A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 minutes between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or your garden or community green space could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝

Every glaciated region on the planet lost ice for four years in a row now. From 2023–2025 alone, glaciers lost around 1,400 gigatonnes of ice, equivalent to roughly 560 million Olympic swimming pools (the official weird measure for anything water related). Source: bit.ly/WMOStateofWa...

We should all be concerned watching our racist media build outlets for racists to spill their bile. We need to stand up to that minority. They’re revolting. We are not a racist country. Stop the media making us out to be one.

The BBC used to be a trusted source of unbiased information. We need it to be again. An independent and credible appointment system for the Board would be a good start. Political placements should have no part in the running of what is meant to be an independent institution.

Why are so many people falling for misinformation? A new study suggests the biggest danger isn't outrageous conspiracy theories – it's claims built around a grain of truth that feel plausible. That's what makes them so persuasive.

There's a big myth at the centre of the "reindustrialisation" narrative. Truth is, despite our global strength in Services, we're still a manufacturing giant too – placed 6th or 7th in the world, before France. The biggest threat to that is actually our absence from the Single Market. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

You don’t need to fool all the people all of the time. That’s why lying demagogues like Trump and Farage are so dangerous.
