So sad at 😢 appalling plastic pollution at lovely Camber Sands. Thanks to all those volunteers.

#Sikaiana, less than two square kilometres, is encircled by the sea and is home to just 300 people. It is also more than 200 kilometres from the main island of the #Solomon archipelago #ClimateCrisis news.un.org/en/story/202...

Is Farage a poor judge of character or does he deliberately choose to mix with fraudsters as well as with Russian agents?

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

The #British Library is an essential part of maintaining #British culture and heritage. It is in the heart of London and its workers need a pay increase not a pay cut.

Same or worse cuts as the Conservatives. Just different branding and more squalid and incompetent councillors www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is no way to treat our veterans Prime Minister. It’s now over a month since PM agreed on BBCBreakfast to meet with the nuclear test veterans (having kept them waiting more than a year to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition) & still no date offered by his office

This will impact EVERYONE. Combined with other anti-protest measures proposed like bans on face coverings, the Crime & Policing Bill will see the right to protest in the UK stripped to the bone. Protest is fundamental to democracy. We must protect it. www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/govern...

Congrats to 🎉the people of NY, New Jersey, Virginia and Georgia for standing up to Agent Orange.

Can't believe Farage actually thinks minimum wage is too high for young workers whilst he earns a fortune every hour for less work www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Ever more revelations about Tory corruption and how they ensured that £m of taxpayers money would go to the US to help get Trump into power bylinetimes.com/2025/10/31/d...

Nigel Farage, who has so far registered a total of £280,500 for four hours a month as a "brand ambassador" for a company selling gold bars, thinks a £10 an hour minimum wage for young people is too high bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

#Kyiv officially joins the world’s music capitals 🎶 📹Lviv choir “Homin” /How could I not love you, Kyiv of mine! (Yak tebe ne liubyty, Kyieve mii).Lyrical song written by Kyiv composer Ihor Shamo with lyrics by poet Dmytro Lutsenko, in 2014 the song became official anthem of Kyiv

A beautiful orange sunset that is much more relaxing to look at then the orange thing that’s coming up on 60 Minutes. Stare at this for 30 minutes. It will be much better for your heart and mind. #Photography

Thanks to Trump the US is U-turning on cleaner energy and cleaner transport whilst China fast-forwards on the same. Follow the fascinating roller-coaster on Canary Media www.canarymedia.com/subscribe-to...

Had an unexpected break in the rain so I went treasure hunting. #fungifriends

Haven’t seen this before. Do any #FungiFriends know what’s going on with the cap of this Amethyst Deceiver?

I really just can't believe that this boy Finch is a council leader. Pity poor Warwickshire if this is the best that the ruling group can find to lead them.

Wow. Power and shade for EVs all in one go.

Nathan Gill of UKIP was a Russian asset www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Brexit was Russian policy and we know that Russia helped to achieve it. Brexit was intended to crush us.

HuntingDON. It’s amazing the amount of time we spend pontificating on the geography of people’s parents, grandparents and great grandparents’ origins, while in complete ignorance of our own.

Well done train crew and police for such a quick response. My thoughts are with those who were injured and their families and all those on the train.

Our latest attraction in Skipton. Roleplay in a castle www.thehiddencastle.co.uk Only for children, no dressing up for adults 😥

Latest frame shows a near perfect hurricane with a classic "pinhole" eye. Only 9 Atlantic hurricanes have had stronger peak sustained winds (5 of them being from the past two decades). Great concern for #Jamaica.

Russian military deaths in the war with Ukraine are now estimated at over 135,000 - from Every Casualty Counts en.zona.media/article/2025...

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

There are two more Sundays left this year to enjoy a day out in the lovely Yorkshire Dales on the Summer Sunday DalesBus network, with double-decker buses on DalesBus 822 from Pocklington, York & Ripon & DalesBus 875+876 from Leeds, Ilkley & Grassington. All single fares £3 (£1 for under 19s).

Just visited fascinating exhibition Traces in #Skipton - artwork pieces based on our heritage at Craven Arts in Otley Street www.cravenarts.co.uk/current

Is literacy on the wane? My computer wants me to give up on writing and talk to it but I have so far refused. Read "How to Be Good" this week and laughed out loud on the train. #SupportYourLibrary #CelebrateLibraries

According to the FT the council in Kent controlled by Reform UK has concluded that local services are “down to the bare bones” after 15 years of Tory/LibDem austerity. That means Reform will need to raise council taxes in Kent if they want to buy more Union flags and pothole filler.

World Mental Health Day. The world certainly needs better mental health.

This is how the Russian Wagner Group hired British citizens to carry out an attack in London.

Economies should work for the people who keep them running not for billionaire misers who won't contribute a fair share. Join me and sign this petition, telling the government to #MakeThemPay for a fossil fuel phase out and a better, fairer society. act.globaljustice.org.uk/make-them-pa...

Sacking of #JimmyKimmel shows freedom of speech died in the USA along with Charlie Kirk who freely spoke out in favour of the right of US citizens to speak freely and to shoot other citizens. The MAGA groupies have now come out against freedom of speech and against the right to shoot others.

Farage protested at Europe but that went off the menu so he needed something else. He came up with immigration and potholes. But he happily embraces an associate of paedophile groomer Epstein. Why? Because the man is a wealthy climate-change-denier like himself and Tice.

Sometimes it's good to join a few friends and protest at our king welcoming someone who supports and encourages genocide and ecocide.

"We await the condemnation of this attack from politicians of all sides" say her friends after a woman was raped by two racist terrorists in Oldbury: well they will wait forever for Starmer, Badenoch or Farage. At least they have caught one of the bastards www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

I am horrified at the King entertaining Trump. He should have got Prince Andrew to do it.

Day in London tomorrow. Might just bump into a demonstration against that Epstein associate Trump. Odd how Prince Andrew is spurned by the royal family and Mandelson was sacked by the PM but the the royal family and PM then lay on a lavish reception for another Epstein associate.

Had to cancel due to the dreadful weather 😒⛈️

Sadly, only one person wanted to look at our lovely old school buildings on Saturday and hear about the three Misses Wimberley and their Ladies' Seminary.

Constant harrassment and thuggish attacks on Palestinians by cowardly Jewish settlers in the Jordan Valley without any adequate attempt by the Israeli occupation authorities to prevent it jordanvalleysolidarity.org/news/settler...

This is how the Israeli government behaves in the West Bank www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... . They let thugs and the IDF terrorise inhabitants who are not Jewish. Also ones who are like those in the Jordan Valley Solidarity group who don't support Netanyahu, apartheid or genocide.

On United Nations Day of Peace, Sunday 21st September at 2pm there will be a silent Vigil for Peace outside Skipton Town Hall.
