I'm disappointed.
I feel really let down.
When the one holding his sledgehammer turned it round and held it like a guitar I thought they were going to finish with a nice sing along, White Cliffs of Dover that kind of thing.
How very sad 😢

Three marshmallow faces labelled Dustin,Lucas and Eleven none of which bear the slightest resemblance to their actual characters in Stranger Things.

When you asked if I'd seen Stranger Things and I said yes-well.... I don't think I've ever seen stranger things than these.
(They taste awful too with a texture like a rubber ball)

A dead Puffin lies on wet sand, its black and white feathers darkened and slick against the beach. The bird rests on its side, wings folded, with its distinctive orange bill clearly visible against the pale sand.

Heartbreaking: Right now, thousands of Puffins are washing up along our coasts and further afield.

It is devastating to see.

These birds are Red-listed in the UK and already under serious pressure.

Mass deaths like this, known as a “seabird wreck”, can take years for colonies to recover from...

An Atlantic Puffin floats low in dark, choppy seawater, its black and white plumage slick against the surface. The bird’s bright orange bill stands out sharply as waves ripple around it.

Why is this happening?

All winter, Puffins have been far out at sea.

It's thought that prolonged & increasingly unpredictable storms may have made feeding impossible, leading to starvation.

Already vulnerable, our seabird populations have little room left when conditions turn against them...

An Atlantic Puffin stands on a narrow, rocky cliff ledge streaked with lichen and tufts of grass. Its black back and white chest contrast with the pale stone, and its bright orange bill catches the light. The blurred backdrop of steep coastal rock faces hints at a rugged seabird colony, one of the special coastal habitats that provide vital nesting sites for wildlife.

Which is why the habitats they fight to return to must be protected.

Weakening protections for key sites for nature would push our already struggling wildlife closer to collapse.

Yet the UK Government is considering doing just that.

Satirical protest floats in Düsseldorf showing oversized caricature sculptures used during a demonstration against U.S. politics, with exaggerated figures, political slogans, and strong visual symbolism. The scene takes place in a public street with crowds watching, using mockery and provocation as a form of political expression.

I'm in politics for people like my Dad.

His dad who was Finance Director at the English Electric Cooker Company and Managing Director of Cannon Industries?

His dad, whose startup company went on to turnover millions and who privately educated his son?

Well said Kate 💙

Stone bank, once the base of a hedgerow. Now the hedge shrubs have grown out into full size trees, the roots of the trees growing down through the gaps between the moss covered rocks, creating an even more complex network of spaces to shelter wildlife. The grass, moss & wild plants create habitat and food for all sorts of tiny invertebrates & nesting material for birds.

Old bank, high on hillside - a semi-permeable barrier to slow water flowing off the hills, reducing flood risk in the valley below, preventing soil from washing away in runoff. An abundance of plant life drinking up that slowed water, supporting birds & animals.

A reminder to UK broadcasters, just because Reform UK are holding a press conference, it does not mean you need to dedicate so much of your day’s news to it

'I nearly died on the streets - then found a new family' Moses was sleeping on the streets after he and his teenage son were evicted from their London home.

In London alone, councils are spending £5m a day on temporary accommodation and support for people experiencing homelessness.

Imagine if that money was spent on housing and helping people avoid homelessness in the first place?

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.

Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.
