Large nos of Greenfinch feeding in the Field Maple at the moment. Maybe 40 or so birds both in the tree & below it. Consider how different this scene is to the concentrated nos that gather around a feeder, with all the risks of disease transmission. @markavery.bsky.social www.bto.org/our-work/new...

❌ Paul Kohler MP: "Brexit was sold as a way to cut red tape, liberate businesses and create an agile economy." 📉 "The reality has been the opposite. Instead of removing barriers, it has erected new ones. British firms now face extra paperwork when trading with our nearest and largest market."

As Brexit returns to the spotlight, I wanted to share my thoughts on the UK's future relationship with Europe Brexit was a disaster for businesses of all sizes, including for many in Wimbledon. We must begin the work of rebuilding ties immediately. Read here: www.politics.co.uk/2026/10/brex...

These guys will do anything to kill reform. They're partisans. They don't give a damn that FPTP is mangling our electoral system or that it could hand total executive control to Nigel Farage. They just care that a few times a century Labour has a majority. www.politicshome.com/news/article...

You have about 16 million customers and you are their monopoly supplier of something everyone needs every day of their lives and you now need billions of pounds of public money otherwise you are “going bust?” Maybe … maybe someone needs to ask a few questions and get some answers … at last.

Since September, Nigel Farage has been presenting a show on GB News while sitting as an MP. Sign our petition to demand that Ofcom takes action: https://bestforbritain.org/petition/farage-on-gb-news-demand-that-ofcom-takes-immediate-action/

Week after week, Nigel Farage is allowed to host his show on GB News. Even though Ofcom rules say broadcasters cannot use politicians as newsreaders, interviewers or reporters in any news programmes. Ask Ofcom to investigate ⬇️

And another Reform UK councillor abandons the party. But one individual doesn't tell the whole story. Since May, 52 councillors have left the party. We're keeping track of all of them ⬇️

Probably headline of the year: Reform investigates Reform and finds Reform did nothing wrong www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Obviously laughable. But a reminder of how these people would behave in power: Financially benefiting the journalists and pollsters who do their bidding, legally pursuing those who do not.

🤔 Even among voters who support Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, a majority — 51% — share the view that the current arrangement with Brussels is too distant.
What a brilliant session this was, with excellent contributions from all of the panel and especially Naomi @pimlicat.bsky.social in the chair.

⚠️ The scenes at Reform UK's conference were a disgrace. As was the reaction by senior Reform politicians, in particular Robert Jenrick. Absolutely shameless.
