Adorable southern emu-wren Australia's smallest bird, 15-18 cm It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, and shrubby vegetation, and swamplands. They have weak flight capabilities, spending time scrambling and hopping through dense shrub eating insects and spiders.

Listen to Britain’s dawn chorus of 1976: the dramatic loss of birdsong in 50 years

"And the earth died screaming!"

“I love watching birds, especially little garden birds going about their business. My favourite bird is usually just whichever one I am currently watching,..." Exactly that!

Kemi Badenoch, "uniquely placed" to make an absolute ass of herself.

"And the earth died screaming"

Just a few ways Plaid Cymru are staying cool during this heatwave… 😎☀️ …while always standing up for Wales ✊

I cannot adequately express just how much I despise Kemi Badenoch. I know politicians who fail to read a room and get their tone wrong. I have never come across one with such an unerring ability to adopt the least appropriate stance on every single occasion. She is a twitter troll made flesh. #PMQs

You’re daily reminder of what Nigel Farage and Reform UK would actually do in office PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR IT youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

As you boil in the heat, never forget that all those people who for decades have deliberately and maliciously disrupted efforts to tackle climate change are probably sitting comfortable in their large air conditioned houses. Houses funded on the back of lies/misinformation they helped propagate.

Mae Andy Burnham wedi dweud yn flaenorol ei fod eisiau diddymu fformiwla Barnett er mwyn gwneud gwariant yn decach i ogledd Lloegr. Rhaid i unrhyw newid hefyd fynd i’r afael â’r tan-ariannu hanesyddol o Gymru. A fydd y Prif Weinidog nesaf yn trin Cymru gyda’r tegwch yr ydym yn ei haeddu? 👀

Andy Burnham has previously said he wants to scrap the Barnett formula to make spending fairer for the north of England. Any reform of the funding formula must address the longstanding underfunding of Wales. Will the next PM listen and treat Wales with the fairness we rightly deserve? 👀

We appear to have forgotten the history of Europe of the early to mid-20th century. Perhaps many of us were never taught it!

Yesterday I repeatedly said I was the most attacked MP in the UK. Which is true if you don't count the two who were killed, or those attacked with a sword or who had their offices set on fire and if you only count 'attacks' with milkshakes or eggs.

Strange that Reform ex-Tory Suella Braverman chooses to ignore that Nigel Farage never bothered with the inconvenience of a leadership election when he became leader of Reform. Or when Malcolm Offord was imposed as leader of Reform Scotland & Dan Thomas in Wales by Farage.

10 years since Brexit – but what was it all for? Higher living costs, more barriers to trade, and fewer opportunities for young people. Plaid Cymru has long called for closer ties with our European neighbours to boost the Welsh economy and for the benefit of our communities.

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Trist ofnadwy!

We were due to be in the studio with best pal @mrjamesob.bsky.social yesterday, in remembrance of the 10th anniversary of the EU referendum. Then Starmer resigned. The result? One of the most wide ranging, coolly angry, openly vulnerable, and deeply insightful conversations you will hear. BOOM! 🎤

Why is this even in question? The world burns and we still fiddle! "And the earth died screaming"

This is only the beginning. The climate crisis is here. So why are politicians and most of the media still acting as though this can wait? It can't. We can still avoid some of the worst impacts - but only if we find the courage to act. metro.co.uk/2026/06/22/g...

Sarah Pochin MP challenged over domestic violence comments: "You are not standing up for women, you are putting responsibility on footballers."

This is Sarah Pochin's video message in full. I swear I'm not making it up: “England won the football last night, and thank goodness they did, because on the occasions that England lose their football matches, the incidence of domestic violence goes through the roof. So, boys – keep winning.”

Today's MUST READ from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social together with his thread below on what is terrorism now and effectively the distortion of our criminal justice system to suit the state. This is chilling!

If you say “I support Palestine Action”, they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on TV.

🚨BREAKING PMQs🚨 Starmer: "He (Tice) has still not properly addressed why his companies didn't just aggressively avoid tax, but failed to pay the tax that they legally owed." "His investment company then gave huge donations to Reform, if he paid his tax with more money to deal with these issues."

😉 Sarah Pochin and Lee Anderson less than happy...

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

"A nation with solvable problems is being recast as violent dystopia, close to civil war, and why? To smooth the path to power of some of the most terrifying politicians Britain has ever seen." @johnharris1969.bsky.social

"Cars burn in Belfast, bricks fly in Southampton–& the ubiquitous cry of ‘civil war’ goes up again 4 most,what we see in real life is mundane.But those who wish 2 fan the flames of anti-immigrant feeling share a different image online" @johnharris1969.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

While Reform UK talked about reopening defunct blast furnaces, Plaid Cymru is fighting for real investment to support Port Talbot.

⚠️ A GMB spokesperson said: "Mr Farage and his Reform MPs say one thing to workers and do another... we see them for what they are – re-badged Tories after union members' basic rights."

I have to say, listening to the Today programme dedicate an entire (context free) section about whether migrants are more likely to be convicted criminals *the morning after* hundreds of non-migrants of my own ethnicity committed a pogrom is blood boiling.

"Boris had sort of chuckled nervously over the fact that £350 million we send the EU £350 million a week was plastered on the side of the bus." "And I think he was like, "How are we going to defend this?"" They all knew it was a lie. Now you have to deal with the consequences.
