Hungry Water Rail in a snowy, Scarborough garden.

This video doesn't do the spectacle justice. Fantastic afternoon and evening at North Cave Wetlands. #birdingyorkshire

Yes!!

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I need to get this off my chest. The capitalist system is abusive, the political class are abusive. We are all in this together is bullshit, we are not, we are being abused daily. It's not OK.

Farage: epic grifter

My family has experienced this first hand. Labour cutting support for the sick and disabled whilst peddling the narrative that disabled people don't want to work! Tell me again that Labour is great and I will reply, "Labour is shameful and immoral." socialistworker.co.uk/labour/labou...

"... you're only a pawn in their game..."

Starmer's supporters are like: "Our evil, lying prick isn't as bad as the Reform evil, lying prick; so if you don't vote for our asshole, you'll get that other asshole." That's literally all they have.

The global elite, the 1%, want us to hate one another. Divided we fall, they win United we win, they fall. It’s not rocket science. Don’t give in to them. Don’t let them divide us. It should be us vs them and we will win.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester. Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.

What a beauty, Top Hill Low today.

This is how you do it!

Funny how there is no money for disabled people or those struggling on low pay, but we can give a bigoted US President a banquet costing £10,000s.

Trump's visit disgusts me.

Absolutely this!

In 2018 Jeremy Hunt bought 7 flats in a single transaction, paying around £3.57 million for the lot. Buying 7 in one go avoided about £300,000 in stamp duty. If your kids can't find homes to buy near you, blame people like Hunt, not desperate people running for their lives.

Fab holiday Tarifa. Bee Eaters are just beautiful.

Let that sink in!!

Hellish dry at Filey Dams. On the plus side, it's brought in a few waders. First Spotted Redshank for me...sorry no photo, so here's a few Ruff.

Are we really going to drown in six inches of water? The central far right claim - that our problems are caused not by those with power and wealth but by utterly powerless people (asylum seekers etc) - is obviously and pathetically wrong. Yet millions, once more, are floundering in that puddle.

FARAGE HOLDS A EUROPEAN PASSPORT, BRIT'S DON'T THANKS TO HIM THE SUN IS OWNED BY THE US/AUSTRALIAN MURDOCH EMPIRE, IT'S NOT BRITISH or operating in its interests GB NEWS GETS ITS MONEY FROM DUBAI, it is not working in the British interests GB NEWS OWNER IS A HEDGE FUND MANAGER, not 1 of U

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure. It's capital. The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

A *white British* grooming gang. Let’s be consistent. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Disabled people are tired of benefits framed as theft while corporate subsidies are called investment.

The Reform Party is the natural home of domestic violence perpetrators rapists & sex abusers who blame migrants and stir racist hate to obscure their own criminality #SocialistSunday

Reparations are owed to Palestine. Pass it on.

My son just reminded me of this! Farage, still claiming to be a man of the people. youtu.be/hn6Rds4kbFE?...

The same disability cuts policies which we're told caused MPs to weep in opposition they're now voting for in government

Anyone else find it odd that the BBC is screening live aid which was to raise money for a famine in Ethiopia But the BBC wouldn't show a documentary on doctors in Gaza which is currently being starved of food by Israel even though there's plenty of it just over the border which Israel won't let in?

Why haven't lawyers like Keir Starmer in the British Cabinet which is arming an illegal occupation contrary to international law been struck off, disbarred by the Legal Services Board which has powers to punish rogue lawyers meme via @bdsmovement.bsky.social

Sooo cute!

There are 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK. Meanwhile, there are more British billionaires than ever before. I think we should tax the rich to lift children out of poverty. Why is that such a radical idea?

27 people — including a priest, professor and health workers — were arrested today under terrorism laws. Their crime? Peacefully holding signs opposing genocide. This is how we sleepwalk into fascism.

Name and shame all the MPs

Seems I am destined only to ever hear Green Woodpecker and never see them 🥺

Not a brilliant photo but.....Spoonbills!!
