@exitthelemming @_CFTA Umm - doesn’t that quote say that I’ll age faster if I take part in the arts?

“In the latest study, the middle-aged and older adults aged 40 or above received the biggest boost to the pace at which they aged as a result of taking part in the arts.” Follow @_CFTA, support better arts funding and soon we’ll all be toddlers again theguardian.com/science/2026/m…

@Wundek @EricIdle The one with the film score by Arnold Bax, a largely forgotten great British composer.

This little boy grew up to direct Monty Python. John Howard Davis. Weird huh? Just trying to cheer you up. We’re all in Trumps Orphanage now….

@MooseAllain So sorry for your loss.

@Mike_Fabricant Am I alone in being quite keen on ‘legal process’?

The UK has TWO RAF bases on Cyprus which are far closer to Iran than the domestic airport on Crete being used by the US. All because of #Starmer's obsession with 'legal process'. Iran has an evil regime.

@ChronandEcho Major?

@SteveBakerFRSA @SophyRidgeSky I’m sure they’d let you back in eventually.

@SophyRidgeSky If we kicked out everyone who is profoundly wrong about something, I’d be very lonely.

Robert Jenrick: If the Conservative party has really changed, why wouldn't you kick Liz Truss out? I've told Kemi to do that. She chose not to. And it speaks to a broader truth. You told Kemi Badenoch to kick out Liz Truss? Jenrick: Multiple times

Reserves manager Aidan was on BBC Look East last night with a clear warning about the impact of dogs off leads on nature reserves. The piece featured stories from volunteers and the public about distressing dog incidents they have witnessed at Pegsdon Hills in Bedfordshire.

@12beesbuzzing @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour I think it’s Timothy, Wendy. Hard to see from the picture, but foxtail’s look a bit softer, and have ‘v’ shaped ends to the flowers. Timothys have ‘U’ shaped ends, and are just a bit harder: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_(…

Flowering grass from the chalk verge of the Ridgeway National Trail for this week's #wildflowerhour #grasschallenge is it Meadow Foxtail? @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour

Arable land has been flattened by history of ploughing. In restoring such sites it is important to introduce variation. Here I look at butterfly banks and enthuse over the experimental testing. youtu.be/5kgAXVFo610?si…

Undergraduate studying ecology or conservation? Lecturer teaching these subjects? Here is a playlist of 27 three minute videos, each explaining a fundamental concept. Hope it is useful. Say if any gaps you would like filled youtube.com/playlist?list=…

@RSBenwell There’s some interesting stuff in the bill. NE being able to comp purchase, for instance. The requirement to consider viability in costing EDPs is worrying, and will be interesting to see how that interacts with the requirement for the SoS to agree they provide improvement.

We want to see the #PlanningBill work harder for nature. 🦉all planning decisions must be in line with nature & climate targets. 🦉more nature sites & irreplaceable habitats should be legally protected 🦉development should be "wilder by design" with new Building Regs for wildlife

🧵Previous attempts to speed up environment planning rules were deregulatory: ripping up rules defending rivers from pollution, habitat from destruction, wildlife from extinction. The #PlanningBill sets a new tone aiming for nature recovery & development. publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill…

Wild beavers are back. gov.uk/government/new…

Two weeks ago, a historic release at Nene Wetlands welcomed Northants’ first beavers in 400 years. We caught up with @wildlifebcn at the release to hear more about this milestone moment 🎥👇

🦫Here is a snippet of what the beavers have been up to over their first weekend at Nene Wetlands. 🏠They are settling in & enjoying their new surroundings. 👏Huge thanks to @GrafUKLtd for sponsoring the trail cameras so we are able to monitor the beavers.

Progress towards improving the environment has slowed with government still largely off track in achieving its legal environmental commitments, our latest annual assessment has found. Read more about our report that assesses 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024👉bit.ly/4hj23Kw
