My kind of gal!

“Come on people! Let’s all close our eyes and HOPE really hard that our lives will improve” What an utterly infantile message. And no @lucympowell.bsky.social for that reason and plenty of others I will not be rejoining the Labour Party.

Dear Green Party. Be more Mamdani.

We seem to have a new government that took over the old government and has yet to recognise that they are actually now the fucking government! We are in big trouble people.

He’s not wrong on this one.

There are mayors and then there are MAYORS! 👏

Oh you’ve HAVE to watch this! Have to.

Darren telling it how it is and must continue to be.

Part 2! I love how this person writes and knows stuff. It makes a welcome change.

This summer will be one of the coolest in your lifetime. With better planning for these now normal extreme summers, some heat-related deaths can be prevented.

Worth a read.

One for Mr Burnham to watch.

She’s not wrong.

Seems he’s not the messiah to everyone.

Call me old fashioned but I don’t think this is appropriate language from an MP.

Why is Britain a tinderbox? Because: 1) The climate crisis, obvs; but also - 2) *6.4 million hectares* of farmland in England & Wales is riddled with field drains - draining water from the land where it could be retaining it. Make Britain Wet Again! ahdb.org.uk/drainage

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social You’ve put up a post about regional mayors being given more power and money in their areas. As you have replies turned off (why?!) could you tell me what will happen with areas that don’t have a regional mayor. Like Shropshire? It’s a reasonable question.

She’s got a point.

France is burning! We need to stop drilling. #StopRoseBank #StopSharonGraham

Heat waves, wildfires and floods. Rightly we focus on carbon emissions but we can't afford to ignore the key role biodiversity also plays, "loss of biodiversity accelerates climate risks: Degraded ecosystems are more vulnerable to floods, droughts and invasive species." #environment  #ClimateAction

There is more to talk about than your favourite bar snacks ffs.

The new Prime Minister has argued for "good growth in every postcode". That ambition should include access to nature, clean rivers, healthy green spaces and climate resilience in every single community. Read more: buff.ly/1MikkbV

So let me get this right. What was aid to developing countries is now loans? They have to pay it back? With interest? How? And when?

All of the things mentioned in this article took place in the last week of Keir Starmer’s time as PM. His work ethic is off the scale.

bsky.app/profile/mart... I can’t tell you how paltry this looks when handled by an expert. So read it for yourselves.

Oh god. Streeting is walking up Downing St.

Where the hell is Streeting? Planning the new coup?

Well it all seems to be going swimmingly.

Correct.

Headlines will never be the same again. This landmark ruling today against the Daily Mail will reverberate across the sector. pressgazette.co.uk/media_law/da...

What an accolade. Someone (naming no names) with very small feet has some very big boots to fill. He’s at the buses stage. Could take a while.

The Bee Guy knows his stuff. Properly knows his stuff. Give him a follow.

We all need a bit of Jude in our lives.

Still working. For Ukraine. For European unity. For our country. In a few days time he will be gone. I will never, ever forgive the traitorous idiots. They have spent two years plotting to make the country less safe.

No babies, but my son employed as a govt civil servant, then got married & mortgaged a flat. His missus is nursing at GOSH So, I'd hope this is a voluntary move. .

12 people have been arrested as part of an investigation into a suspected extreme right-wing terror plot against an Islamic gathering in Suffolk The UK Ijtima, which hosted 15,000 Muslims for a programme of talks and discussions, was closed and evacuated by police on Sunday

Great news, it’s just been announced that when the current contract ends in 2028 the Merseyrail system in Liverpool and surrounding area will be brought into public ownership. Thank you Keir Starmer for giving metro mayors to powers to do this.

Where’s the ‘small boat crossings down 40%’ in a year headlines? Well done Keir and his team.

See all those little insects that look like flies? They’re bees. Campanula bees. On my Campanula plant. They’re about 0.6cm long. Teeny tiny perfectly formed little bees.
