OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

Tim, Redgrave & Lopham Fens SWT is a biological recording nightmare! Two counties (the much larger Lopham Fens section is Norfolk), four vice counties, two hectads and five tetrads! Some ignorants treat the whole site as Suffolk! I’ve never seen Gh W on the Sfk side but they are regular in Nfk.

Over-the-counter pet flea treatments could be banned under new UK rules Exclusive: ministers consider restricting pesticide-based treatments, which can get into waterways and harm wildlife

“One monthly flea treatment for a large dog contains enough imidacloprid to kill 25 million bees” - & whenever a treated dog has a dip it pollutes the river

So it’s great news for nature that the Govt is planning to ban over-the-counter flea treatments:

Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground.

War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

Good luck to my friend Viktor Orban with the election in Hungary. I hope that one day I get the chance to emulate his good work of controlling the media, undermining the independence of courts, rigging the electoral system, politicising the civil service and surveilling political opponents.

Zack Polanski, "Change is coming in 28 days time"

"These elections are between The Green Party and Reform UK"

"It's a straight up battle between Hope and Hate"

"We need excellent quality, sustainable housing for ordinary people to afford, and that’s completely different from the situation we have now."

Green Party co-deputy leader Rachel Millward on the need for sustainable, affordable homes at the Green Party local election launch.

UK-caught cod joins mackerel, as overfishing means loss of traditional British fish

Decades of this - each generation of politicians allows quota higher than ecosystems can take

It's not supporting fishing communities by doing so, in the end it's failing them

LOCAL ELECTIONS 2026 VOTE GREEN FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Today we launch our campaign for the May elections.

Locally and nationally, Labour is cosying up to developers and failing to provide the secure, affordable homes we need.

We deserve better.

On 7th May vote for council homes, rent controls and an end to leaseholds. Vote Green.

He is insane.

And this is an open declaration of intended genocide.

If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

Imagine claiming to be a Christian, waking up on Easter Sunday, and tweeting this.

25th Amendment now!

Zack in front of a hope is here sign.

🚨 First time in British history that a party to the left of Labour have topped a national poll.

💚 Hope is here. It's all of us.

✊🏼 Reject hateful, divisive politics - and let's make hope normal again.
