Quite possibly!

They are popping up here and there around here (but mostly a bit further south). We used to live in Ffarmers near Rhandirmwyn (late 80s) and often used to have a pair roosting behind the house 🥰. We like to think they have followed us back to England!

Lovely lunchtime outing with @martinph1.bsky.social to hear @tomheap.bsky.social talking about his book and environmental issues generally! Already a couple of chapters in. This is one I’d be recommending to my students if I was still in the classroom! 🤣

West Midlands Police last week banned Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from an upcoming game against Aston Villa - due to public safety concerns. Days later those same fans are involved in a riot at a game in their own country.

I’m with you!! Disappointed about Geog Review etc 🙄

On point as usual!

Keir Starmer, "Before we left the EU we had a returns agreement (for asylum seekers) with every country in the EU"

"These are Farage' Brexit Boats that are coming across the channel"

Incomers: the myth vs reality of refugees in the UK Britain hosts just 1% of the world’s refugees – far fewer than many nations – yet myths of handouts and 'overwhelm' still dominate debate

Refugees - myths v realities:
And why we need to replace hatred and xenophobia with 'courteous curiosity'

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Put Up Some Fences" - Marsh Family parody of "Walking in Memphis" about Donald Trump UK State Visit

🔥 A song about Trump’s visit to the UK.

Very few songs are genius. This one is. Those lyrics are killer.

Awesome work @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social

China to Set Up Nature Reserve at Disputed South China Sea Shoal China will establish a nature reserve at a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, a step that will likely inflame tensions with Manila in the resource-rich waterway.

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,

"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"

"Aside from presenting Match of the Day.."

"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

So either Nigel Farage lied about buying a house in Clacton, when he wanted to pretend he gave a shit about the place, or he lied about it being his girlfriend's house, when he was caught avoiding stamp duty. Either way he's a lying chancer.

Aaaand they’ve just covered it up.

Which is just another layer of irony…

…given that this is state action against protest about state action against protest.

Nigel Farage to Laura Kuenssberg: "The others just tell the electorate what they want to hear"
Fuck me, the irony!

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of personal services firm is a practice criticised across the political spectrum

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here…

Gearing up!!! 😉

Mauna Loa Observatory captured the reality of climate change. The US plans to shut it down Cutting data climate collection – as the Trump administration is now trying to do – is like breaking a thermometer to avoid knowing you’ve got a fever.

Ignoring climate data won’t change reality, but the longer we look the other way, the harder our future becomes

Reform UK lost both of their first seat defences.

And wasted the tax payer ~£50k in the process.

Good for Monica!

Who do you think they took this money from?

You know how it works right?

The money doesn't magically appear in their accounts.

Today MPs will vote on the amended welfare bill.

MPs who choose to walk through the lobby and support this bill are paving the way for at least 150,000 people to be pulled into poverty.

Here are just 3 reasons why they should oppose this bill from @katieschmuecker.bsky.social 🔽

Two-thirds of small businesses would vote to rejoin EU after Brexit blow: survey

New survey of UK SMEs:

👉🏽 66% would now vote to remain in the EU (an increase of 14%);
👉🏽 56% say #Brexit directly reduced their global competitiveness;
👉🏽 65% report that friction has significantly impacted overall profits. ~AA

How the Media is Trying to Talk a Nigel Farage Government Into Reality Why for much of the British press, the unlikely story of Reform UK's rise to power is simply "too good to check"
