A bunch of bananas on a table. Above it one speech bubble comes from the left that says bananas are yellow. On the right a speech bubble says bananas are red. Above both is a speech bubble between them that says bananas are orange. Fact with an arrow points to yellow, opinion with an arrow points to red and middle with an arrow points to orange. Middle Ground Fallacy. Suggests that the middle point between two opposing views is automatically the most accurate.

The truth isn't always found halfway between two opinions. Sometimes it's firmly on one side.

A House Martin stands on bare, sandy ground, its black-and-white plumage striking against the blurred background of green and earth tones. These agile migrants once filled UK skies in summer, but their numbers are plummeting. With insect declines and habitat loss pushing them onto the Red List, the UK Government must act, because when nature declines, we all lose.

The UK’s new plan for biodiversity loss points to ambitious targets - but without action, it’s just words on a page.

As one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth, it's time for the UK to step up with strong laws, clear frameworks & proper funding. 👇

We need it more than ever now.

A Robin is perched on a weathered wooden surface, its bright orange-red breast puffed up and beak wide open in full song. The blurred background creates a soft gradient of earthy tones, making the Robin stand out. With its legs firmly planted and feathers fluffed, it looks as if it’s passionately delivering an important message to the world.

As Trump withdraws, cities like London will lead the way on climate change, says Sadiq Khan It is deeply disappointing that President Trump has chosen to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, once again.

The climate crisis is an existential threat. Cities like London will continue to lead the way. We’ll redouble our efforts to work with our friends in US states and cities to uphold the key pillars of the Paris Agreement and demonstrate the economic opportunities that come with green investments.

Photo of Mayor of London Sadiq Khan standing in front of Piccadilly Lights that's featuring the following message: London is, and will always be, a place for everyone followed by the image of a heart.

I want to remind Londoners that our city is—and always will be—a place for everyone.

We’ll continue to celebrate London as the diverse, open and welcoming city it is.
