I’m convinced that most people want to help nature thrive & have no idea that some common gardening methods are harmful to wildlife. I’ve created a poster to illustrate the benefits of long grass habitat. Using weedkiller can seriously damage wildlife. #nomow #nomowmay #organic

Looking forward to the second episode of #BBC #Springwatch this evening! My favourite section from episode 1 was definitely Digger Alley, which was extremely interesting. Here's a photo of a Grizzled Skipper #butterfly snapped in Sussex at the weekend... 🦋 BBC Springwatch

Just 2 days after being featured on #BBC #Springwatch I found my own pair of Dark-edged Bee-flies mating in Sussex! (2nd image shows one of the pair flying away after they separated) BBC Springwatch Chris Packham Megan McCubbin Michaela Strachan Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔 #BeeFlyWatch

#BBC iPlayer #Eclipse Coverage... Pictures... fantastic. Sound... seriously, why? We don't need constant interviews. This isn't a general election. Let us listen to the sounds and reactions of the local wildlife!

Rishi Sunak today announced plans to review the fit note system for people who aren’t well enough to work, with a focus on mental health. His speech continues a trend in recent rhetoric that is stigmatising, harmful, and inaccurate.

Today the PM issued some cold and borderline inhuman rhetoric on benefit reforms. Again he wants to make life harder for Disabled and vulnerable people after announcing a "chilling" set of reforms to force people back to work. This persecution has to end. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

'Rishi Sunak is taking the power away from GPs and putting it with people in the DWP who will not be incentivised to put the patient at the heart of the decision they're making.' James O'Brien and doctor Zack express their 'anger' at the Tories' action on 'sick note culture'.

Today's news feels like an assault on disabled people. We are in a cost-of-living crisis. Government looking to slash disabled people’s income by hitting personal independence payment (PIP) is a horrific proposal. It's dangerous and risks leaving disabled people destitute.

A man who has never known hardship can’t understand why so many struggle with mental health issues. A man with no medical training presumes to tell GPs why they shouldn’t be using their expertise to assess patients. Crass Tory cruelty. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

What a calm, yet powerful message to Sunak

If numbers have surged over the past 14 years, which they have, it is because Conservative governments make us catastrophically unwell. "Our mental health is worse because our general health is worse." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Hey Sir Jeremy Hunt MP 👋 Just another reminder that Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is not an ‘out of work’ benefit. If you’re still confused about disability benefits, check out our website. We've got lots of information that could help 🔗 scope.org.uk/advice-and-sup…

ELECTION NEWS The general election will be on Thursday 4th July. Here are 3 ways you can make a difference for disabled people ahead of polling day 👇

Dear Wes Streeting, given you're not a doctor or psychiatrist, just an elected politician, perhaps you could do the honourable thing, and resign over these damaging comments? 😤 Never again will I vote for The Labour Party #RedTories
