Put a pond in your garden & life will come. Pair of Large Red Damselfly paired up & ovopositing in my pond today - which I think they had hatched from in the last few days. #ukwildlife

petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1... Over 112k signatures so far to lobby government to hold referendum to bring water back into public ownership.

Mrs Robin knows exactly how to get my attention! When I go out, she jumps straight onto my hand to take some fat pellets. Mr Robin a little less bold but gets some too. #ukwildlife

The #TimeForChange is now! Please join me in pledging to take part in the government consultation to #EndHunting @LeagueACS takeaction.league.org.uk/page/172854/...

So Trump starts an illegal war without thinking through the consequences & without consulting his own country or NATO allies, & now he expects NATO allies to help clear up the mess he has made. Er, no thanks.

Laura Kuensberg is interviewing Yvette Cooper. Every time Yvette answers a question, LK interrupts before she has finished. So rude. If she is not interested in the answers, don't ask the questions #bbc

'Climate change is speeding up — the pace nearly doubled in ten years' @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Trump may think that Keir Starmer is 'no Winston Churchill' but Trump is no Roosevelt either. Or anything one would recognise as a leader who should be respected.

I went in my garden today partly to escape from the depressing world news. And was treated to the sight of frogs spawn in my pond. Pond only put in 1.25 years ago. So happy frogs like it. #ukwildlife

Must-read by my colleague @sandralaville who has been uncovering abuses in the water industry for years on the inside story of UK’s privatised water www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

How is that application for a Nobel Peace Prize going Mr Trump?

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Well done to BBC for the Panorama about vet bills. I never used to worry about going to the vet but these days have vet anxiety due to the very high costs. When my cat passes on, I won't be having another pet. I live alone; my cat is a hugely important companion.

This winter, happy to be hosting a hibernating peacock butterfly in my house. First spotted in my bedroom but probably gets too warm in there so relocated to unheated conservatory. It seems to like the egg box I have given it. Hope it makes it through to spring. #britishwildlife

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

“And then they made him a fake trophy because he kept whining and moaning and wouldn’t STFU.”

We need to ensure our elected officials are acting on the best intelligence when it comes to tackling the climate crisis . It's why I'm opening the National Emergency Briefing on 27 November , ensure your MP is attending at nebriefing.org

Private Equity Curse. PE firms taking millions in profits from care sector each yr, over a third are in tax havens £256m profit in three England regions, £45m in dividends, £33.6m paid in interest mostly to affiliates in tax havens. Less spent on care. Yet govts handing NHS to PE.

A brazen Robin who drops heavy hints that I should go out with food by perching on the window sill, hovering at the window and tweeting. Sometimes pecks the glass too. Of course, I always oblige. #ukwildlife

When being interviewed about sueing the BBC, Trump said they were responsible for fake news. So BBC could sue him for that statement which clearly is a lie. #SupportTheBBC

No wonder we are one of the most nature-depleted corners of this battered planet, with #biodiversity is a terrible state

The sooner this despot disappears into obscurity, the better. #SupportTheBBC

Jasper 'helping me' work from home today. So gorgeous that he wants to be close to me. #cats

Not really good enough is it?

Ok President Trump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.

Deeply concerning: "“The puppy trade in the UK is inflicting severe and legacy harm on canine welfare" #AnimalWelfare #AnimalRights www.ufaw.org.uk/press-releas...

Developers met ministers dozens of times over planning bill while ecologists were shut out

Nigel Farage's Halloween Horror 🎃

A deadly virus that has broken out at a cat rescue centre in Filey, has sadly cost the lives of 24 cats. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nearly half of the United Kingdom’s most commercially valuable fish populations are either overexploited, critically low or both, according to a new report warning that the government continues to set catch limits above scientific advice.

Little bundle of puffballs doing their thing. #fungifriday #ukwildlife

The King is absolutely right to strip Prince Andrew of both his titles and his residence at the Royal Lodge. It’s clear that Andrew's position had become totally untenable, having disgraced his office and embarrassed the country.

Considering he's supposed to be innocent of all accusations against him, this is a very 'HE'S GUILTY AS ALL FUCK' move from his brother.

Farage: epic grifter

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Nottinghamshire Reform led County Council is spaffing £75,000 on new flags and flag poles... even as council tax is set to rise by almost 5% www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Another excellent & thought provoking article by George Monbiot. The Cauldron Principle www.monbiot.com/2025/10/22/t....

It’s time for Prince Andrew to come and explain his use of Royal Lodge at taxpayers’ expense. I hope MPs from across the House join my campaign.

Newt spent the day in a water bowl in my garden. Bowl usually for birds to drink from. He or she is very welcome! #ukwildlife

If only the Octonauts were real and could save us (and the small matter of the world's marine flora and fauna) from ourselves...

Priorities.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

Delighted to spot a clouded yellow near Storrington, West Sussex today. #ukwildlife

Slightly battered looking comma butterfly feeding on ragwort. #ukwildlife

Red soldier beetles & unidentified species of moth feeding on ragwort. This often maligned plant supports a wide range of pollinating insects, some of which feed exclusively on it. #ukwildlife

Sewage discharged into rivers after heavy rainfall. National disgrace for 36 years of England's water privatisation. People fleeced, investment neglected, dividends paid, bosses rewarded. Nothing will change until profit motive removed.

Anglian Water caused 482 pollution incidents in 2024, including seven serious cases. It’s the company’s worst performance in nine years, according to the Environment Agency. 1/5
