Good news! Amended Scottish legislation provides for licence suspension/revocation where 'relevant offences' (wildlife crime & animal welfare) are committed outside the licensed area, if they're connected to grouse moor management. #RaptorResearch raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/03/26/l...

Revealing who owns England just became Government policy. Here's my blog post analysing this historic moment, as well as assessing some of the other ambitious policies unveiled in the Government's new Land Use Framework: whoownsengland.org/2026/03/19/r...

The best way to clean up our politics, free it from actual and perceived influence by people with money - is to ban all donations. And fund our politics from public money. novaramedia.com/2026/02/19/b...

As Tees Valley mayor Lord Houchen's defence of his deal with local businessmen crumbles, here's the Eye's recent special report on how Britain's flagship regeneration scheme secretly turned into one of the biggest giveaways of public money on record. ➡️ www.private-eye.co.uk/special-repo...

Hi everyone, if you get a spare mo could you help my son out by answering his university dissertation survey on social media use. Only takes a short time and any help would be appreciated. Here's the link and QR code. app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/glos/surve...

Please watch & share this footage of 2 lovely guys (faces clearly captured on CCTV) who just stole my bag from under my chair, bending it like Beckham in what is evidently their signature robbing move. Maybe it will be shared widely enough they don’t get to do it to anyone else. Stay safe out there.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

This Government once vowed to be “the most nature-positive [we have] ever had”. Months of blaming wildlife and stripping back protections have already made a mockery of that promise. And if the rumoured cuts to BNG go ahead, it will deal yet another devastating blow to nature.

Just added some of these #Detectorists Danebury Gothic prints to my shop. www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

Sorry, this is from the other place. Can you imagine the uproar from the right wing press if someone had died in the back of an ambulance because Just Stop Oil or Extinction Rebellion had blocked the roads? But when it’s greedy farmers who don’t want to pay the same tax as the rest of us … nada!

Such a tranquil place and a haven for wildlife. This should not be happening. Please repost :-) www.ywt.org.uk/news/derwent...

❌ Wildlife protections are under attack. The Government wants to change the law to make it easier to brush aside nature in the pursuit of growth at all costs 🏗️ 👉 Take our simple e-action to make your voice heard: bit.ly/4qrc0ei

🔔 Nature is at risk, but your voice can help. The Planning Bill is nearly law. An amendment passed by the Lords yesterday offers vital protection - but it needs MP support to stay in. 📢 Tell your MP: please back Amendment 130. wtru.st/49ch28z

Please email your MP, this is existential.

Evertonian, Arteja Folla needs your help. Trafficked into modern slavery from Albania by a criminal gang, she has made a life in Liverpool and now she faces deportation back into the hands of the people who trafficked her. Ari is a lovely, thoughtful and compassionate woman, who I know personally.

Nathan Gill, Reform's leader in Wales at the last Welsh parliament election, has pled guilty to 8 bribery charges, taking Russian cash while he was one of Nigel Farage’s MEPs to speak in favour of Putin's Russia in that parliament www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...
