Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My heart is heavy from the disruption-funded MS media's constant vitriol about Starmer/Labour Govt. It's turning left-leaning voters towards both extremes of the political spectrum. Can't we just back off the hate-headlining? If you're angry, stop shouting & consider how best to improve things.

Yes, this is fascism. For years, historians and experts were cautious about using the f-word to describe today's events. But that hesitation is gone now. 🧵

I really do like having the little family of peregrin falcons living here; they are such beautiful birds. But today I am feeling the loss of all the little brush rabbits who used to mow my lawn for me. Need to plant more salvia and artemesia, so they have more places to burrow and hide! 🌎🌿🐇🪶 /|\

It’s that time of year again—the World Economic Forum in Davos kicks off today. Once again, global elites will gather to discuss everything, except their own massive tax avoidance and evasion. 🧵 Thread -->

Imagine still believing that America is the land of the free when they’re doing this to a journalist at a press conference
