What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.
Today was about dodging the showers to enjoy this fine view over Loch Rannoch from Craig Varr, Kinloch Rannoch, Perthshire.

Before the General Election Labour promised to restore nature. Less than a year in, and the new Chancellor is leading a charge against the natural world
Email your MP to remove Part 3 of the Bill AND ask THEM to call out the Chancellor for her attack on nature wtru.st/fix-the-bill
Nothing to see here, just an iguana basking in the sun at Caño Negro, #CostaRica

Screenshot of a BBC Politics tweet shows Chancellor Rachel Reeves speaking at a podium during a live broadcast of her speech. The quote at the top reads, “We are reducing the environmental requirements placed on developers when they pay into a nature restoration fund… they can focus on getting things built and stop worrying about the bats and the newts,” as she addresses the audience. In the background, there are large screens displaying the live stream of the speech, with a banner at the bottom reading “Kickstarting Economic Growth.”
Stop worrying about bats and newts? No Rachel Reeves MP – start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on.
Nature isn’t a blocker; it’s the foundation of growth.
Success – an important win for nature! 🐝
Today, the UK Government made the only sensible choice - listening to the science and upholding the ban on neonicotinoids.
This pesticide doesn’t belong in our countryside. Farmers now need support to adopt nature-friendly alternatives.
Winter blues.

Within 24 hours, the temperature has climbed 20 degrees C and all of this has gone.
To use the correct meteorological term, it was freezie-weezie in Sutherland today…
Article in Daily Mail by Littlejohn entitled “Have I got a deal for you, Donald… Forget Greenland and buy Britain instead”
The Daily Mail has never been pro-British- it has always been pro-fascist.
The Daily Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere, passed on from 3rd, 2nd & 1st Viscounts. It’s been a tool of hereditary power & privilege undermining our democracy.
Musk & Trump excite them to take their mask off.
Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls
The Conservative party accuses Keir Starmer of refusing to take child abuse seriously.
In other news, here's former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson complaining about £60 million being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse cases
Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation
FWIW here’s a non-exhaustive list of inquiries into #CSE in last 12 yrs…
Glorious weather in the northeast Highlands today. Just perfect for a long walk to stretch the legs after being cooped up for the festive season.
Happy Dayafternewyearsday Day from the nation civilised enough to have 2 days off to recover from Hogmanay!

Happy Hogmanay from Lady Aurora, dancing across the skies of Sutherland this evening.
Bliadhna Mhath Ùr! Happy Hogmanay! Happy New Year!
It’s going to be another interesting year, bring it on!
I think this is what is known in the meteorological trade as “a tad chillsome”.
Frost day in West Shinness, Lairg, Sutherland
And waking, not walking. Aargh!
Dun…not sun… autocorrect fail!
The snow faerie has paid us a visit in West Shinness, Sutherland for the first time this year. There is nothing better than walking up to a landscape transformed from ochre, sun and grey to golden-hued pastel shades and a sky full of fire…
This unspeakable, insufferable cunt. Musk won't ever be able to demonstrate a microgram of the bravery and dignity Zelenskyy has demonstrated.

Meet ‘Rocky’, our latest resident hare, whose idea of a productive day is to sit in the middle of the rockery for hours on end.
Garden hare… every home should have one…
