Happy National meadows day from my ex silage field, where, today, I hosted Cookstown wildlife group. 10 years of meadow management has resulted in a diverse sward of wildflowers & meadow grasses. We got lucky with the weather & saw plenty of pollinators.1/2

Gaza before and after.

The Mobuoy illegal superdump could damage human health for more than a century – & cost taxpayers £107m to even partially make safe....yet the businessmen responsible gave the judge sob stories that getting caught hurt their own health & finances. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/courts/mo…

Coming soon...

Why not take home a little piece of the experience? Our Cuddly Contaminants are perfect for anyone who’s ever looked at a bloom and thought: "I wish I could hug that." Because nothing says family day out quite like cyanobacteria in plush form.

Toxic Park, where unnatural becomes unforgettable. Experience our immersive decay zones, questionable water features, and all the thrills of ecological collapse. Coming soon to the shores of Lough Neagh. Because when you can’t clean it up… you might as well monetise it.

The Hill of Allen is one of the most important sites in Irish mythology. And look at it This was the home of Fionn mac Cumhaill 🐟⚔️ The Irish Government should be ashamed. But they aren't. "Going for Growth" by encouraging a rapid increase in population to sustain building

It is simply unbelievable what we are witnessing here. What is the matter with the Western world? The US could put a stop to this in 2 minutes.

Plans to concentrate Gazans in a vast camp. Successive airstrikes on children lining up to get food or water. And now a ban on Gazans fishing - one of the last sources of fresh food there. Three key developments in the past week of “peace talks”.

Commercial eel fishing on Lough Neagh forced to close for 2025. If these were jobs lost in Agri-food giants or the mining/dredging firms on #LoughNeagh the government would be bending over backwards to help. irishnews.com/news/northern-…

It was a honour to be asked to speak at Save Our Sperrins 10th anniversary of resistance in #Tyrone The amazing Eamon Mccann on now. The crowd are not objectors. They are protectors. It's packed, joyous and full of 'beautiful trouble' Friends of the Earth NI #DalradianOut

🤔 interesting. 'Excellent water quality', it seems to suggest. Last analysis I did showed that 78 pipes discharged sewage into coastal bathing waters for 8,993 hours. One pipe next to bathing waters in Newcastle spilled for 1,532 hours, with E Coli levels high in that area.

'Independent' doing some serious heavy lifting here. These are the vested interests who profit from the continued destruction of waterways

DAERA has fined Moy Park £4000 for illegally breaking their "pollution prevention and control permit"... this is a £2 billion company... a clear demonstration of a weak and failing environmental regulatory regime....

I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation

If they were told 700 times they would not have listened. This was always about politics not transport. x.com/politicsIN/sta…
