24 hours. Three different species saved from human-inflicted injuries. One weekend for our SWT/KWS Mara Mobile Vet Unit – treating a giraffe in a wire snare, a zebra with a deep arrow wound, and a bull elephant shot in his rump. For the elusive zebra, Dr Aminga even took to a motorcycle!

The Max Hooper, Ernie Pollard & Norman Moore experimental hedges at Monks Wood will be 65 yrs old next year. Planted as 1+ km of pure hawthorn in 1963, the aim was to see how long it took them to naturally diversify. They're still mostly hawthorn, but many other species have colonised.

Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Former Labour Deputy Leader Lord Thomas Watson, now Senior VP at Palantir UK, wrote to me defending their public contracts. Instead of trading letters, I’ve challenged him to an open, public debate. He can defend Palantir’s ethos; I’ll argue for public accountability. Will you accept, Tom?
Formal letter from Clive Lewis MP, Member of Parliament for Norwich South, to Lord Thomas Watson of Wyre Forest, Senior Vice President of Palantir Technologies UK Limited, dated 7 October 2026. In the letter, Lewis challenges Watson to a public debate regarding Palantir's role in government contracts and public institutions. Lewis rejects Watson's claim that criticisms malign software engineers, stressing that elected officials must scrutinize corporate power, democratic control, and public accountability. He proposes a debate with an impartial chair, equal time, and audience questions.

I’ll be really pissed off if Labour get in today. They’ve absolutely jumped on the bandwagon about the Zionist being racist motion and I believe they’ve entirely misrepresented it. I think the motion is unwise, but it pales to insignificance compared to Labour’s response to Gaza.
