Well, I've been on this platform for almost 16 years (not been very active for the last few of those) but the time to deactivate is coming very soon. Feel free to follow me on BlueSky

Driven grouse shooting takes up a vast area of Scoland's uplands. Low biodiversity, air pollution, damaged ecosystems, homogeneous landscapes, slaughter of native species legal and illegal... No wonder we are one of the most natural depleted nations of the world.

Regarding the recent application by @NFUtweets to allow 'emergency' use of neonics on sugar beet, this image explains the problem: most of the pesticide goes into soils, leaches into waterways, & is taken up by wildflowers & hedgerows. Only 5% in crop.

63% of farms in Wales , mostly dairy and beef , are breaking environmental regulations . Livestock farming is trashing our biodiversity – to restore nature I’m asking the environmental sector to make a #PlantBasedPledge https://t.co/SNrucGyW5h

[Shit Lawns @Shitlawns]

The skills required are lack of environmental awareness and a lacking conscience. Sound like you? Cash in on starving wildlife for 38k a year...

[Green New Deal Rising @GNDRising]

Yes, @Keir_Starmer met Taylor Swift.

He also…dropped his main climate policy, slashed support for pensioners and continues to arm a genocide.

Glad to see the British media have their priorities straight ✅✅✅

[Rob Percival @Rob_Percival_]

Ah yes, Pepsi, Nestle, McDonald's, and Uber Eats - essential partners in the UK's quest for food security.

Good number of Redwing and fieldfare, Little Egret, 40-50 Siskin female Goosander and about 50000 pheasants at Chatsworth this morning. @Derbyshirebirds

Sometimes tweets write themselves...

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Excellent and necessary article by @nickshaxson:
"Starmer seems to be taking the side of global monopoly power over the people of Britain." It's a craven and ultimately self-defeating approach. https://t.co/RhRKrXQooD

@IanCarter67 Hmm

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

Why is the UK's climate policy based on what oil companies want, rather than what the public wants or what the evidence says is necessary?

This is not democracy, this is a system that is corrupt to its core

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Depressing news that Govt may approve bee-killing pesticide despite election promise to ban it - & outrageous that British Sugar has applied to use neonics for 5th year, despite industry commitment to end reliance in 2023. Govt must act to protect bees 🐝 https://t.co/kOJYWgWvey

[Adam Saunders @AdamMetalBirder]

This is a difficult watch but really important to see.

[Raptor Persecution UK @RaptorPersUK]

Translocation of White-tailed eagles to Cumbria - public consultation opens & ill-informed hysteria begins.

Farmer & Reform Party spokesperson Mark Robinson @ThirskReformUK thinks these eagles will be 'snatching babies'. Quick, alert the hospitals!

[Derek Gow @gow_derek]

Beavers 25 years still no release clarity, Natural England making licensing of tiny numbers of enclosed bison a near impossibility. Every wild species restoration a tedious, pointless, drawn out exercise at ear poping cost. But this ?? This is just all fine.

[Adam Saunders @AdamMetalBirder]

Imagine if this £22bn was put into habitat restoration, tree planting, rewilding etc.

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

The fantastic £22bn carbon capture investment made by the Labour government on Friday will be transformational for Teesside.
The project suffered from repeated delays and dithering under the Conservatives. Labour is getting things done.
