If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945.

The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

Stop worrying about bats and newts? No Rachel Reeves MP โ€“ start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on.

Nature isnโ€™t a blocker; itโ€™s the foundation of growth.

At PMQs I challenged the Prime Minister to drop his opposition to a new UK-EU customs union.

With Donald Trump threatening trade wars, we should rebuild ties with our European neighbours and tear down the trade barriers and red tape hurting British businesses.

No10 silent after Trump says Ukraine shouldn't have fought back against Putin Speaking in the Oval Office, the US President told Fox News Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelensky was "no angel" and added he "shouldn't have allowed this war to happen"

The people of Ukraine have valiantly fought to defend their democracy and freedom. Donald Trump has only ever fought to enrich himself and his cronies. Britain must stand with Ukraine against Putin.

Donald Trump returning to the White House will be deeply worrying for millions of people in the UK and around the world. With a President who promises trade wars, undermines NATO and praises Vladimir Putin, the threats to our national security and our economy are clear.

Wishing everyone everywhere peace and inspiration. Come what may, let us stand strong for all that is right and just. Let us defend those who are being mistreated, and live with kindness and respect as Martin Luther King hoped we would . Our task is clear. โค๏ธ

Ah yeah. There she goes again. Enthusing about the need for systemic & economic transformation if we are to succeed in protecting the planetโ€™s life support systems that we need to thrive (my whole career as a wildlife biologist & broadcaster has led me to this point, I couldnโ€™t be more convinced)๐Ÿงต

Bizarre thing happened to me yesterday that my teenage self would not believe. I was playing at the gig to celebrate the life of the genius that was Neil Innes. Whilst waiting backstage to go on, Michael Palin sang the lumberjack song to me, in German.

Trees enable what is within them. I love seeing deer and occasionally a badger. Then the wonderful light in a beech wood in spring The pleasure in walking carefully around bluebells. Trees are a wonderful thing.

An Avocet stands poised in shallow water, its black-and-white plumage stark against the fragile stillness. Wings raised in a protective threat posture, it embodies a planet fighting for survivalโ€”a reminder of whatโ€™s at risk and why the fight for people and planet must go on.

#COP29 has failed to deliver.โŒ

Trust is broken as leaders leave glaring gaps in finance and ambitionโ€”putting people, planet, and the worldโ€™s poorest at risk.

Weโ€™ll keep fighting.

The climate and nature crisis canโ€™t wait another year.

Hedgehogs in the UK are now "vulnerable to extinction". This is a much loved small mammal. Many people are trying to make life easier for hedgehogs, such as connecting gardens with small holes. Lets hope that it works. Hedgehogs do have help, the BHPS or "British Hedgehog Preservation Society".
