"The way he viewed women and girls – as playthings to be used and discarded – is not uncommon among certain powerful men who believe they are above the law. And many of those men are still going about their daily lives, enjoying the benefits of their power." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We are being sold a false story that nature is the enemy. That newts, bats, snails and spiders are somehow responsible for the so-called housing crisis and a blocker to economic growth. This is a deliberate lie - using a cynically chosen group of species that could be found in a witches cauldron.

My wife Alison had these five Merveille du Jour moths in her moth trap this morning, here in SE Scotland.

We're extremely lucky that every year without fail we have breeding Kingfishers at Warnham LNR. Usually the first sighting gets everyone excited and the hides are packed, today I comfortably sat with a few others watching this cracking male. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #kingfisher #birds

It's as if he's laying down a gauntlet. I would say that one of the qualities of British people is fairness and valuing the ability to protest peacefully. This is deeply disturbing, unfair and unBritish. Expect a backlash Starmer www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?” “Because that’s what they are” @vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference. #Newsnight

Labour's "war on terrorism" continues...

Food and agriculture contribute one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions – second only to the burning of fossil fuels. Half of the earth’s habitable land is devoted to agriculture, and most (80%) is grazing pasture and cropland for animal feed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

BREAKING: Peaceful protestors arrested outside the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool Yet more peaceful protesters are being arrested today and hauled from the streets by police - a scene which just a few months ago would have been shocking but is quickly becoming the norm... 🧵

Grotesque

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

“Politicians steering the Terrorism Act through Parliament in 1999 reassured MPs that proscription would only catch groups engaged in “serious violence” and the then home secretary clarified that direct action groups like Greenpeace would be excluded.” But now... https://goodlaw.social/srqu

Can we convince you to continue your campaign against those who seek to get out of paying stamp duty, @thesun.co.uk? How about you, @telegraphnews.bsky.social? Surely, you're outraged about this, @dailymail.co.uk? Anyone?

The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists

Not content with his corrupt involvement in the silencing of protestors, Israel Arms lobbyist Lord Walney is now trying to ban TV shows associated with Sally Rooney. Is this the modern equivalent of book-burning? Now where have we seen that before… inews.co.uk/news/bbc-und...

Pumping from this stretch of 'protected' chalk stream has more than halved water flow, depriving the river's only remaining breeding population of brown trout of habitat & oxygen - in a waterway that ought to be a thriving lifeline for wildlife. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
