Aware of peak “grumpy old man” here but faith in humanity is low today. Why celebrate your Baby Boy arriving in the world by letting off sky litter to land in an old oak tree ready to entangle the Barn Owl chicks about to emerge?! Because this is where they end up!

This is exactly what the new Sustainable Farming Scheme in Wales has to deliver. It's not that hard! Wildlife habitat alongside livestock. This place is alive with birdsong and flowers.

The Conservatives want £250m of overpaid carer allowances returned even if people only went a few pence over their allowance.

But they allow £14.9bn of PPE to be written off.

Like if you want the £250m to DWP written off
RT if you want the £14.9bn from Michelle Mone and co back

Suella Braverman used £25k of expenses to pay her parents Energy Bills for 5 years when she occasionally stayed there rent free.

Accounts of English village birds in early 20th century seem crazy, but here in E Poland it’s still true. Sat here with Redstart, Tree Sparrow, Pied Flycatcher, Lesser Whitethroat, Swallow. Also had LSW, Hawfinch, Wryneck. Cuckoo & Corncrake outside. England’s villages lost this.

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords.

Like if she needs to go.
RT if she has to go.

More than 4 out of 10 insect species face extinction. Others are declining badly. We can help in our gardens and community spaces by not being too tidy, planting nectar-rich flowers & trees, and not using weedkillers and pesticides. More: bit.ly/2FCEJYz

In the UK, populations of birds like swallows + swifts have crashed by 40% or more in just a decade, as the insects they eat vanish.

The speeding, human-driven, blinking out of life on our precious, unique Earth is a *cosmic* wrong.

Rewilding NOW!!

Good to see this evidence emerging - especially after the completely unfounded assertion by the now ⁦National Farmers' Union⁩ president in the parliamentary committee session on species reintroductions last year that south coast WTEs were impacting on livestock. itv.com/news/meridian/…

Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty's fortune has increased by £121m, meanwhile Rishi Sunak paid £0.5m tax.

A tax rate of 0.4%, while your tax rate is 37% 92.5x higher.

These are the benefit thieves.

Sums up the standard of so-called environmental journalism in The Times and The Sunday Times these days.
