47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

I needed that word yesterday when I tried to cut my son's hair 😅

My son: Mum, why are you wearing baggy trousers?
Me: It's just Madness.

😂

I've decided to #BackZack and voted this morning 🙂

Amazing evening yesterday at Audley End @heritagelive.bsky.social My son said it was worth missing a BBQ for 😅 Great sets from Cast, OCS and Roger Daltrey!

Wooden stair rail, B&Q Valencia orange wall on the right over the stairs. Magnolia walks on the left.

I have been painting our hallway, stairs and landing in magnolia with orange feature walls. I've done 3 coats so far and it's finally almost covered over the dark red that was there before!

@legolandwindsor.bsky.social had a great time visiting!

Cat rear end view, on dining table.

Took the cats for their annual vet check and vaccination today. They were unimpressed, we had quite a cats chorus going in the car! Still important to get it done #vet #caturday

Reform is the political mouthpiece for big oil and corporate profit.

Neither Andrea Jenkyns nor her party grasp basic climate science. It's not a surprise when they've taken £2.3 million from fossil fuel interests, climate deniers, & major polluters since 2019

Hummingbird hawk moth 😁 looks amazing!

Great news, and well overdue.

Text from Google 'when to eat scad' search says it's a horse mackerel fish and is best in October and November

Trying to work out when the fruit on our Lincolnshire Scad will be ready. Having found the correct answer, it turns out it actually is October and November. Though it's definitely still not a fish. #scad #bullace

Wow, people in Britain would rather raise taxes on the rich even if that leads them to flee the country, reducing overall tax revenues (and meaning taxes go up for the rest of us). H/T www1.politicalbetting.com/index.php/ar...

A box! He definitely fits! #caturday #catsofbluesky

Linus and Charlie Brown from Peanuts demonstrating. Linus is holding a sign: "HATE NEVER MADE ANY NATION GREAT"

There is no justification whatsoever for the US or UK to provide any support, material or diplomatic, for Israel's attack on Iran. It is a war of aggression, clearly contrary to international law.

Three years left to limit warming to 1.5C, top scientists warn The Earth could be doomed to breach a key climate target in as little as three years, scientists warn.

“Every fraction of warming that we can avoid will result in less harm and less suffering of particularly poor and vulnerable populations and less challenges for our societies to live the lives that we desire”

UK temperatures of 45C may be possible in current climate, Met Office says Experts say risk of 40C has almost trebled since 2000, with 50/50 chance of hitting that mark in next 12 years

45°C in the UK isn’t a disaster film - it’s a Met Office warning.

This is what decades of fossil fuel lobbying, political cowardice & climate delay has led us to.

This is why we urgently need a bolder Green Party - a party for the people and the planet.

Colourful red, pink, white large flowers on many kebab style sticks embedded in the grass outside the gardens

Last week I had a brilliant time exploring Cornwall. It's impossible to pick a favourite experience (well, maybe Newlyn Meadery for eating out) but wanted to mention Trengwainton Garden @nationaltrust.org.uk whose idea of making kebabs from fallen flowers was inspired, and kept us all entertained.

Bees facing new threats, putting our survival and theirs at risk Warzones, microplastics and light pollution pose serious new risks to bees and other pollinators over the next decade, according to a landmark report on World Bee Day (20 May 2025).

#WorldBeeDay - so many threats to this vital element of our #biodiversity
