There's lots that welcome in this piece but forgive my scepticism. Starmer seems more than willing to ditch protection of the environment at the first sniff of trouble. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Barry Hearn seems like a nice man. theguardian.com/sport/2024/apr…

Always assumed TikTok was soma.

Never thought of going to the Isle of Wight before but fancy a spot of trespassing. You can’t call it the KCIII coastal path and then divert it inland round a palace.

Trucks are generally much better than some car drivers. Although quarry traffic in the Peak clearly gets very bored dealing with cyclists. I often muse that the last thing I ever read will be the words: Lomas Distribution.

A reminder that China literally disappeared a child in order to tighten its grip on an independent nation that it illegally occupies.

This, from a leader that legitimized Viktor Orban, normalized Donald Trump and signed off on Polands whitewashing of its role in the Holocaust.

The Kinder Mass Trespass was a great thing but the movement for better access was well established by 1932. Need to get history right.

'The saddest thing is Britons don't massively take to the streets to say how awful this law is'. How true.

“ #Bhutan started forcibly expelling its ethnic #Nepali population over three decades ago.”

Thirty years later, it’s overtime for Bhutan to release its ethnic Nepali political prisoners.

Let these people go.

This is a great piece that in the context of poisoned rivers and govt indifference makes perfect sense of public outrage. Access campaigns go back further than the 1930s though…

Good to see someone in the Greens will defend the Monsal trail.

Surprise! The Chinese authorities delay issuing Everest permits for so long climbers have pulled the plug and gone south instead.

I’ve voted Green on a few occasions because I’m appalled at what’s happening to the environment. But having heard the leader of the Scottish Greens trying to rubbish the Casa report I’m not going to do so again.

This is an egregious example, but I do wonder about conservation initiatives that lack forestry skills. Several examples here in the Peak of dead saplings and inept felling.

Parliament is running out of time to pass legislation to end the sale of precious peat bogs for garden compost which is important for nature and climate goals.

So this may fall to the next govt to take this forward.

If that's Labour, will you commit to this Wes Streeting MP?
