Hi everyone!😊 I need your help please.. I can't decide which of these Puffin photos should be in my 2027 Birds calendars! 1. Puffin fish walk 🐦 2. Puffin Party 🐦 Which one do you prefer? 🤔

@implausibleblog My son too, and his wife. Exactly this. Same year - 2012. That’s a lot of debt in one household, potentially for a very, very long time.

Lady in blue, "Will student loans be the next misselling scandal?" #BBCQT Oli Dugmore, "My three year course, £9,000 a year for the tuition, on top of that a maintenance loan, I left uni with £37,500 of debt" "From the day I was charged RPI interest" "Since I went to uni in 2012, the amount of interest I have accrued is £32,000" "Was it missold to me when I was told it would cost me £9,000 a year? Yes" "On top of that its a regressive system" "If you're wealthy enough to pay the fees up front, you don't get charged interest - if you're rich enough you don't pay the same as me" "The government changed the terms of the agreement, I call that loan sharking" Fiona Bruce, "How else would you pay for university?" Oli Dugmore, "How did you guys pay for it?" "The state paid for it, didn't they?" Fiona Bruce, "They did" Oli Dugmore, "Good enough for you, good enough for me?"

@dumbandfunn I’ve ‘punished’ my skin with product, spent £££s for decades in pursuit of clear skin. Just got SO tired of it all. Having super-greasy skin it seemed counterintuitive to switch to a simple wash/moisturise routine, but for the first time ever I’m at peace. It’s worked!

(they don’t want you to know this but if you skip washing your face enough times, your skin will finally catch a break and be able to balance itself out and then you won’t need a step by step skincare routine, you’ll just need lukewarm water, a wash cloth, and a good moisturizer)

@KateOsborneMP @GMB_union Inconceivable. Incomprehensible. Why wouldn’t people - workers or otherwise - want a voice?

This is disappointing to say the least Corporations like Amazon will do anything and everything within their power to suppress the voice of the workforce😡 Solidarity to all those @GMB_union members who fought for their voice✊ Never give up, keep the fight going ‼

@suebeesley @DaniDarkSkies Same here. I noticed it as soon as our Wisteria flowered - barely any activity at all. Our poppies are usually a hub of buzzing activity. Lavender ditto. Again - nothing. Buddleja looking fine, but for the lack of butterflies! The garden’s ‘joy factor’ is much diminished.

@DaniDarkSkies Our garden is usually thronging with wild bees in June. Hardly any this year. The opium poppies are fully out and usually have bumblebees tumbling in the pollen. Haven't seen one. We were all taking about it yesterday.

WHERE ARE THE BUTTERFLIES? THE BEES? THE CRICKETS? THE CATERPILLARS? I’ve seen two caterpillars since March. The only butterflies have been a smattering Common Blues. I’ve not even had a spider in the house. Is everyone else finding the same?

@CarlBovisNature I’d never seen Swifts before a holiday in Portugal a few years ago - until this week! I’m in Somerset too.

Almost a good shot of a very fast Swift, but a telegraph pole got in the way! I still like it though. 😁 Taken last night in my Somerset village. 🐦

Please #retweet/#share for the #bees.🙏🏼🐝 Again let’s talk about #honeybees in the context of ‘Saving the Bees’. Let’s cut the bull and cut to the chase as there’s way too much confusion/misinformation out there which is a hinderance to & detrimental to genuine bee saving. 1/18

@ElizabethW859 You are the most formidable of women Liz! It’s looking superb and no doubt you have many other plans.

I have transformed this area. Just a week ago, it was weeds, brambles and stones. I am thrilled with what has been achieved. Love my garden

@ElizabethW859 Liz, wonderful to see your posts in my feed again. Looks fantastic. Jo (CGS 2017)

A much nicer day than I thought it would be. Just planting some Summer bulbs. I had an iron infusion about 10 days ago and it’s so nice to feel I have some energy…. Happy Gardening here

Show us your photos of spring blossom, by adding a picture below, and we'll share a few of our favourites next week. 🌸

@cleanupbritain I honestly believe that the current litter epidemic is a physical manifestation of the spirit of the nation today. It’s both intensely infuriating and heartbreaking.

BROKEN 🇬🇧 - public services falling apart. Litter hell on the A12. Drive this road and prepare to be shocked, furious, saddened and embarrassed.

@RevRichardColes Is there anything that the post office does that other companies don’t or can’t do these days? #BoycottThePostOffice #PostOfficeScandal

@BrixxSoftware Thank you. About to do just that!

@MakeMeAGarden Hey there! Thanks for getting in touch. We're happy to hear that you love Brixx! Don't worry, your data is safe and sound and you'll be able to access it again once you upgrade.

@BrixxSoftware I've had a busy day & arrived home to find that I've come to the end of my 7 day trial! I love Brixx & am deciding upon the best upgrade for my business. Will the data that entered during my trial be saved to my account while I deliberate? Thanks in anticipation. X

No surprise there, having recently read a report about the abysmal state of one of our local rivers, The Brue. It’s still farming practices hereabouts that cause the greatest damage apparently.

@AaronBastani @GNDRising Wow! Impressed. Fluency, conviction, great rationale. Politics needs more of this.

On tonight’s show we were privileged to give Sophia Coningham, one of the two people from @GNDRising who interrupted Starmer’s speech, an opportunity to explain why she did what she did - & what GNDRising wants. Sensible & massively on top of policy.

@roskerslake I didn’t meet your brother, but I’ve heard much about him. My partner Nick speaks fondly & with some awe of their friendship, forged on the bus on the way to & from school in Wells each day. A good man, gone too soon, as is so often the case. So very sorry for your loss.

My brother Bob (Lord Robert Kerslake) died yesterday after a short battle with cancer. We are all devastated.

Today is #NationalMeadowsDay! 🥳 The loss of our uplifting hay meadow habitats in the UK makes my heart hurt, so I want to share with you the secret for turning your lawn into a mini wildflower meadow for *free* 👊 🧵 (1/9)

@woodlandbirder @martin_gregson @Jan_S_B_459 There are deterrents. I’m not sure how effective they are. I’ve had someone else’s horse, cattle, sheep in my garden. Horse did a lot of damage. A fox tapped at my window once - amazing! Swallows, wrens & starlings fly into my house at times. I love them all & I love my cat too.
