Succinct

Great to do this long form interview with @skynewsrss.bsky.social We're engaging with Reform voters because they're fed up with the system - and right to be. But instead of more division, we need to invest in communities and stop the super rich screwing us over. youtu.be/MuRccrQ0D88?...

Rare plants often turn up in restored Norfolk farm #ponds: Translucent Stonewort (Nitella translucens), Tassel Stonewort (Tolypella intricata), Bladder Sedge (Carex vesicaria) & Marsh Speedwell (Veronica scutellata). Very special species usually confined to nature reserves

Please take a look at my new article on LinkedIn about the campaign to save two precious mature trees from the corporate chop. www.linkedin.com/pulse/please... #stopthechop #wivenhoe

About time! I wish a lot of my former ’dark platform’ vegan mutuals would leave it & post here instead.

Good decision! Love to see it! 👏

New post up, for all the self proclaimed poets & those who proclaim love and beauty - for Renee Good. “If someone smiles or cries, feels less alone or more enthused, when you read your work out aloud you have made something wonderful.” thecosmicshamblesnetwork.substack.com/p/the-world-...

Wow. Since Monday, the campaign to stop 'Old King George,' our 170 year old oak tree in Wivenhoe from being chopped down, has now raised over £5,500. We need another £4.5k Please take a look and give if you can www.crowdjustice.com/case/save-wivenhoe-old-king-george-tree

Robin in flight. 😍 Taken recently at RSPB Greylake in Somerset. 😊🐦 I still have 2026 birds calendars left here; www.carlbovis.com/2026-birds-c... Treat yourself. 😀🐦❤️

I've lost quite a few followers as a result of this. Probably for the best. If it pissed you off, I'm not your writer, and I'm sure you won't like my books. www.tom-cox.com/thinking-abo...

Trump has withdrawn the US from global climate treaties. Surprise, surprise his lapdogs in Reform want the UK to follow suit. But the facts won't change: the world is getting hotter, and clean energy was 90% of new power in 2025. Reform follow Trump; we'll follow the science.

Yesterday I posted my last ever Tweet and called on the Government to do the same. Read more below on why I think it’s time to leave the cesspit formerly known as Twitter. www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

If Starmer has any credibility, he must close government accounts down on X immediately. This does nothing to protect the victims of this manipulation.

PM: Grok changes ‘insulting’ after deepfake creation restricted to paying subscribers

We are very sorry to hear their experiences of dealing with Aviva and Wivenhoe Town Council. We hope that the injunction and judicial review will afford a transparent decision making process for all, ensuring irreversible decisions at the behest of Aviva are the right ones, not the rushed ones.

Today the front page of the Gazette leads with the story from one of the families affected by the ongoing movement issues near our trees, who say they 'don't want to see the trees chopped' and who, like us, think underpinning will be the best solution for them long term and avoid the need to fell.

The mask dropped sometime ago, but the true face of the brutality of the Trump administration and their lickspittles screams louder every day and remember Farage is made in this image #poetry #reneegood #politics #justice #farage

The US gov’t currently appears to be the bully of the world. With ‘allies’ like this, who need enemies? Has Starmer said he’ll ban X? I think not. They’ve been told to sort out Gr0k. U.S. has a hair trigger for criticism! Perhaps the King should avoid Independence celebrations later this year! 😬

The incredible story of The Shaggs - a band of 3 sisters created by their oppressive father in 1960s USA. I only learnt about The Shaggs from reading the book ‘This is What it Sounds Like’ by Susan Rogers & Ogi Ogas. #OutsiderMusic m.youtube.com/watch?v=92tW...

I’m watching #Patience on Channel 4. It’s alright, but lacks the humour and quirkiness of the original French version ‘Astrid‘ which I much prefer (and which you can watch with subtitles on More 4 in the U.K.)

The Palestine hunger strikers have been on hunger strike for over 60 days and are close to death. They have not even been convicted of a crime - they are being held on remand (pre-trial) for more than twice the max time allowed, and counting…🧵

A Reform UK source has admitted to PolHome that the council tax predicament is a "learning curve" for Farage's party At the same time, a senior Reform councillor in Durham tells colleague @matildamartin.bsky.social that the party is dealing with "huge headwinds" in local government finances

Europe's forests are dying, and fossil fuels are to blame But this article is about monoculture tree plantations A tree farm is not a forest

Plant a wildlife hedge instead of building a fence! It could help hedgehogs, bumblebees, blue tits, small mammals, insects, robins, frogs, fieldfares, bats, toads, butterflies, moths, blackbirds, solitary bees, wrens, hoverflies...

Two of my favourite fish species!!! Why not follow Norfolk Ponds Project for very positive environmental news!!!

This is a good start.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Happy #Veganuary ! @thoseveganguys.bsky.social check out The Globe vegan pub in Glossop. Looks fantastic! #VeganFoood www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH0y...

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

⚡2026 is a turning point. UK #climate & environmental activists face both crisis & opportunity. Fascism rises, the #climate agenda is under attack, & political representation is urgent. 🧵A longish thread on why we must unite behind @zackpolanski.bsky.social & the @greenparty.org.uk 💚

The more rogue the U.S. gets, the worse this looks.

Trump defends the ICE agent who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis. Video footage does not support Trump's claims.

I just love following this account. 😊💚 #Biodiversity #NatureRestoration #Wildlife

'It's clear that international institutions have to evolve' @elliechowns.bsky.social challenges Labour's subservience to Trump's resource imperialism- calling for a renewed approach to international cooperation, peace and security

R3form canvassers just posted a flyer through my door. I gave it back to them and send them away with a flea in their ear. 😡

It hasn’t taken long for the military jets to start flying around our town noisily after the Christmas break. They just put the boosters on and all the birds in area took off in a panic. 🥺😡 I hate it.

Ugh,!! R3form poison sent to us through the Royal Mail today. 😡 I won’t give them the publicity of posting an image.

A recently restored #pond in arable. Clear plant-filled & fringed water & all sorts of habitats present. Birds will nest in the bushes & feed on emerging insects. Pollinators of all kinds will use the pond & its plants. Every critter in the landscape will drink its water day & night. *Ponds = Life*

Wow today has been amazing, we have now reached £4,055 and counting. We are so grateful to each and every one of you for donations of any size, it's all making a difference together. Can we now reach the £5,000 mark?

Two talks coming up this month.
