Good numbers of adult mayflies along the Ver at Hedges Farm this evening. Numbers into the hundreds. @vervalleysoc.bsky.social

Had some nice beetles at Frogmore Lakes recently. Not least it was great to see a Glowworm Larva this evening. Also a Lesser Stag Beetle today and both Common and Black-headed Cardinal Beetle over the past few weeks.

Except Labour did move to the right, Wes - on immigration, banning protest, ‘island of strangers’, attacking nature protections, etc - chasing a tiny number of Reform switchers whilst ignoring its core vote, and never talking about its more left wing economic policies bsky.app/profile/alex...

Heaven forbid that Labour should seek to copy any of the policies of the Greens after they just overturned a 13,000-vote majority in one of Labour’s safest seats. Let’s just call those voters ‘sectarian’ and ‘extremist’ instead. That’ll work

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK... 78% are murdered by a partner/ex Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety In fact, they voted against them...

In June 2024, 80,000 of us marched peacefully to #RestoreNatureNow with hardly a mention in the media. Were we supposed to have thrown stones and fought the police to be noticed? www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
