Pale clouded yellow butterflies inhabit meadows, fields, forest edges, and other open spaces with an abundance of flowering plants.

excuse me but are you aware of Lennu, the Finnish president's dog...

You gotta love it. Belgium restoring order to the universe.

Gosh. BBC News referenced the allegations that Farage took coin from a convicted fraudster Gosh

All that security and he still can't hold a constituency surgery. Just how dangerous is Clacton?

"The sort of flags on lampposts we can get behind! Activists from Take Back Power, a non-violent civil resistance group, took to the streets of Frinton-on-Sea in Nigel Farage’s constituency of Clacton to raise 'Tax the Rich' flags, while removing England flags and Union Jacks" via London Economic

Amazing work by Reform in picking Robert Jenrick as the man to tour the broadcast studios to portray Nigel Farage and his party as a model of probity

Next time you hear UK politicians and the msm say we can't afford welfare, remember it is smaller as a share of the GDP than it was 15 years ago, not bigger. In 2025-26 is estimated to be 10.8% of GDP. France is over 31% of its GDP 55% of the welfare bill is spent on pensions. ##NotOnOurSide 🔥🇬🇧

Had a lovely time slagging off the UK with a man who works for a fat orange rapist.

The gentle kiss of dawn. I haven't left the house since my surgery on Tuesday. This morning I persuaded my husband who was of course delighted to be woken up at 04.30am to drive me up to a lane nearby Glastonbury Tor 😂. The colour in the sky was just beautiful to see and it was so good for my soul.

Fact: 80% of terrestrial biodiversity lives in forests. When trees vanish, species vanish.

There is a solid plan, replacing the oil & Gas jobs with high skill, well paid renewable energy jobs.

That 4% of the population who oppose or strongly oppose the use of renewable energy sure do seem to get a lot of airtime and column inches.

The same unions who gave us "Red Ed" Milliband as Labour leader in 2010, when the party members had voted decisively for David Milliband - clearly the much more potent leader. Now he's "Green Ed", they've suddenly gone off him 🤦‍♂️

Disparing. I see a benefit of getting help to get solar and heat pumps in and EV charging points. In a year, if they have the momentum of slotting all this into homes, they could really get a shift on. Still waiting for Eds latest to drop.

It’s all a bit like arguing for the protection of jobs in the tobacco industry despite the unarguable harm of smoking. No one wants to see people lose their jobs, but sadly it’s an unavoidable consequence of trying to give our children a decent future. And for most of us, that’s more important.

Since I was born, nearly 50% of vertebrate species have gone extinct or are on the verge of extinction. I’ve lived not only through peak humanity but through peak life on Earth. We’ve had 70 years of Scientific warnings and done almost nothing of use. This is on us.

Pretty soon there won't be a crime, corruption, standards agency in the UK which isn't investigating Nigel Farage. Then they can start on the rest of Reform UK leaders ... "Nigel Farage reported to standards watchdog over ‘crypto lobbying'" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Peacock spiders are only 4mm long, but their courtship dance rivals any bird of paradise. Australia has over 90 species of these tiny, ultra-colorful performers.

Skip the ice cream, though, since the dairy industry is part of 1/3 of the emissions contributing to climate change and 40% of America’s water demands (far more than data centers) only to provide 18% of consumed calories. Plus land use, consequential extinction of other species, and deforestation.

and dismantle the evil meat and dairy industry! Rank by #climate impact: 1 ⚡ Energy (coal, oil, gas) 2 🐄 Animal agriculture (factory farming included) ! 3 🏭 Industry (steel, cement) 4 🚗 Transport #vegan

How does Five Homes Farage possibly persuade ordinary people he is on their side? Imagine being rich enough to own 5 homes outright - 4 of them purchased since 2020. Imagine the sheer brass neck of not even declaring to parliament where the cash to buy 3 of them came from 😳

Two billionaires who live abroad are planning to sidestep the Government's £100,000 cap on overseas donations. It's clear we need to kick big money out of our politics entirely with a donations cap. Please sign the petition. secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/194728/...

"So that's Theft, Fraud, Financial Misconduct, Political Misconduct and Misconduct in a public office. That's just the EU. In the UK, all of the above plus Treason, Money Laundering and Tax Evasion. The list probably goes on but that's enough of a start. Criminal Filth." via Timothy O'sullivan
