David Attenborough takes on PHEASANTS!
“Native to Asia, but now released into our countryside on an industrial scale, over 30 million every year… eating vast numbers of insects, reptiles and amphibians every day.”
Time for the Government to regulate this out-of-control industry

Palantir’s screed reads like a crazed school shooter’s manifesto.
Palantir must be removed from the NHS and yesterday is already too soon.
As @goodlawproject.org have pointed out, among many others, Palantir is a company inextricably linked to the Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, and the Labour government as a whole. When they come out with scary shit like this it is time to cut ties, fast.

A (quite personal) essay from me about reclaiming rewilding in Wales, out in @inkcapjournal.bsky.social today.
I was born, raised and still live in rural Wales. My ancestral farmhouse is a ruin surrounded by conifer trees. I understand the fears.
But it's the loss of nature I fear far more.
It was an honour to chat to the good folks at @themerl.bsky.social about the history of land ownership in England - in which I attempt to summarise 1000 years of dispossession, secrecy & plunder into one podcast; along with fresh hope that the secrecy may finally end soon…

This Bill isn’t law yet. It now returns to the Lords, and this fight is far from over. (5/5)
One of the most authoritarian political parties in modern British history is leading in the polls.
As I said when the government proscribed Palestine Action - a progressive Labour government should be building firewalls for our democracy, not tearing them down and pitch-rolling for Reform. (4/5)
Protest is supposed to be disruptive. That’s the point. From the suffragettes to the anti-apartheid movement, it was cumulative, persistent, inconvenient protest that changed this country for the better. (3/5)
They knew this wouldn’t survive proper scrutiny - so they denied MPs the time to give it any.
I supported the cross-party motion to oppose the cumulative disruption amendment. The government used its majority to force it through regardless. (2/5)
The right to protest isn’t a gift from government. It’s a democratic principle, hard-won and easily lost. Last night the government tried to smuggle through a “cumulative disruption” power that would let police ban protests simply because other people had protested in the same area before. (1/5)
2/ England has recorded three of its five worst ever cereal harvests in the last decade. Bad weather cost arable farms over £800 million in 2025.
60 per cent of England's most productive farmland is already at the highest flood risk level.

Who owns England? Answering this question just became government policy.
I spoke to Hannah Marsh about 10 years of campaigning for land ownership transparency, recent wins to open up the Land Registry - and how people can help get this over the line:

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
Wonderful encownter on our walk this afternoon.
"The oil crisis is exactly what the net zero brigade wants"
These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."
Good news - High Court rules parts of Dartmoor have been mismanaged!
Overgrazing has been damaging protected sites on Dartmoor.

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England.
I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/

Guy will be talking us through this remarkable story on LBC at 12.45pm.
Pretty amazing to hear the Environment Secretary, Emma Reynolds, launching the Land Use Framework, say:
“A thousand years ago William the Conqueror commissioned the Domesday survey… understanding our land is the first step towards better managing it.”
Nice mention of geographer Dudley Stamp too!
The first-ever Land Use Framework for England has been published.
I think it is the most far-sighted plan for England's land since the Second World War.
Here's my thoughts on what it does (& doesn't) do: 1/

Game bird shooting in England faces stricter regulation, as govt proposes licensing
My comment: “Vast areas of England’s uplands have been trashed & burned for driven grouse shooting, a Victorian anachronism enjoyed only by the very wealthy- licensing is good first step”

Congrats to @guyshrubsole.bsky.social on all his amazing work bearing some exciting fruit in the last week...
Fixed that headline for you:
"Nature faces intense pressure from industrialised agriculture, which takes up 70% of England"
(Built-up areas = 8.8% of England, solar = far less than 1%)
Time to create more space for nature:
