Thanks so much @seascotland.bsky.social for giving me a chance to talk about my love of the ocean and how we should be looking after our local marine spaces! 🌊

This record of failure shows water regulation in our country is broken. Water companies are getting away with polluting our rivers on an industrial scale and face little more than a slap on the wrist.

Unbelievable that bottom trawling is still allowed in the UK’s marine protected areas. It’s extremely destructive for marine life and should be banned in all MPAs #ocean www.theguardian.com/environment/...

And the embarrassment that is current #Dutchpolitics continues as the Govt falls because Wilders’ colleagues don’t want to implement his illegal and unworkable migration proposals. Guess what - right-wing populists making promises they cannot keep and then blaming others for their failure 🤷‍♀️

Teachers need to be given the tools and the time to do their jobs without burning out. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ten years on, we still feel the loss of Charles Kennedy. Charles was principled, kind and possessed an unmatched talent for connecting with people - he was a great friend and an outstanding leader. I know he would have been so proud to see his old seat back in Lib Dem hands.

The ban on disposable vapes starts today. Good news for our environment and, hopefully, the start of a turnaround on vaping numbers among young teenagers. Thanks to everyone who made this happen, not least @lesswastelaura.bsky.social who campaigned for this tirelessly. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
