Spiders are definitely more scared of you than you are of them! They experience fear and actively view humans as massive, life-threatening predators. If you spot a giant house spider on the move these days, it's probably an adult male on the search for a mate.

Be the person in the room who's kind to spiders! The UK is home to over 650 native spider species. They eat millions of flies, mosquitoes, and aphids, maintaining the delicate biological balance of our homes, gardens, and countryside.

Nigel Farage’s attack on the RNLI and co is a new low even for this bottom-feeder. He wants to prosecute anyone who saves lives of people that he doesn't like. Desperate Farage diverts attention from investigations by pledging laws that can't work. archive.ph/5UYnG/

Every year, construction works around the country threaten occupied swift nests, obstructing access and destroying colonies. Campaigners have repeatedly tried to stop swift nests being destroyed by developers, but have failed.

My colleague @sianberry.bsky.social is spot on. I know many Labour MPs know the Home Secretary's plans on indefinite leave to remain are cruel and unfair. Now is the time for decent MPs to stand up.

Let’s eradicate our life support systems – that’ll teach the liberals! It's not just about giving destructive industries what they want, important as this is. The likes of Trump and Bolsonaro will kill the planet out of a vengeful desire to hurt. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
