India lost 668,400 hectares of forest in just 5 years, ranking 2nd highest globally. We are burning our future for a few extra miles of concrete. This isn't development; it’s an ecological foreclosure on the next generation. @PMOIndia @moefcc #InternationalDayofForests #SaveForests #NoAnimalsNoVote downtoearth.org.in/wildlife-biodi…

If you went to church this morning, did you take a moment to think about the building itself? The stone beneath your feet. The shape above your head. The centuries it has already seen. English Churches were built with purpose. They are the result of over 1,500 years of history, layered in wood, stone, and craft. A thread on how they were built, and why they still matter. 🧵

WOMAN BANNED FROM WORKING WITH CHILDREN CONVICTED AGAIN Jasmine Hossain, originally from Bangladesh, was convicted of child cruelty and barred from working with vulnerable people. She then breached the ban.. TWICE. Why is she still here? Source: Lewisham Letter

Forty years in politics, I can tell you everything in this is correct and we’ve got a major electoral problem. The police, Electoral Commission, and many councils don’t take it seriously enough. It advantages some politicians so there’s pressure to ignore it. We need change.

The UK is running out of drinking water. Yes, really. The UK is one of the wettest countries in Europe. Yet by 2055, England could face a 5 billion litre daily water shortfall without urgent action. So how did we get here? We have spent decades over-abstracting our rivers, draining wetlands, and failing to build new reservoirs. At the same time, temperatures are rising, droughts are becoming more frequent, and demand for water continues to grow. When it does rain, our landscapes no longer hold water as they should. Hardened cities, deforested hills, and degraded soils send water rushing into the sea - often causing floods along the way. But there is hope. With the right leadership and investment, this crisis is solvable. We can fix leaking pipes, restore wetlands, reduce abstraction, reuse water, and work with nature to store it in the landscape. What we need now is urgent action. It is time to declare a national freshwater emergency and deliver a funded plan to secure our water future. Because if we don’t act now, Britain will run dry. #WorldWaterDay

@RiverActionUK You have a water industry making billions for their shareholders and you out this to the public. You need to take action on the water industry we all pay for. Do your jobs.. not just scary words and empty actions. Or get out or the space.

@RiverActionUK @LizWebsterSBF It’s just total incompetence in the drive for profits. Nationalisation and build a pool of dedicated staff who can deal with this crisis

@RiverActionUK Isn't repairing pipes and reservoirs the job of the water companies?

@RiverActionUK @SaveTheWye As ever, there us no shortage of water, just a shortage of water management!

"We were proud of our river. It was fringed by trees. If you climbed down to the water's edge you were quite invisible from the meadow above you. Here the air was cool and richly scented. The water moved with unhurried dignity." ~C.R.Milne #worldwaterday

Mass fraud. Migrants from third world countries will always practise their cultural norms - fraud is one of them.

Sumptuous. If "Life is like a box of chocolates," then let this be the box.

Where is the mainstream media coverage of the alleged racist attack by a gang of black teenagers against a 12 year-old white girl in Bristol, asks Laurie Wastell. Attacks which don't fit the narrative don't get reported. dailysceptic.org/2026/03/22/whe…

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 Yosemite. The Sequoias. The Grand Canyon.🇺🇸 A boy from Dunbar, Scotland made the world protect all of it. His name was John Muir. 🏔️ Born 1838 in Dunbar, East Lothian. From the age he could walk he roamed the cliffs and fields of the Scottish coast. Something about the wild world would not let him go. In 1849 his family emigrated to Wisconsin. His father worked the family from dawn to dusk. John wanted to read. To think. To study. So he invented a machine that tipped him out of bed at one in the morning. To give himself more hours in the day. 🕐 In 1867 a factory accident nearly blinded him. When he recovered his sight he made a decision. He would turn his eyes to the fields and the woods. And never look back. He walked a thousand miles from Indiana to the Gulf of Mexico. Sailed to California. And walked into Yosemite. 🏔️ He lived there for three years in a simple cabin. Emerson visited. Offered him a teaching post at Harvard. Muir said no. Sheep were destroying the meadows. Loggers were taking the trees. Muir started writing. Articles read by millions. In 1890 Congress created Yosemite National Park. In 1892 he founded the Sierra Club. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 In 1903 President Roosevelt came to Yosemite. They camped for three nights under the open sky. Muir talked. Roosevelt listened. Roosevelt went on to protect 148 million acres of forest. Five new national parks. Sixteen national monuments. ✅ All of it traces back to a boy from Dunbar. He never lost his Scottish accent. He died on Christmas Eve, 1914. He was 76. Did they teach you his name? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 Muir gave everything to keep what he loved alive. Our history needs the same thing. We need our keepers. proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

In 2003 Keir Starmer won the case that gave illegal migrants access to UK benefits. Twenty three years later, we’re living in the chaos he created.
