“Sustainable” timber isn’t always safe. Forests are being destroyed, Indigenous communities displaced and critically endangered species like the Malayan tiger are under threat. Demand the UK government takes action @friends-earth.bsky.social action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/sto...
Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested.
If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC.
That's sensible, proportionate policing.
A dog will look you in the eye and let you know when they've had enough. Only a few seconds long, but I'd say he's not ready to give up.
Superman's first ever appearance (I'm told).

Even Mick Baxter couldn't believe he'd scored. It was a great day at a bad time
He's not impressed by their little nazi salutes
Given that the level of fraud in PIP is so low that it is considered 0%, let's see if "genuinely disabled" are affected at all by £5bn of welfare cuts

“Oxfam’s latest inequality report showed that the total wealth of UK billionaires increased by £35mn per day in 2024. Increasing taxes on the super-rich through a modest wealth tax could generate an estimated £24bn a year.”
Nope. My dad wouldn't let me skip school so he went without me. He crashed on the A1 coming back. Bad day all round
