On the same day in the Telegraph:

Congressman Jamie Raskin hands Nigel Farage his a*** on a plate Anyone in the UK care to plagiarize?

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with" JR then demolishes Farage, ending with "You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"

Spent last night camping in local woods. A lot of toads! #toads #uknature #wildlifephotography

This is predicted to be one of the most damaging windfarms for birds we are aware of anywhere on the planet. We support nature positive offshore wind, but this isn’t it. It’s a disaster in the making.

The illegal killing of our beautiful birds must stop. It’s good to see MPs will be debating this urgent issue on Monday. Thank you to everyone who's spoken up so far. We’re close to getting the change our upland wildlife needs.

The warning couldn’t be clearer. ⚠️ Slashing the nature-friendly farming budget would be catastrophic for the nature and climate crisis, and for our long-term food security. What's more, it would leave the UK Government’s credibility on climate and nature in tatters.

We’re calling on everyone who cares about nature: write to your MP now. Show them we won’t stand by while vital protections are ripped up: action.rspb.org.uk/page/159517/...

We’re not alone. We & the @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social are united in calling for Part 3 to be scrapped. Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Steve Reed, Angela Rayner, @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social The choice is yours. And it will be remembered by the millions of us who care about the natural world.

Labour promised to restore nature. ❌ Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it. We offered solutions. We’re done waiting. Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species. Without significant change, it must be scrapped.

Some sort of ruin in the woods with a sycamore growing from it. Possibly a building connected to an old, nearby railway that transported coal. #trees #photography #DerwentValley

Keir Starmer, your government promised bold action on climate and nature - but this isn’t it. ❌ It’s a move that risks tearing up our chances for a future where nature, people, and the economy thrive.

Hares - Gateway Anxiety. When you're out in the middle of the field you are in control of your destiny. When you pass through a gateway, life is more concentrated & complicated: Smells of dogs: foxes, stoats; humans; hares of the same sex; hares of the opposite sex, all need to evaluated... #hares

🦊 Boxing Day: A Celebration of Cruelty Every year, hunts parade through our streets, flaunting their so-called "tradition." It’s a disgrace that this barbaric practice is still legal. We need a REAL ban on hunting NOW!

Was lucky to get this close to a roe deer in the local woods last summer. #ukwildlife

Right now, foxes are being chased to exhaustion and torn apart by hounds—all in the name of ‘tradition.’ Boxing Day remains the biggest day of the year for the fox hunting community. Please RT to raise awareness and follow us to help end this cruelty for good.
