When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Autism is a spectrum. It means every autistic person experiences different combinations of autistic traits. You face many challenges but they can be turned into strengths. Autism is like a rainbow it has a bright side and a darker side but every shade is important and beautiful.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

@bbowt.bsky.social Dancersend is looking superb and will be even better for my first guided walk of the season on Sunday 26 April. For details/booking go to www.bbowt.org.uk/events. More on 'Wildlife specialities & secrets' on 24 May and 'Creating space for rare chalk species' on 28 June. Join me!!

Jeez. Labour MP’s have just voted to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state. No protest movement has ever brought about change through one single march or action. How did it come to this?

True of the far right everywhere. At heart, their message and aims are bile.

I've been leaked a letter from the Telegraph's new owners. It's now mandatory for the Telegraph's journalists to support Israel. And their new owner's record is deeply disturbing 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/at-the-tel...

But why has China become a global leader in renewable energy production? Because the fossil fuel industry has used its enormous influence (and funding) to attack any moves towards a transition to renewable energy in the West, using both the libertarian & far right political movements & the media.

Times: "Tony Blair urges Ed Miliband: Don’t be ideological on net zero" "Britain should produce more clean energy while accelerating domestic oil & gas production" - TBI This would be a tad more credible if the Tony Blair Institute's clients weren't despotic petro-states like UAE & Saudi Arabia.

A few spaces have become available on our guided nocturnal wildlife walk in Neath. Booking details below 👇

The Pakistani Prime Minister who was the intermediary for the ceasefire tweeted yesterday that it included Lebanon

New study finds the "canary in the coal mine" for the #AMOC: a consistent decline of the western overturning circulation, down from 20 to 15 Sv during 2004-2023 at 26° N. 🌊 AMOC "could be at or near a critical tipping point, potentially leading to its collapse". www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I’ve known Lebanon for three decades. What’s happening now is an invasion. This is Gaza 2.0 – and the world is barely paying attention. @CaroleCadwalladr for the Nerve Link 🔽

Dartmoor has been deliberately set ablaze tonight. An apocalyptic photo of swaling (moorland burning) that I’ve been sent, of the moor alight at Corndon Down, Spitchwick Common. All burning is meant to end on Dartmoor today, 31st March - and many birds will already be nesting this early spring. 😢

There's lots of evidence that China is investing heavily in science, technology, and education. Here's one example: I'm participating in giving lectures for a university class on global freshwater issues. 10,000 students are expected to take the class. 10,000.

Elon Musk had DOGE defund USAID, the largest humanitarian organization in the world, causing HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of deaths from starvation and disease - and Trump GLEEFULLY approved it. It’s the single most evil act in US history. Cartoon by Mike Luckovich

The Artemis programme will cost £73 billion to fly to the Moon and back. 🚀 Launched from Florida coastline that climate change is actively drowning. 🚀 Cheered on by Trump whose Mar-a-Lago property will end up under water. We don’t need to escape this planet. We need to save it.

Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Two of the journalists assassinated in South Lebanon this morning by Israel were Lebanese correspondents Ali Shoeib and Fatima Ftouni. They become the 252nd and 253rd journalists killed by Israel in the last two years. Unprecedented. (📸 Cradle Media)

“An offence to speak out against a genocidal state that we are aiding and abetting. When people speak out against it they get labelled as terrorists”. “That’s the British state. That’s the situation we’re in.” The first of eighteen arrests today outside New Scotland Yard.

The US now has 23 heavy bomber aircraft at ‘RAF’ Fairford in Gloucestershire, according to military-watching social media sites this weekend. Keir Starmer’s Britain is heavily involved in Trump’s illegal war of aggression on Iran. www.declassifieduk.org/how-britain-...

A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.

It's time to see past our differences and remember what connects us. When we realise where our strength lies - in each other - that's when change happens. A powerful message from @mothinali.bsky.social: youtu.be/VPsR1hfTaAA

A reminder that 24 Palestine Actionists were held on remand for as long as 18months without conviction for allegedly dismantling weapons of genocide, risking harm to nobody. Meanwhile: Men released on bail over Jewish charity ambulance arson attack www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Police to resume Palestine Action arrests due to staggering rise in terrorism that has so far seen zero casualties Tax payers foot the bill — the same tax payers who can’t get a police officer to come out when they’ve been burgled @normalisland.co.uk www.normalisland.co.uk/p/police-to-...

Millions of people are carrying on their everyday lives, totally unaware of what's about to hit them. If Trump blows up Iran's power stations, Iran will destroy energy infrastructure across the Gulf. This would be one of the major "before-and-after" events of human history.

It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight. As a Cuban, I'm devastated.

It is increasingly likely that devastating heat is on the way later this year and into next, as another El Nino supercharges global temperatures Expect records to be smashed across the planet www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Every responsible decision maker in politics, industry etc. should read this. Or better yet the original WMO report it’s about (linked in the article). And then think very seriously: What am I doing to stop this? Is it enough? How do I want to be remembered? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

At the end of March and the end of May I will be presenting two webinars which explore the connections between, #biodiversity, #pollinators and the #UNSDGs, showing why the conservation of nature is central to a just, healthy, and sustainable future - details here: jeffollerton.co.uk/2026/03/23/j...
