The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

Excellent @drdavidlowry letter in Daily Telegraph. Couldn't agree more "#EdMiliband is being disingenuous when he claims that nuclear energy is clean and home-grown". #SayNo2SizewellC www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2025...

It appears that with each high tide, the sea is edging ever closer to these temporary sea defences at the Sizewell C site. The eroding dunes do not bode well for the permanent sea defences that will need to keep the site safe for the next 150yrs till all the spent fuel is removed! #SayNo2SizewellC

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social why are you not listening ???

Something that is never factored into the published cost of nuclear energy, a near century long clean up. We pay for this. Current bill, £120 billion and climbing. Sizewell C will be just more of the same. Expensive power and a toxic legacy for thousands of years. buff.ly/fvUNHbs

Keir Starmer has just told COP30 in the Amazon: "The Amazon rainforest helps to regulate the climate for every person on earth" So why has the UK Govt refused to invest in Brazil's fund to save tropical rainforests? & why no mention of Britain's temperate rainforests? www.gov.uk/government/s...

This is absolutely appalling. "The UK will not contribute to a flagship fund for the world’s remaining tropical forests, in a bitter blow to the Brazilian hosts on the eve of the Cop30 climate summit." Absolutely pathetic. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Last night, Peers voted against Swift bricks: rejecting a simple, proven way to help one of our fastest declining birds recover. ❌ We share @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social's disappointment & frustration. The vote came late, but with government refusing to back it, its fate was already sealed.

Farage: epic grifter

Immoral for govt to find £bns of public funds for risky Sizewell C yet won't commit sufficient £££s for essential Geological Disposal Facility "NWS does not yet fully understand the potential impacts of the govt spending review on...the delivery of the GDF” www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/uncer...

We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

So much global political doom and gloom but so much heartening action happening at grassroots - the more we all take part in local, loving action for the planet (and us), the better we all feel and the more real hope for the future. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A massive thanks to the Dorset Tourism Awards too for our award and for recognising that Eco-tourism is playing a large and important part of Dorsets future..... #DorsetTA @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @bournemouthecho.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election. To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Just extraordinary to witness this nature-hating government sabotaging Labour’s own legacy. And for absolutely no reason: nature protection isn’t blocking development - it’s a necessary prerequisite for it (& for everything else, come to that…)

"The system that has caused such destruction of nature is the same system that rips us apart from each other." - @rachelmillward.bsky.social

Natural England confirms ongoing & relentless illegal persecution is reason why Hen Harriers are still rare in England. #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime #Ornithology raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/10/02/h...

The tree you climbed as a child. Gone. The Swifts over your town. Gone. The air you breathe. Polluted. The river. Unsafe. This is the reality of deregulation. Cutting protections would mean disaster for nature & our economy. Our CEO sets out why: rspb.org.uk/whats-happen... 👈

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... Who’d have thought…!?

Wood larks, night jars & glow worms. That’s what can come back “incredibly quickly” when conifer plantation is removed & heathland restored. Wonderful success from the New Forest. Imagine if Forestry England expanded this to the rest of their National Park estate). www.bbc.com/news/article...

'The police said in a statement four adults were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications after an “unauthorised projection”' Malicious communications? So much for freedom of speech! 2025 the year of the Thought Police?

Yet more compelling evidence to support @greenparty.org.uk policy that public services should be in public hands 👇

Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

We're calling on the government to: Put rewilding in the new Land Use Framework for Britain 🌳 Make nature recovery the primary purpose of our national parks 🏞️ Scale up delivery and investment into woodland, peatland, coastal and river restoration 🌱 How you can help👇

What utter dickheads we are… Rayner fought for workers: sick pay, maternity rights, protection from unfair dismissal Farage and his MPs voted it down Rayner gets binned over £40k in stamp duty Farage dodges £44k, shrugs & strolls on The mega wealthy win again.

Lucy Connolly, jailed for urging people to set fire to hotels housing refugees, is speaking at the Reform party conference today. All the worst people.

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"To the people of the UK who think this Putin-loving free-speech imposter and Trump sycophant will protect freedom in your country, come on over to America and see what Trump & MAGA are doing to destroy OUR freedom" Farage has his arse handed to him on a plate.

Some ideas for growing mixtures of veg together to mimic natural ecosystems and get the most from your growing space. The opposite of monoculture farming! youtu.be/-0DyF9l8WJE #organic #growyourown #allotment

Congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on his emphatic victory earlier today - the UK desperately needs politicians on the left who have both moral clarity and can communicate well. I hope the Greens under Zack take on Farage & the rise of the far right www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

More than 500 UN staff member have urged its human rights chief to describe the Gaza conflict as a genocide. It's been clear for a long time that Netanyahu's regime is genocidal. But our government still refuses to call it what it is and take action to stop it.

Vote Farage if you want to be fracked. Vote Farage if you want chlorinated chicken. Vote Farage if you want to pay the Taliban to take back refugees. Just a few ideas for attack lines for anyone opposing Reform. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

Former head of EDF says the EPR nuclear reactor - the one EDF is building at Hinkley & Sizewell - is “phenomenally complex”, “almost unbuildable” Here's how costs of Sizewell compares with other reliable low carbon power Why did UK govt go ahead with this boondoggle? www.ft.com/content/ee89...

Important urgent reading for anyone who cares about nature. In ‘the Lie of the Land’, @guyshrubsole.bsky.social doesn’t just present the current crisis, he explains the history, to better understand possible solutions. This should give even the most depressed, apathetic reader a sense of mission.

Spot on @johnharris1969.bsky.social. The Right are hijacking Englishness with narratives of exclusion, exceptionalism & imperial nostalgia,& progressives haven’t even got onto the bloody pitch. We urgently need to tell more compelling stories of who we are #AnotherEngland👇

This is just getting ridiculous. Nothing that has happened (or is reported below the headline to have happened) this weekend remotely justifies talk of an explosion or mass protests. The media are confecting a crisis, and, in some sections of it, hoping to provoke one. 1/3

Not true just feels true: “We could have just put a simple 12mile diversion in place” said #SizewellC “but frankly that wouldn’t have showcased Britain’s motorway service stations, and people would miss out on the opportunity to accidentally end up in Scotland” www.suffolkgazette.com/sizewell-c-a...

Great Private Eye article. "In the case of Sizewell C, the new French nuclear power station recently given the go-ahead, ministers simply ignored the strictures of the planning authorities and regulators." #SayNo2SizewellC

Moments like this highlight that progress can be made. Regardless of views on reintroductions, with the right approach & a positive attitude, declines can be reversed, and we hope we can act as a publicity vehicle that promotes & highlights why this is all so important @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social
