Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower #ActOnClimate

I had to cross central Sheffield at five o’clock yesterday afternoon. Barely a tree on my route, just hard surfacing. It was brutal. We need to transform our cities fast, yet where is the vision? By contrast, Paris is planting trees and growing creepers like there’s no tomorrow.

It’s time for the government to tear up its red lines & start taking practical steps towards EU membership. The world has changed & so has public opinion. What better way for a new PM to signal a new beginning?

Reposting on this issue, as my previous framing wasn't too helpful. Almost everything being said in the media and by politicians of all parties today about Dartmoor's ponies is false. People have run with the story without any due diligence. naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2026/06/09/d...

Kudos to Romeo, he didn't flinch!

Today marks ten years since the assassination of Humanists UK member Jo Cox MP by a far right extremist: a dark day in the history of our country, and a wound in our public life that has not healed. Today, we remember Jo, her work, and legacy of compassion. @jocoxfoundation.bsky.social .

Nigel Farage has confirmed during an interview with LBC that one of his first priorities were he Prime Minster would be to scrap the Human Rights Act. Here are the rights British people would instantly lose if he did that…..

Good morning 🌳 #watercolour #landscape #watercolor #art #painting #peaceful

My offering for #scape day this week is my latest watercolour landscape painting. I enjoyed painting in these rich green and teal hues. Hope you have a lovely weekend. #art #watercolour #watercolor #landscape #painting #landscapepainting #originalart #lake | karinacoghlin.com

QUESTION Time called out for “dangerous” lack of balance on panel – Zack Polanski says BBC allowed billionaire to buy “entire episode”. Carole Cadwalladr said panel “equivalent of pitting Nigel Farage against Rupert Lowe with a bit of Tommy Robinson thrown in”. www.thenational.scot/news/2614585...

Yesterday I witnessed something extraordinary: the author Sarah Wynn-Williams sitting silent on a stage at @hayfestival.bsky.social. And she got a standing ovation. I hope the attempt to censor her backfires magnificently. I have just ordered her book. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A seascape painting for #scape day. I don't often paint in acrylic these days, but I might give it another whirl this weekend. Happy Friday! #seascape #art #painting #Friday #blue #sea #landscape #acrylic | karinacoghlin.com

Farage doesn’t care. Racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia… Reform can go for it. It didn’t make any difference in America. Trump boasted about his own toxicity and won. Farage is hoping he can do the same here. Just disgraceful that he stands a chance. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I can hardly believe it's Friday again already. To celebrate #scape day, here is a small #watercolour painting in Payne's grey. Happy weekend! #watercolor #landscape #painting #art #landscapepainting #paynesgrey #minimalistart #calm #tree | karinacoghlin.com

A letter published in the Plymouth Herald: "Have you noticed that the authors of articles against net-zero offer opinions, but rarely solid evidence to back up their claims? But where do they get their ideas?" Good question...

Today’s poem is called ‘Billionaire in a Midlife Crisis’.

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

“I’ll be voting for Reform - it can’t get any worse” Oh it really can. You put a bunch of corrupt, racist, incompetent, lying Trumpists in charge and things will get very much worse. Potholes and empty shops will feel unimportant compared to the loss of the NHS, social care and a torched economy.

Happy #Scape Day! This #watercolour #painting sold a while ago, but it remains one of my favourites. Some works are harder to part with than others, but this one found a lovely new home. #art #watercolor #landscape #minimalist #originalart #artcollector #abstractart #abstract | karinacoghlin.com

I saw this in the letters section of the Guardian today which gave me a laugh: "I dream of having a name that someone asks me to spell." Mary Smith (nee Jones) 😁 (Also: I dream of the exact opposite!)

She Dares to Claim the Sky. #Limitededition #artprint from a #watercolour #painting Someone bought two of these prints recently and I would love to know who they are for. I've written about why I painted it and what inspired the title, if you would like to see: www.karinacoghlin.com/journal/she-...

These paintings are a few years old now, but I am reminded of how much I loved painting seascapes when I first started experimenting with different media. These are acrylic, which I don't tend to use these days. #art #seascapes #paintings #calm #abstractart #blue #landscapes | karinacoghlin.com

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵

They haven’t identified the strain yet but multiple strains of bacteria which commonly cause meningitis and sepsis can be vaccinated against and even if you missed vaccination at school, you can be vaccinated up to age 25: www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

About time!

Reform is too thick to hide their real motive for power. It’s not to make us wealthier. It’s not to improve our public services. It’s not even to manage immigration. It’s to wildly enrich themselves by dumping the rules and regulations that protect us from exploitation, discrimination and risk.

A little bit of serenity for #scape day, landscapes in monotone. Watercolour on cotton paper. Hope you have a good weekend x #painting #art #serenescene #landscapes #watercolour #watercolor #ukartist #keepcalm #calmart #snowscene #winterlandscape #snow #paynesgrey | karinacoghlin.com
