It's not just about climate chaos.
It's also about landscape chaos.
The damage we do to the land's hydrology is layered on top of the damage we do to the atmosphere.
Our mismanagement of land commits us to a cycle of flood and drought.
We can change this, as explained here.
Please read. Thanks.
We need to calm the flood-drought climate whiplash 🌦️
In the national conversation around climate resilience, Britain’s water crisis is almost always framed as two separate emergencies.

Yesterday on fallow land I saw plants that once buzzed with bees & insects before 2000… now silent.
Pesticides didn’t just kill pests. They wiped out the pollinators that keep us alive.
No bees = no food security.

How strange Reform UK
whose leaders supported Brexit
and British people 'taking back control'
is happy to get most of its funding
from millionaires living abroad
(ps who never give something for nothing,
'donations' are the British way of corruption
buying policies like tax cuts for millionaires)

'True scale of Reform UK’s donations from overseas donors revealed
80 per cent of the money received by Reform UK from donations in the year 2025-26 has come from individuals or companies who have been based abroad in the past two years'

BBC Today programme "Brexit is a success" says Nigel Farage. This is now no longer a joke. The BBC is still spewing out propaganda and the government does NOTHING!

For too long the evidence of what impact immigration has on jobs has been ignored - when even a former chancellor is repeating the lump of labour fallacy calling this out and looking at what the data actually says is even more important. Share if you agree.
“Crime is spiralling out of control under Labour” says Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp.
It’s a lie.
According to the new Crime Survey:

Yet Tory/Reform liars say it’s surging…

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I will miss Pavel Chekov. Again 😞
My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet.
WHY
Nigel Farage, Daniel Hannan, Aaron Banks: the remaining Brexiters look so stale and dated and old. Listening to them is like eating mouldy bread from the back of the cupboard
