Unbelievable.
Despite promising to change their ways, Thames Water is still on course to dump record amounts of sewage this year.
This can’t go on. Water companies and their regulators must do their part to clean our waterways.
Is it a coincidence that on the day Labour scrapped incentives for landowners to sympathetically manage the few remaining wildflower-rich grasslands, including ancient ones...Labour got a drubbing in the polls in Gorton and Denton.
Maybe no direct connection, but the direction of travel is clear.
If Labour wants to win back Green voters after Gorton & Denton, maybe it should have… greener policies?
Polling by @moreincommonuk.bsky.social finds nature ranks highly as a priority for Labour defectors
Stop bashing newts & bats; increase access to nature 🐸🦇🌳

It’s like the Spanish civil war - the left fighting themselves and the right being funded from external players.
No! Sick of the revolving door of prime ministers. We need stability.
He just wants to steal all its natural resources. The security issue is a smoke screen
Zahawi what a chancer. ‘Glorious revolution/ our beautiful, ancient, kind, magical island story has reached a dark and dangerous chapter’. Give us a break - who wrote that garbage, a marketing graduate? The biggest threat to the UK is Farage and his coterie of oleaginous minions.
NEW: Mapping England's Landscape Recovery projects
The Government refused to release maps of these groundbreaking projects to restore nature
So I had a go at mapping them myself

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.
Merrick was shot & killed as she slept, over two years ago. NatureScot has had all the evidence on its desk for over 18 months. Now we're being asked to wait "a few weeks" more. It's pathetic.

A society that doesn't support music education, at all levels, is a society with a massive cultural hole in it.
Starmer, a former music scholar at Guildhall School of Music, has to do more than offer platitudes. He has to allocate resources, ring-fund them within schools, colleges & universities.
Brilliant piece debunking the nonsense claim in the Daily Telegraph. But it’s dangerous nonsense, polarising attitudes & whipping up prejudice.
The DTelegraph is such a shit newspaper. Oh, and the photo? Staged - captive eagle, already-dead lamb.
Will a single Tory MP this week have the nerve state that ‘industrialised nations do actually need to reach net zero by 2050 to avert catastrophic levels of risk, and to pretend otherwise is utterly ridiculous’?
Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

29 'missing' Hen Harriers & nearly 40 birds of prey poisoned, trapped or shot in Yorkshire Dales National Park since 2015.
Not so much a National Park - more of a National Disgrace.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.
Another year I’ve not seen Hen harriers in the #YorkshireDales in breeding season. Dales habitat looks like successful Bowland habitat though.
No records ever in May & June. July records likely “brood managed” birds 2021.
Orange dots on zero are all the dates without HH.

Scrapping the Climate Change Act would be a reckless and indefensible move, undermining the UK’s green economy and damaging our global credibility at a time of escalating climate risks.
@shaunspiers1.bsky.social responds👇
Tory plans to rip up the UK’s world-leading climate plans are a “total betrayal” and risk “economic disaster”, Ed Miliband has claimed.
Scrapping the Climate Change Act would be an act of national self-harm🚨
It inspired laws across the globe, billions in green investment, and a promise to protect future generations🌱
That promise must not be broken⛓️💥

As for biodiversity, a brand new study also confirms what's well established: overall ruminant meat, especially from grazing animals (which require more land, entailing more carbon & biodiversity opportunity costs) has the biggest 'extinction footprint' of all foods: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
Thank you to everyone who dropped by our stand at #WildSummitUK yesterday....we hardly had time to take a breather and have been overwhelmed with the level of support for our work. Our Phabulous Pheasant (shit)Show caused quite a buzz! Thank you 🙏
This Trump-ally billionaire's my neighbour. He's collecting estates: Conholt, Hippenscombe (of Ravilious fame) & Buttermere, & rents the one I live on, filling it with pheasants. A piece in the Telegraph seems to say locals 'mostly like' what he's doing. Not met one yet. @guyshrubsole.bsky.social
In political terms, and combatting the rise of far right, a huge issue would have been if today's far right rally in London had been peaceful. They just can't help themselves though. Already attacking police, and violence liable to escalate. There's nothing "legitimate" about their "concerns".
Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons.
Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.
Mandelson is a disgrace. He has put Starmer and the Labour Party in an extremely awkward position for failing to be honest and straight about his dodgy dealings.
A massive, dangerous and disgusting scandal, of which far too few people are yet aware. At @fightingdirty.bsky.social we'll keep pushing to stop it. Congrats to @rachelsalvidge.bsky.social for continuing to shine the light:
