Oh dear.

We all need scrutiny but calling the National Trust's staff & members lunatics and marxists and zealots over what gets served in our cafes is not scrutiny. Attacks on independent institutions have been growing in democracies around the world. Every little matters.

Women should lift each other up in the workplace. Could have said- 'it's a brilliant achievement tho we differ in our policy views'- The exact kind of woman you don't want to have as your boss if you're a woman too.

Had a good meeting with @SteveReedMP earlier today . We discussed clean water and I gave him a plan to end the badger cull drafted after consultation with scientists and researchers . . . which makes sense on all levels , including economic #stopthecull

@Otto_English 🤣🤣

According to the Daily Mail on 3rd May this year: Jeremy Clarkson bought his 312-acre farm in 2012 for £4.25million so that: "he would not be required pay death duties on the land" #Budget2024

@CeliaRichards0n Thank you Celia for shinning a spotlight on this very shady activity

The Telegraph continues to describe people as ‘members’ of Restore Trust. But RT2021Ltd (aka Restore Trust) is a private company with no members or democratic structure. It was reported this week to have spent £95k on ads attacking the National Trust. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10/3…

Afghan women are responding to the Taliban’s restrictions by dancing in traditional attire, a powerful expression of their identity and defiance against oppression.

For the first time, Dispatches can reveal the secret millions the Royals are earning. For years they've kept the details of some of their wealth a secret but now we can reveal who is paying them and for what. Watch on @Channel4 on Saturday 2nd November at 8.10pm.

I woke up seeing 60+ people are dead, thinking Valencia will be a turning point, will dominate the news, wake everybody up to climate change. It’s not though is it. The budget is dominating reporting in the UK. Public don’t care. We are determined to send our children over a cliff to their deaths without even engaging with this issue.

Huge piece of land in Northumberland that was marketed for fishing and hunting will be returned to nature, with public access. Lovely work ⁦@WildlifeTrusts⁩ ⁦⁦@CraigBennett3⁩ You had me at bumblebees and emperor moths! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Study shows #neonicotinoids are harmful to birds on all fronts... And in their General Election manifesto, @UKLabour promised to ban them permanently once and for all. That ban can't come soon enough... phys.org/news/2024-10-n…

@dave43law 🤣🤣

Well that's finished me off for the day 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #ToriesAreOut #StarmerIsPM103 #farrightfails #toptierkeir

@helen_m_stevens Beautiful 😍

Mother and baby thrush and a chiffchaff. And a rather reluctant earthworm! Thanks so much for the really big response to yesterday's baby wrens, so I thought another birdie picture today ... #embroidery

@hh_painting Just beautiful 😍

This is my painting “Walking path along two oaks”. 🎨 Inspired by my daily walk with my dog in the woods. #trees #leaves #autumn #oilpainting #art #artistsonx

Politicians who don't want the ECHR to apply to them are exactly the kinds of politicians the ECHR is designed to protect us from.

There’s always more to pick up… “Why bother?” I’m often asked. Simple - BECAUSE IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Don’t just point fingers and blame someone else. Don’t just think it’s someone else’s problem. We all have the power to make a difference. We just need to make the effort.

This is absolute madness. Carbon capture and storage has failed time and again. Labour has slashed reliable green programmes, to pour vast sums of our money into a complete crock. The only possible explanation is lobbying by fossil fuel companies.🧵 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Your reminder that right now there are people going out with packs of harriers, beagles, and bassets to chase and rip apart hares. Despite being illegal, the hare hunting season is well underway across the UK. Please give this a Repost and help expose hare hunting.
