Say it’s not true! Did leadership hopeful Kemi Badenoch really just say Net Zero is “unilateral economic disarmament?”Truly terrifying if that reflects her general grasp of facts - over 80% of global economy also signed up & green investment is best way to create jobs & level up

No paparazzi! (Brown long-eared bat, UK)

This unknown is interesting. For calcium perhaps. If they eat curlews eggs do sheep eat the eggs of the other ground nesters as well ?
