🔴 MAPPED: The Reform-Orbán Network Ahead of elections in both countries, DeSmog has catalogued the connections between Hungary’s autocratic government and Farage’s operation. 📝 @adambarnett.bsky.social

This is verified: a wild Raccoon was seen leaving a cargo ship docked in Southampton over Easter. Raccoon is on the Species Alert list of animals considered to pose greatest risk to British ecology & economy. Records trigger a rapid response for removal, and it happens more often than you'd think.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... I’ve some ‘great’ memories of Scillonian trips to Scilly, being rolled about and trying to keep my breakfast down. Oh the relief of reaching the calm of the Scilly shallows

From.the latest @willhaycardiff.bsky.social newsletter. No surprise on the Reform section, but horrific if they win even half the parliamentary seats they are currently projected to... open.substack.com/pub/willhayw...

You have to feel sorry for James Dyson. Imagine buying up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax, only for Labour to then close the loophole. We need more patriots like him, who drive up farmland prices and vote for Brexit then fuck off to Singapore.

Feudalism - not a good idea. "They pay no capital gains or corporation tax and do not have to comply with property laws such as compulsory purchase orders." www.thetimes.com/uk/royal-fam...

This is such a beautiful film - a must for butterfly lovers but everyone else as well. Screenings from April 19 - go and see it in a cinema! www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

Imagine how much money we’ve wasted. Imagine how much could have gone into the NHS, public services, tackling poverty… Will anyone be held responsible though? For the lies that were told, the false promises made? Perhaps a brexit tax on all the corporations that cashed in? I’M SO CROSS!

Future economic costs associated with historical CO2 emissions may be at least 10 times higher than costs already incurred from the same emissions, a study in Nature suggests. go.nature.com/3NDsly7 #econsky 🧪

US has caused $10tn worth of climate damage since 1990, research finds US, top carbon emitter in history, has "a lot of responsibility" for causing ‘substantial’ harm globally, scientist says www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The White House sending out proof that Trump was indeed talking to Iranian officials these past few days, despite Iran's denials of such talks.

Belatedly reading this excellent piece from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social. A near perfect distillation of the climate theory of everything. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Always good to see scientists replicating previous famous findings.

Fascinating. If this spread continues will we start to see more and more in SE England? And will any re-establishment be clouded by questions over rogue releases?

Blossom Underwing last night - not sure I've seen this since the 1990s. Also an early Frosted Green #teammoth

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

Interesting piece on why Labour is very slowly coming round to a pro-EU stance - they’ve lost 9% support to Reform but 19% to the Rejoiners of the Greens and Lib Dems.

europeans when asked to help unblock the strait of hormuz

Just remember, the idiot trump unilaterally ended the nuclear arms agreement with Iran during his first term. Iran didn’t break the treaty; trump did.

He and his cabinet need to go. If Dems win big in November, they need to Impeach and remove and whatever else they can do to hold people accountable. It’s not just important for Americans, but the world. Ignorance and hate are expensive

Leaders around the world appear to be struggling to respond to an American administration that is no longer constrained by pretending to care about human lives, the law, or the cost of its hubris. trib.al/bORKAXv

Rewilding projects across Scotland are delivering dramatic gains for wildlife, especially birds and pollinators, according to new research:

The Strait of Hormuz is perfectly safe...

"This is for everybody. It’s not just for one section of society. What we are trying to show is that it will not only work best for you now... but will be there for you for the rest of your life. You don’t need to make an appointment with nature.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

After a long day in committee, I’m feeling utterly revived by seeing this great clip of @greenpartyhan.bsky.social making her maiden speech in Parliament. Her voice is so very, very needed. 💚 💚 💚 👌

These findings from the Climate Change Committee tell us something we already knew - Net Zero is an affordable route to a more secure, and sustainable future. Us Greens will always fight for a greener, fairer future that serves people and planet. 💚🌍 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Currently, Britain is wind-powered. And yet Farage and Badenoch want us to double down on fossil fuel dependency.

What a study - nearly 15,000 people followed up 4-8 years after a *sole* antibiotic treatment and some *still* had disrupted gut microbiome diversity. Pretty incredible. We’ve always been taught that such disruptions are ephemeral. #IDSky #MicroSky

ANALYSIS: Badenoch and Farage might not want to admit it, but Conservative and Reform plans to scrap net zero whilst boosting the North Sea would actually make the UK even more reliant on gas imports 🤔 www.carbonbrief.org/...

When the hard-right GB News recognise reality and talk about a "Donald Trump problem" for Nigel Farage & Reform UK they really are in major trouble.

For years Ukraine tried to warn the world about russia, about disinformation, and about how war itself was changing. Many leaders brushed it aside. Now the same countries are asking Ukraine for help.

Delayers and obstructionists keep saying decarbonisation will be too difficult and expensive But people who know what they're talking about keep showing that it's the cheapest, simplest and least disruptive option we have

Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.

📌 ICYMI — Nigel Farage’s Humiliating Iran U-Turn Should Be a Lesson for Keir Starmer By sticking to the correct and popular position on Donald Trump's Iran war, the Prime Minister has now forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal, argues Adam Bienkov

🙅 Tell your decision makers: #HandsOffNature! Delaying the EU Deforestation Regulation = 50 million trees lost per year Enforcing it = 17 million tonnes of CO₂ less + benefits for our health & nature. When leaders won’t do the math, your action is essential. 👉 handsoffnature.eu#take-action

The @theguardian.com view on the Iran crisis exposing UK’s energy vulnerability: clean power offers protection - The war reveals UK’s exposure to volatile fossil fuel prices. More North Sea drilling will not shield households, building green energy will www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m trying to share positive nature stuff but, well, in the enveloping global darkness, this from Simon Tisdall is spot on. We desperately need wisdom, empathy and restraint from our global leaders and, in Britain, courage to step away from Trump. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.

A huge #biodiversity "discovery" (scare quotes because indigenous people always knew it was there). You know what comes next: "lowland forests are under pressure from logging and agricultural expansion" theconversation.com/meet-tous-an...

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

Labour could bring back our water into public hands but they care more about investors than they do about you

I visited Carrifran Wildwood myself last summer, and the scale of what has been achieved there truly has to be seen to be believed. At least 400,000 acres is now being rewilded in Scotland: an incredible 2.1% of the whole country, and rapidly increasing all the time. Come ON, Ireland!!

With everything else kicking off around us, that these little guys make the effort to come here for the summer and arrive looking like this … blimey, nothing else really matters, does it? With 3 Sand Martins at a glorious Marazion this am #cornwallbirding #birdsseenin2026

The rate of change of renewables in China is accelerating. Solar has passed wind in generation. Fossil fuel generation is decreasing. Renewables will pass fossil fuels by the early 2030's or sooner. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋

I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.
