Was it only four days ago The Telegraph comment pages were gazing into their tea leaves ?

Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it. Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

The migration doom loop at work: does anyone in government seriously think that a strategy designed to keep out skilled workers and students makes either economic or political sense? ://www.ft.com/content/7408ad00-e4eb-41c7-8849-36061bc0eac1

🐟🌲💧- Our environment is under attack! The government is getting rid of the biodiversity net gain promises they previously made. That means precious habitats like our chalk streams in Hampshire are all under threat. This is not acceptable. We have to protect our environment.

And this is begorw longer-term threat from sea level rise. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Latest from me: on Floods, Storm Claudia & the ones that are ignored, and why. We really have no idea what's about to hit us www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🌿A full house for the launch of the new APPG for National Parks & National Landscapes yesterday! 🌿 The new APPG will provide a powerful voice in Parliament 💪 A huge thank you to all the MPs, Peers & partners who joined us to make this such an energising start

It's now clear that the gov't are NOT proposing to repeal the Protected Landscapes duty 🙌 A huge thank you to the more than 200 charities, businesses & organisations who joined us in writing to Keir Starmer 💚 Now to focus on improving our Protected Landscapes... www.cnp.org.uk/news/plans-t...

Ed Miliband is entirely right here. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

Bravo Chattanooga! “A city once dubbed ‘the dirtiest in the US’ has been designated North America’s first national park city... a citizen-led cleanup and environmental legislation helped to revitalise riverfronts and transform former industrial sites into parks and trails”

ah lads #RaceAcrossTheWorld is back on BBC1 at 9pm Wednesday 23rd April

Nations from 175 countries have gathered in London this week at the International Maritime Organisation to hammer out the final details of a deal, more than a decade in the making, that could finally deliver a plan to decarbonise shipping over the next 25yrs www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tickets selling fast - see me at the Linnean on Thursday talking about adapting conservation to address the uncertainties around future climate change

Cowslips and bees in Sussex today 💛🐝 #WildflowerHour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Funding used for Nature Based solutions = 💚🌟🥳

I did TEDxLondonWomen a while back and it got picked up by TEDtalks and now has over 1.7million views. Coolest thing that ever happened to me! Especially good that I was talking about action on climate and nature dealing with populism and that keeps getting more relevant www.ted.com/talks/angela...

Great news! Congratulations @tonyjuniper.bsky.social on being reappointed as Chair of @naturalengland.bsky.social 👏👏👏 www.gov.uk/government/n...

In the week everyone's talking about Adolescence, here's the stats on how the crisis in teenage boys is shaping the future in a really quite terrifying way:

As I explained here the Conservatives move was not without electoral risk to them. Yes the politics of climate can change especially if it’s seen to be unfair, but at the same time for most of the public tackling climate is seen as a hygiene factor for the next generation. bsky.app/profile/luke...

Busy night for the toads and newts. Please drive with care in migration areas @sussextw.bsky.social @sussexwildlife.bsky.social @southdownsnp.bsky.social

The UK has now issued a travel warning for the US: possible arrest or detention for failing to meet entry requirements.

Costa Rica has massively rewilded over recent decades. Has this led to the collapse of farming, rural society, or national wellbeing? Totally the opposite, and we in Ireland have SO much to learn from their example. My piece for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou...

Can you believe Spotify are hosting this “course”? Would hosting this be a breach of the UK’s Online Safety act? Shockingly there’s no way to report this on the Spotify app?!? Source : www.linkedin.com/posts/eloisa...

Another newt tonight ! @southdownsnp.bsky.social #ToadsOnRoads #NewtsOnRoads #SouthDowns

Some in Labour HQ may want to reflect on this - here’s a policy which has drastically improved air quality, benefitting the poorest citizens. But Starmer’s LOTO started criticising it because a couple of Clarkson bigmouths complained in focus groups & they (wrongly imho) blamed it for Uxbridge loss

Happy #InternationalWomen'sDay ! Congratulations @sarahjlonsdale.bsky.social on the publication of 'Wildly Different: How Five Women Reclaimed Nature in a Man’s World'... which traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earth’s wild places. 🌿

For whoever needs this 💚 #SevenSisters #SouthDowns

The UK Government English #Devolution white paper outlines changes to local council structure. The Government has also asked councils in the Hampshire & Solent region to propose how they'll restructure to become larger unitary authorities: winchester.gov.uk/news/2025/fe...

First daffodils! Happy St David’s Day! Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!

Took eldest daughter to National Portrait Gallery’s The Face: Culture Shift exhibition. I’m anti-nostalgia, but this had such a great energy and I left feeling so lucky to have lived those Happy Days 🙂💗 #TheFace #Clubland
