I repeat, and will keep repeating, the question: why is anyone listening to this lobbyist for tech billionaires and dodgy oil regimes? He's been that far longer than PM www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

Did u know? Since installing 3 wildlife ponds in our garden, our amphibian population has increased 10-fold. They're everywhere - & I love it. By the way, this adult frog had such a healthy leap, I was sure s/he had sprouted wings. Look at it disappear at an incredible rate, into my comfrey. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🐸🦎

UK household energy debt hits £4.43bn. 1,133,683 electricity, 926,545 gas customers in debt. Since 2020 top 20 energy companies made £514bn operating profit, causing inflation/poverty. 128,000 people a year die in fuel poverty. Profiteering causes social problems. Regulators do nothing.

Rip-off Britain. Mobile and broadband companies are engaging in “murky” practices to make it hard for consumers to find good deals Companies raise capital from customers, who own nothing. Annual prices hiked by inflation+3.9% even as operating costs fall. Regulators do not protect people.

Did u know? I don't get the negativity that sometimes surrounds ants. They're fascinating social animals, whose highly organised lives are staggering; their large numbers also mean they're plentiful food for other animals, like birds & finally, they love nectar & are significant pollinators. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🐜🪲🌍

HOLY SHIT

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

London Underground ⦵🇬🇧: 11 lines, 272 stations, 402km, 619 trains, 1.18bn journeys (2023/24), began 1863. New York City Subway 🚇🇺🇸: 36 lines, 472 stations, 1,070km, 6,787 trains, 2.04bn journeys (2024), began 1904. The Tube is older, but NYC’s network is far bigger and busier.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon being deported twice in 24 hours - first from Colombia, then from Panama - because he’s deemed a national security threat, just a week after he led a march calling for migrants to be deported, is the kind of schadenfreude we can all savour.

He wanted a quiet break so he tried to go to Colombia. 😂 Honestly, this sort of total commitment to scoring some gear deserves our admiration.

Did u know? We've been prepping our wildlife garden for winter,including shearing/scything our no-mow lawns.The slow & gentle action doesn't damage small souls or the environment.The cuttings will make compost for next year. Not much to see, but this is the end result - & zero frogs harmed. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐸

Did u know? We gave up mowing 5 years ago & it has increased the life in our outside space, 10 fold. At the end of the season, we scythe, sickle & shear our no-mow lawns. The slow motion allows small souls to get out of the way; it also means no noise & no petrol pollution. Win-win. #nomow 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🐸🪲🦋

The forest is important. Not only for us humans, but also for animals and plants. The forest fulfils many functions from which we humans benefit in many ways. We should treat our forests accordingly - with care and sustainability.💚🌱🌿☘️🌲🌳🍀💚

I was surprised to read that Melania and Barron have both moved into the White House, and Barron is at the DC branch of his school. I wonder if the state of trump's health has anything to do with it.

Did u know? For such small souls, bees have good sight. They've 2 compound eyes with which they pick up on a huge array of colours(including the UV range)They see & remember the landscape of their surroundings & even have 3 more eyes on top of their heads that help them traverse their world. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐝

"the Met confirmed it would NOT be using live facial recognition - which captures people's faces in real-time CCTV cameras - in its policing of the Unite the Kingdom march" But it WAS used in pro-Palestine and climate demonstrations Not really a surprise for the Met www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Got distracted by life stuff but really need to push this again. Help me raise at least £1000 for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust‬ by to draw 1000+ bumblebees in as short of time as I can (around 3 hours) If more is raised, I'll draw #bees to match the amount. www.justgiving.com/page/1000bum...
