Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly objected to the “double-sided” ceasefire. The Israeli prime minister said that expecting both sides to halt military operations represents a dangerous departure from his preferred model: the famous one-sided ceasefire. www.normalisland.co.uk/p/israel-hug...

The major flaw in Labour’s wildlife plans everyone’s ignoring- explained in 30 seconds through the Backstreet Boys 🦫🦗💚🐸

Cringe

GiveDirectly has sent $1 billion in cash directly to people in extreme poverty. Their model has no middle man and study after study shows it works. Any billionaire could call them tomorrow and help pull an entire country out of poverty. For some, it would cost about a year in the stock market.

JD Vance flies to Hungary to interfere with the election, while complaining that people who haven't flown to Hungary to interfere with the election are interfering with the election. I doubt he'd know where to feed himself if it wasn't for his mouth flapping all day long. www.theguardian.com/uk

Please give what you can to help save this amazing and rare habitat 🙏

Well, this feels encouraging! I hope actually amounts to something 🫤

Something I don't think the UK boasts about enough - and a great rebuttal to Reform and the Tories' anti-net zero propaganda: The UK is home to 7 out of the top 10 biggest offshore wind farms in the world. 10 of the top 20. And 6 in 10 of the largest ones in the world currently under construction.

A very interesting read 👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If they really have to question this in anyway it shows they’re not fit for the job in the first place

Listen to the ick.

We shouldn't get over the 'ick' - just don't eat mass produced chicken! It's bad for you and bad for the environment

Such 'ick' is fully justified due to: ▶️Chicken farms' nighmarish/cruel conditions ▶️Manure pollution into our waterways ▶️Ammonia air pollution ▶️GHG emissions (nitrous oxide, methane, CO2) ▶️Deforestation for feed ▶️Bird flu & other risks of pandemics ▶️Healthier plant options Keep the ick, shift diet!

The only difference is sheep.

They’re back 💪💪 After CJ7’s arrival last night at 18:29, her mate, male 022 just arrived back this morning at 06:40. Brilliant news. Let the 2026 season commence 🎉🎉🎉 @careyssecretgarden.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

Brass balls on that war criminal

The global food system is systemically fragile in the same way that the global financial system was before the 2008 crash. If it goes it down, we’re looking, as complex societies, at a potential termination event. This week's column. Please read it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This would be a war crime. Obviously. Collective punishment.

Whiplash listening to this Reform spokesperson. Complaining energy bills are going up yet Reform support this illegal & unpopular war. They have constantly opposed investment in green infrastructure to secure our energy security - which would massively reduce bills. #BBCQT

Okay this is funny: “A French general has said joining President Donald Trump’s war is like buying a discounted ticket for the Titanic after it had already hit the iceberg.” Former commander of the Foreign Legion btw. 😂 www.thedailybeast.com/french-gener...

A very American deep dive into media control, war and performance politics. The louder the narrative management becomes, the weaker the position underneath it, which leads me to ask - what are they so worried about?

I don't want to ask the assistant a fucking question – why would I want to ask the fucking assistant a fucking question, I'm very obviously WhatsApping my fucking wife for fucks sake, when will this shit fucking END, get out of my fucking sight, sorry for swearing

Would be fantastic to see the same happen in our own Wicklow National Park.

"The results are astonishingly clear. On rewilded land, biodiversity surged across the board, with the number of bird species up 261%. The variety of bumblebee and butterfly species more than doubled, their abundance increased over 10x." The cure for nature loss exists. share.google/w30RUdw1902W...

Oooph

Good news - High Court rules parts of Dartmoor have been mismanaged! Overgrazing has been damaging protected sites on Dartmoor. Read the Press Release about our latest legal challenge: wildjustice.org.uk?p=52680&prev...

Fixed that headline for you: "Nature faces intense pressure from industrialised agriculture, which takes up 70% of England" (Built-up areas = 8.8% of England, solar = far less than 1%) Time to create more space for nature: www.farminguk.com/news/england...

When you’re unbuckling your pants at 9am but spaffing in a sock at 10.

My letter in the Guardian countering an article by a pro-growth lobbyist from Britain Remade attacking environmental legislation “Ecologists & conservationists would be surprised by his claim that the UK doesn’t & never will build enough to drive nature loss” 1/2 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Jews don't belong in American society." Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America. But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

The Fingleton review is the ultimate test for Labour on the environment. If they agree against all expert advice to weaken habitat regulations they are declaring war on nature lovers. To accept the recommendations in full is to lick the boots of the lobbyists who trample our wildlife.

Bahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Oh, how sad for him 🤣

In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks www.monbiot.com/2023/03/09/t...

Two points: 1. They’re not “expats” they’re “migrants.” 2. Them abandoning their pets will hopefully give each and every one of these people just a little bit of insight into the incredibly hard decisions refugees have to make when they’re fleeing war zones.

The saying “the dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed” seems particularly apposite today.

Peter Oborne DESTROYS Media LIES about Iran War

As the US/Israel attack on Iran is likely to tip the UK into recession, let's not forget that Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are trashing our rivers, ecosystems, communities, health and resilience for the sake of economic growth. But, as they are now discovering, it's not something they can control.

Great!! Sheep are a *top* cause of nature loss. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Time To Eat The Rich? #BrokenNews

Pro growth rhetoric claiming to care about our suffering natural world 🦔 Britain Remade is a Tufton Street adjacent think tank that promotes building unfettered by environmental legislation

I’m really disappointed in @theguardian.com for posting this misinformation and failing to disclose who funds Britain Remade. It’s bad journalism to publish a pro deregulation article from an EDF-funded PR company-created lobby group without that context @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
