Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

Did you watch Dirty Business? And it is covering a very dirty business. Heartbreaking and infuriating. Putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

@luketryl.bsky.social Hi Luke, have you published the full MiC polling on Labour defectors and nature policies that was discussed in the Guardian this week? Thanks! - www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So pleased to announce Mark Drakeford - sponsored by @jameshitch.bsky.social with @rewildingbritain.org.uk - as the last MS to join our Species Champion project for 2021-2026 term! Just under the wire, we'll be trying to peregrine-spot at City Hall very soon cardiffjournalism.co.uk/intercardiff...

Hey! I just called on the UK government to scrap anti-protest laws which attack our hard won democratic freedoms. Please can you defend the right to protest too by signing the petition? act.gp/3pIM9ns

Talk about a metaphor 😀 You really couldn't make it up www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

this is brilliant satire: “Given what I took to be the anti-Trump nature of the Sketch, I of course assumed there would be a similar, balancing Sketch discussing the possibility that the Capitol building had attacked the rioters....."

"To ensure the BBC’s independence, impartiality and trust, Robbie Gibb should have no role in appointing the new director general" Good call by @eddavey.libdems.org.uk: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sanity. Thankfully. How far we've slipped that this appeal even came to be needed. I feel relief and joy for Marcus and his family. With a lack of leadership on climate in the face of widespread public support, what else are people supposed to do?

The populist right can be beaten when people are offered hope and a vision of a fairer future. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Bromsgrove South (Worcestershire) Council By-Election Result: 🔶 LDM: 51.9% (+20.3) ➡️ RFM: 33.4% (-1.5) 🌳 CON: 11.3% (-5.8) 🌹 LAB: 3.4% (-4.1) No GRN (-5.5) or Ind (-3.4) as previous. Liberal Democrat GAIN from Reform. Changes w/ 2025.

⏰It's time: the EU’s credibility on human rights & climate is on the line. Ahead of the #Omnibus I vote, 140+ EU & non-EU CSOs urge MEPs to back a strong, fair deal that protects workers, communities & our planet, not corporate interests. corporatejustice.org/publications...

*gasp*

We don't just want 9 river walks, we want access to all rivers. 96% of rivers in England and Wales have no rights of access. Landowners have blocked public access to rivers for centuries. Labour's promise is just 9 new river walks. We say that's not enough.

This is the third story in the past week detailing how natural carbon sinks are starting to falter. We don’t know nearly enough about how these tipping points could play out, but the potential for genuinely terrifying outcomes should be obvious by now. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Come on over …

“Food is at the heart of both human well-being and planetary health,” said co-chair Shakuntala Thilsted. “Transformation must go beyond producing enough calories. It must guarantee the right to food, fair work and a healthy environment for all.” www.politico.eu/article/food...

Kemi Badenoch's pledge to scrap the Climate Change Act has now been condemned by Theresa May, Lord Deben (John Gummer), Alok Sharma, the Confederation of British Industry, the Church of England, the Catholic Church - all previously mainstays of the Tory party: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“.as the climate crisis has accelerated, it is increasingly indefensible for 📰 of climate change not to make it clear that this crisis is driven by very specific human activities – primarily burning fossil fuels. And in 2nd place is food, agriculture, forestry.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lovely piece. "As he drives off, waving, I wonder why this kind of interaction feels so rare, so unexpected, in the British countryside." Well. Quite. A Right to Roam and a Responsible Access Code could be the change. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Very well said. 👏👏👏 I'd also add: food is a commodity that we pay for at point of sale. Our taxes should be spent on public benefits, delivering multiple targets and helping save money across departments. amanwy.blogspot.com/2025/07/we-n...

All power to @chrisgpackham.bsky.social and @wildjustice.bsky.social in pursuing this crucial case. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oh! His support for driven grouse shooting during Monday's debate now makes a lot more sense! FYI, @oliviablakemp.bsky.social raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/07/03/p...

We're at the Welsh Labour Party Conference this week, complete with exhibition stand and our Rewilding Manifesto, ready to talk about what rewilding could do for nature in Wales. If you’re attending, please make sure to stop by and say hello – we're at Stand 37 in the Atrium. Welwn ni chi yno! 👋

We’re thrilled to see the @commonseac.parliament.uk report featured today on The Guardian, calling for urgent action to protect UK seas. It contains many bold and vital steps that we champion in our Wilder Seas report, launched yesterday in collaboration with @mcsuk.bsky.social. 1/3

Great conversations and a very inspiring site,undertaking a great mix of work, underpinned by very thorough monitoring and recording.

"The state of English water taps into something deep – something visceral. It has become a symbol of a rigged economy, a failed regulatory state, a political class that either can’t or won’t fix what it broke." #rivers #blue #blueconomy #freshwater #waterislife www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

1. This is a thread about Horticultural Extrapolation. Not something you're likely to have thought about, but it's time some people did. What is it? It's projecting the mechanics of fruit and veg growing onto the entire food system. It's surprisingly common, and frequently leads people astray. 🧵

Please sign and then pass it on! We need this debate.

Eye-opening graph. The biggest wildfire incidents in the UK don't occur when it's hottest, in high summer: they take place in April - *when landowners set fire to their grouse moors & lose control of burns.* Time to ban moorland burning. Source: www.iucn-uk-peatlandprogramme.org/sites/defaul...

I see so many posts, here and elsewhere, about how we need to reframe or rethink rewilding to make it less divisive. I disagree. Firstly any new thing will create disagreement, that’s fine. Secondly, polling suggests people love the idea. The idea it’s super divisive is largely industry narrative.

I published these 10 & 12 years ago, when it seemed that frames like ‘get rid of the green crap’ & environmental groups being lumped into an ‘anti-growth coalition’ were on their way out. Truth is though that there is no growth on a polluted & degraded planet. Perhaps I’ll write new editions.

Quite! And that's assuming he'll drop his constant overseas trips and multiple other roles. As the article says @teamlabouruk.bsky.social in Wales must acknowledge this threat and work to see it off

Stop Musk! This petition to prevent overseas billionaires meddling in our politics is now at *94,000* signatures - having leapt up from just 30k a day ago. It’s *so close* now to triggering a parliamentary debate - let’s get it over the 100k mark by the end of today! bsky.app/profile/guys...

Done. An important one.
