Numbers of insects dropping off a cliff so brilliantly illustrated on #r4today by the loss of the summer sounds of grasshoppers & crickets & pollinators of all kinds. A truly terrifying mass extinction event that none of the major parties have clearly enough as their priority.

Off the back of the #HRLeadersUnconference yesterday, expertly hosted by Fiona, Georgina Kelly and Ben Waldman... Are we really unique?

Insects in freefall. Clear to anyone who spends time outdoors.

British rioter who punches a policeman in the face gets 3 years in jail. Just Stop Oil environmentalists, including Roger Hallam, gets 4-5 years in prison-for organising a peaceful protest on zoom. Let that sink in.
