This spring sees the release of a documentary about the fight to defend and extend access to nature in England and Wales. OUR LAND, directed by Orban Wallace and shot by Gallivant Film, follows the Right to Roam campaign as we trespass estates and challenge removal of rights on Dartmoor and beyond.

The Mandelson revelations might just be the tip of the iceberg. If he leaked government secrets once, we need to know if he acted in the public interest when negotiating trade deals with the US. Urge the PM to release all #MandelsonFiles act.globaljustice.org.uk/node/4714

I have tabled a motion in parliament, calling on Buckingham Palace to publish all communication which references the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Statements of support for victims of Epstein’s abuse are insufficient if crucial information is still covered up.

"While this plan is clearly better than the swinging cuts and mess we saw under the Conservatives, this is not the retrofit revolution Labour promised while in opposition." Read my full op-ed on the Warm Homes Plan here: www.insidehousing.co.uk/comment/comm...

US sec of state Marco Rubio, May 2025: “Today, the US welcomed the historic agreement [on Chagos]. Following a comprehensive interagency review, the Trump Administration determined that this agreement secures the long-term, stable, and effective operation” of the base at Diego Garcia.

"The forthcoming Elections Bill is the perfect opportunity for the government to introduce such a a measure." @electoralreform.bsky.social

"Fudge (Farage’s nickname) [was] nothing but a racist, antisemitic, obnoxious bully who would get the early train so he could polish his CCF boots before first bell; that’s about it. His response to the recent accounts of him at Dulwich doesn’t really make me feel he’s changed that much."

Scotland has enjoyed a Right to Roam for decades, supported by a detailed code of access that helps people enjoy nature responsibly. We hope to learn from this and create a new system of fair and responsible access in England. Why does a right to roam mean to you? forms.gle/kqw1WSJCBmEP...

The Enclosure Acts took away centuries of shared access to land, putting fences between people and nature. Securing the Right to Roam is about reclaiming the freedom to explore, enjoy, and reconnect with our countryside once again. Why do you support a Right to Roam? forms.gle/6q1uu2yf7ip3...

Target of racist slurs accuses Farage of emboldening ‘toxic environment’ online

You’ve seen the signs: ‘Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted’. They lie. In the UK ‘trespass’ is a civil offence, not a criminal one. You cannot face prosecution simply for being on someone’s land, off a designated Right of Way, open access land, or land where bylaws permit access, without permission.

Three more ex-pupils at school with Nigel Farage reject ‘banter’ claims

There are around 1,500 rivers in Britain, so the government’s manifesto pledge to create a mere 9 river walks is simply pathetic. Give the public a right of responsible access to all rivers & the wider countryside. Our @righttoroam.bsky.social trespass on BBC news: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🌀 Every river for everyone. 9 river trespasses are taking place over November to address the inadequate promise of the 9 river walks proposed by the Government last year.

Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal? PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece as a placard! (1/2)

Fascinating BBC story about Reform MP Sarah Pochin saying a local street is blighted by immigrations living in shared accommodation, only for locals to suggest this is bollocks. Political lesson: take on church wardens and sensible pensioners at your peril. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

People care what their pensions do and who they bank with. HSBC have ditched its climate commitments by leaving the Net-Zero Banking Alliance...so we ditched HSBC. You should too….our money plays a vital role in which way the world goes round.   www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Shocked, shocked I tell you!

In the meantime, we are trying to collect as much information on what is going on as possible. If you work for KCC or have knowledge of what is happening, I'd love to hear from you. My DMs are open or you can email me via ed AT kentcurrent DOT news Very happy to talk off the record...

Had some more clarity on what happens to #SWFC if/when they breach the 30-day rule, and - I think - it could be seen as *good* news… It’s not classed as an embargo, that’s for unpaid wages etc. What Wednesday will get is a ‘transfer fee ban’. More here: www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Hillsborough really needs investment, but must be careful what we wish for. New stadiums are rarely built to benefit fans. They can burden clubs with huge debt, suck cash out of cities that back them while pricing ordinary fans out, to line wealthy owners pockets www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...

We made David Blunkett laugh out loud by telling him he was the most liberal Home Sec ever - at least on drugs. He's the only one ever to downgrade the classification of a drug. Cannabis from B to C. Reversed by Alan Johnson of course, despite use actually falling.

Who could have predicted this?

We, we??

Is this a Nazi salute? From the new Private Eye, out now.

Still, opposing it did win the Tories the Uxbridge by-election and encouraged Rishi Sunak to slow down on net zero, so....

Safer drugs consumption facility in Glasgow used more than 1,000 times since opening

An ad put up at a bus stop in London today.

With the purchase of 70 acres of land for a new woodland/wetland in Bath coming any day, we’re about to empty out our coffers, and the £65k government grant for 20,000 of the trees we planted is nowhere in sight. Help @protect.earth stay afloat! https://www.protect.earth/act-now/general-donation

“They’ve seen me for years, they know what I am, they know I’m not going to take the ball off the goalie and skin 45 players to score - they know what I am, and I’m good at it.” Pato’s always good for a quote. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC

Thoughtful: @williamhaydock.bsky.social on opponents to Glasgow's Supervised Drug Consumption Facility trying to set an impossible bar for it to clear, so they can say it's failed if it doesn't virtually solve the national drug crisis on its own thinking-to-some-purpose.blogspot.com/2025/01/hopi...

I just chipped in to this crowdfunder to help create a community woodland, restore wetlands and repair rare calcareous grassland near Bath - a great project by Protect Earth, run by the unstoppable @philsturgeon.bsky.social: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/reforestat...

Beavers confirmed at the Warleigh (Bath) land Protect Earth is buying. Nibbled trees old and new, and one scent mount spotted. Thank you Beaver Trust! Excited to improve the habitat and get the beavers out of the river onto a new wetland they’ll be co-designing with us.

🚨Transform's top 10 drug reform moments of 2024🚨 It's been a momentous time as reform has continued to accelerated across the world. Here's a selection of Transform's top moments from another amazing year! THREAD / 🧵

UK to open its first safe drug consumption room amid soaring deaths Welcome news, tho political cowardice has caused yrs of delays, costing 100s of lives As @niamhrelease.bsky.social notes, it's "shameful these facilities are not being opened across the UK” www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Ban foreign nationals from making political donations in the UK via their corporate empires Or risk billionaires like this piece of shit having even more influence on UK politics www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
