Hypocrisy in politics devalues democracy.

Local communities fighting for nature against Labour housing plans

For Keir Starmer to talk of national resilience and ignore nature is absurd | Letters Letters: Responding to an article by the PM, Caroline Lucas says he must be clearer about climate risks, Molly Scott Cato says we must reverse Brexit and Dr Victor Ajuwon applauds Labour’s directness....

Extraordinary that nowhere in an article on resilience did PM find space to include the growing threat posed to UK security by the dramatic decline in the health of nature around the world - especially since his own intelligence chiefs have recently spelt it out for him in no uncertain terms 👇

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.

They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.

That energy is all around us.

And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

This can’t stand. WHY have Labour done this? We need to be bolstering our democratic freedoms & institutions in case we get a fascist leaning government next time round Awful!

Going to lead to more protestors in prison

This is what true leadership looks like–Never forget the difference. German Chancellor, Merz, welcomed Ukrainian President, Zelensky, in Berlin today. Germany has become Ukraine’s biggest backer in its 4-year war against Russia’s invasion as U.S. cuts support. www.kyivpost.com/post/73889 #PINKS

A Kingfisher perches on a curved branch above golden water, its bright blue back and orange chest glowing in warm light. The reflection of the curved branch in the water below forms an imperfect circle beneath it, creating a striking moment.

A Little Egret steps delicately through shallow water, its slender black legs and white feathers sharply reflected below.

A Lapwing stands in still, shallow water, its black-and-white plumage and wispy crest clearly visible. Its reflection sits almost perfectly beneath it, doubled in the calm surface with soft reeds around the edges.

We heard today's #BirdOfTheDay theme was #reflection... and couldn't resist joining in with these stunners.

This is pretty funny in a Doctor Strangelove kind of way.

Viktor Orbán ousted after 16 years in power as Hungarian opposition wins election landslide Opposition leader Péter Magyar defeats Europe's longest-serving leader, promising closer EU ties and an anti-corruption drive.

Good things CAN happen - the falling of Europe s most notorious dictator

He has been a blocker & disruptor for Russia. Revulsion of the corruption and a new political party have been key.

Hungary election: Viktor Orbán ousted after 16 years in power as opposition heads for landslide - follow live The long-serving prime minister concedes defeat to Péter Magyar, who has promised closer EU ties and an anti-corruption drive.

Victor Orbán unexpectedly accepts defeat in the election.

BREAKING: Massive Attack musician Robert Del Naja defies the unlawful ban on Palestine Action.

He said “the actions of Palestine Action were highly patriotic, because they were pretty much protecting our country from getting involved in serious war crimes, and breaking international law."

Orbán’s Spying Kit Revealed: Israeli Surveillance Tool Combined with Hungarian Technology - VSquare.org Intelligence agencies of Viktor Orbán's government have been secretly using Webloc — a mass surveillance tool that tracks hundreds of millions of people via smartphone advertising data — making Hungary the first confirmed EU country to deploy it, in likely violation of GDPR. Moreover, our investigation confirms the existence of "homegrown" OSINT and spyware tools.

JD Vance is dead right

There is a lot of election interference in Hungary - it's just not the election interference he's talking about

The Grasshopper Warbler creeps its way into today's #SpringArrivalSpotlight.

A master of concealment, this warbler is rarely spotted - listen carefully for it's high, trilling, insect-like song.

On the conservation Red List, these little birds are a special spring visitor.

Guardian readers have rightly been writing in to urge the government, now it has accepted the principle of capping individual donations - for Brits abroad - to apply that principle across the board.

Big money buys influence wherever it comes from.
