Does anyone else still have a scruffy old cardboard ID card (UK) from the 1940s? I wonder if I’ll get the same number again? #IDcard

it would have been simpler for Chris Mason to say he’d joined the Reform comms team

My third Jersey tiger moth this summer (Cambs). #UKmoths

Just spotted a rarity- a Lib Dem on Politics Live

Thrilled to see two unmistakable Jersey Tiger moths (Cambs). It was a first for me. They were too quick for me to get a photo. #mothUK #Jerseytiger

First blackberries of the year- gathered enough for blackberry and apple pie (Cambs)

Did I really just hear this on BBC news? “The northern lights over the Antarctic”

Happiness is……picking my first aubergine of the year, two months earlier than usual.

Has anyone seen any swallows or house martins yet? (East of England). Sand martins have been here a while and I’ve seen plenty of swifts - that’s all.

Orange tip butterflies #britishbutterfly

Cuckoos right and left, deer putting in a shy appearance, damsel flies and willow seed fluff. What a morning to be out and about at Fen Drayton Lakes.

Apparently a trade deal UK/US. Not at all sure this is going to be good for UK. We will know the details soon.

Just seen my first two sand martins of the year. Cambs #britishbirds

@wildflowerhour.bsky.social A lovely patch of Celandine brightening wasteland at the end of my road.

@wildflowerhour.bsky.social Cowslips are out #wildflowerhour

Incredible blog post about an incredible book! 💜

Novid to Covid 😨

#wildflowerhour. This afternoon- red deadnettle, chickweed, one lonely speedwell and damson just coming into flower (will be back for the fruit in due course as they make great jam)

Twice Vance criticised Zalensky for his behaviour in front of the “American” press. Vance must have known Tass were there reporting straight back to Moscow.

Putin must be rubbing his hands in glee right now.

Celandine putting in a welcome appearance (Cambs) #wildflower

New to Bluesky. Usually posting about birds, nature, or my artwork. Say 👋 Just for fun here are some #hiddengems pieces. Spot the odd one out! Marsh tits/willow tit, black-headed gulls/Bonaparte's gull, snipe/jack snipe, golcrests/firecrest #birds #nature #art #hiddengems

“Labour must make economic growth ideas work this time.” Chris Mason just cannot help himself can he?

Oh- just hearing a blackbird singing. First time this year.

Taking the leap into Bluesky 👋

This, by Best for Britain, is a superb piece of work. It shows that the UK public prioritise the EU over the US for trade, values and trust. This is also true of voters who switched from Tories to Labour in the recent general election. Please read and also follow --> @bestforbritain.bsky.social

Why is the government not capable wiping the floor with Nigel Farage every single day like this? Alastair Campbell effortlessly destroys him over his Brexit legacy which by almost every economic and financial measure has been disastrous for the country

Chris Mason (approx £250,000 pa) seems incapable of giving an unbiased report, in a normal tone of voice, when speaking about the Prime Minister. #BBCNews

Lenticular cloud over Orkney at sunset, as seen from Britains most Northerly mainland point, Dunnet Head. A particularly vivid sunset framed the lenticular cloud which exhibited it's well known UFO saucer shape, especially with the turbulance going on beneath it. Notice the Old man of Hoy showing up

It's frightening. Labour need to start (immediately) clamping down on disinformation + social media companies, misuse of data, effective regulation of the press/media, and clearly addressing the concerns of 'ordinary' people, and explaining what solutions to those concerns might look like

On the streets of Liverpool, there is a humanitarian crisis A perfect storm of problems means more and more people are finding themselves homeless & sleeping rough & it’s getting worse - it’s a situation playing out across the country A difficult 🧵 on what I’ve found reporting on this situation

Following recent staff sickness, signs were up at my GP surgery yesterday, strongly advising everyone to wear a mask. It was crowded. Masked? Just me and I chose to wait outside until called. #covid

If you oppose NHS privatisation, please could you repost this and follow me? I need to know who to follow next (it’ll be you!) 🌟🌟🌟

@support.bsky.team Is anyone else suddenly getting a lot of followers who have been here one or two days, make one or two random comments and have a large following already (thousands)? What is going on? #bots

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Umm. This is like first day at school. I’ve joined up

💥 NEWS! 💥 Delighted to announce that we have TWO new Presidents at European Movement UK: Caroline Lucas and Dominic Grieve Our former President, Michael Heseltine stepped down at the AGM this weekend. Onwards and definitely upwards! www.europeanmovement.co.uk/new-european...

I have just set up this account on Bluesky. I won’t be deleting my Twitter account because there’s a bit of history within it. I will also confirm on Twitter & Facebook this is my account.

#Covid warning sign up on my local GP web page. (Cambridgeshire)

After annoying people by accepting freebies, I'm now annoying people by not accepting freebies.

Dandelions really do have impressively long tap-roots. The boots are size 46, judging by the thickness of the root at point of breakage and the angle of taper I think it's safe to say there's plenty more left in the ground!

Quick England respiratory illness update: Covid still heading downwards (good), RSV increasing, Flu not taken off yet but pronbably will soonish. For more detail on the situation please check out @bob-hawkins.bsky.social 's substack! bhawkins3.substack.com/p/covid-situ...

Hi everyone, #Orkney here 👋 (not the Orkney Library, you're stuck with us until they appear...) We're in the mood to share some pics from the islands to get things started, any requests? Here's our Old Man of Hoy in the meantime 😊

Hi! We're @molieresloge on Twitter. We're trying to free ourselves from Elon Musk's "X," so we created this account. Friends, old and new, fellow fighters for democracy, liberty, and against oligarchy & inequality, please follow us. We'll follow back. #FBR #FBPE #limitarianism #WealthTax #justice

Hello ! Good morning Bluesky ! Some Leopards can’t change their spots . . . but some of us can . . .

Hello everyone. I am now on this platform for social media. Do please repost this message so that more people can find me!

Phew! Well, now that I've decided to move here properly from Ex, I guess I'd better introduce myself. I've been an environmental journalist since 1985, and a campaigner for most of that time. Here's some blah about my strange and not-always-happy life: www.monbiot.com/about/%F0%9F...
