction” says Liz Truss 🥬 So clinically dim that by saying it she’s equating the Left with civilization and Right with destruction.. Which perversely is the first time she’s ever been right about anything
