We have TWO postdoc positions available in our research group at University of Cumbria! Human-predator-prey dynamics: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DSY109/p... This post will contribute to our ongoing research in Murchison Falls NP, Uganda, and involve satellite collar & camera trap data 🇺🇬🦁🦌

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Beautiful and incredible scenes from the centre of the Netherlands, a country with 1.5 times the density of people in the UK. A pack of 11 wolves roaming through the snow!

Which words have given you happiness this year? I’d love to hear them. (And if you fancy some distraction over the holidays, do give my word game Two Words a try. twowords2.page.link/play)

Some of the words that have made me smile this year.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "we have a govt that is always talking about tough choices. Why are they always tough choices for working class people, for unemployed people, for disabled people? It's time to make tough choices for multimillionaires and billionaires. It is time to tax the rich"

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform.... Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally. It's time for Proportional Representation. www.thenational.scot/news/2558507...

During my BSc at NTU, I participated in these surveys, collecting hedgehog capture history data in 2010 (and maybe 2009 or 2011, who knows it's that long ago! 🧓🏼). So it's pretty cool to go from collecting these data to assisting with the analyses all these years later! 😊

Our results showed that density declined over time & was spatially structured. As badger presence changed during the study, with a new badger sett appearing halfway through the study, we observed a density-weighted shift away from this badger sett, providing evidence for the landscape of fear.

Drought conditions continue in NW Province SA, and as such rodent densities very low. This years annual trapping did however catch a few of my favourite pouched mice, Saccostomus campestris
